A Primer for Those Who Would Just Rule the World with Love of 'The People'

When you are for "The People," the great faceless humanity called "The People," one might well ask: "Uh, are all 'The People' the same?" So, like, which "The People" is she for? I am a member of "The People," dues paid through 2020.

Is Kamala for me? No? So for which "The People" is she for? The "The People" in her state who are homeless in tents on the sidewalks, living in urine and feces amid typhus? Or the "The People" trying to clean up those streets, get them mental care and addiction treatment, and restore the streets to the First World? Which "The People"?

Most people - normal people, that is people along the norm - will work, but not to their best conceivable output, if they are not rewarded extra for giving extra.

A great many people will not work at all, feigning illness, assorted maladies, and just-plain pleading: "I am working as hard as I can."

The most perilous ramification of socialism is that, sooner or later, unequal outcomes inevitably unfold because people are inherently different.

Increasingly, government turns to police and then to the military to superimpose ostensibly equal outcomes onto unequal people.

People always will be people, and those with superior gifts and skills will try to rise beyond the median.
