Equity and equality are polar opposites. To pursue one is to destroy the other<\/strong>, and, true to Kennedy&#8217;s observation, &#8216;nothing&#8217; will have been accomplished in terms of the stated objective.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, Kamala vowed that the Democrats would &#8220;put equity firmly at the center of our economic policy.&#8221;  <\/p>\n<p>However, &#8216;<strong>equity&#8217; is not, and can never be, an &#8216;economic&#8217; policy since it requires the initiation of force, coercion, and violence to carry it out.  It is a criminal act for an immoral purpose.<\/strong>  Simply saying that someone &#8216;needs more&#8217; than someone else morally justifies nothing, especially the use of force against others.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For the Left, governing is never about a &#8216;moral&#8217; principle, it&#8217;s always about a &#8216;more&#8217; principle. And it always ends with everyone having less.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s because <strong>&#8216;equity&#8217; is a collectivist concept<\/strong>, under which everyone in the collective becomes &#8216;equally poor&#8217; and oppressed under the jackboot of fascism, socialism, communism or any combination thereof. Equity leads to tyranny, poverty, and less for everyone.  <\/p>\n<p>In contrast, <strong>&#8216;equality&#8217; is an individualistic concept<\/strong> based on justice and on the principle that every individual is equal before and under the law.  It is only in this context that anything called &#8216;equality&#8217; is possible. When the law bears equally to all, equality leads to freedom, prosperity, and &#8216;more&#8217; for everyone.  <\/p>\n<p>And that, in a nutshell, is why &#8216;equity&#8217; is always just Left, and &#8216;equality&#8217; is always Just Right.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/\/www.justrightmedia.org\/blog\/875-topics\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/www.justrightmedia.org\/images\/buttons\/topics.gif\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"\/\/www.justrightmedia.org\/blog\/875-clips-credits\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/www.justrightmedia.org\/images\/buttons\/clips_and_credits.gif\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you found this presentation valuable please consider supporting us:<br \/>\n&#x1f9e1; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paypal.me\/justrightmedia\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">PayPal<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While the Democratic National Convention was being hailed as an &#8216;electric&#8217; event by Democrats, the real &#8216;elect trick&#8217; was being pulled off by Robert F Kennedy Jr and Donald Trump.
