Neal Boortz says that the tsunami tragedy is bringing all the socio-commies out of the woodwork, and they are calling for income redistribution and "fairness" between the haves and the have-nots.

Uh oh. Here it comes. The Independent Online Edition features an article today titled "Could the tsunami disaster be a turning point for the world?" The lead paragraph reads: "As the international aid effort grows and George Bush launches a fresh appeal, we ask politicians and commentators if 2005 might see a new determination to tackle global poverty."

So, there you go. A massive earthquake and the resulting tidal waves are somehow being translated into an urgent need to address the problem of world poverty. We all saw this one coming.

Neal goes on to catalog the numerous comments of people who seem to think the way to get poor people out of the poor house is to seize money from the evil, hated, rich people. Not once does someone mention that freedom is the real way to pull third world nations out of poverty.
