\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: The president has been on this kick lately of income inequality and fixing it. We gotta do something about economic inequality, educational inequality and income inequality. It\u2019s just all equality. We gotta do something about it! The president said, “If the Congress doesn\u2019t do anything about it, I have a pen, and I have a phone, and I will do it myself.” <\/p>\n

Now, the way liberals go about changing inequality. A, the whole premise is flawed because you can\u2019t. There is no such thing as equality, other than of opportunity and before the law. But there is no equality of what\u2019s gonna happen to you when you engage or pursue your opportunity, and there\u2019s no guarantee that\u2019s what\u2019s gonna happen to you once you have your equality before the law. There is no equality of outcome.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s always held out as a utopian dream, but it\u2019s not possible. Equality is not possible. The pursuit of equality, however, people really love that. For some reason, people attach the most wonderful of motives to people who say they see all this inequality out there and need to fix it. It\u2019s just not fair. You\u2019ll hear it manifest itself in discussions about the so-called widening gap between the rich and the poor or the widening gap between men and women. It\u2019s like actually two twin beds, but that\u2019s another story.<\/line><\/p>\n

You\u2019ll also hear about the widening gap in the educated and the uneducated. The liberals will all say, “We must do something about it” and some in our population swoon, “Oh, yes, it\u2019s so unfair, and so unfortunate, and we\u2019ve gotta do something about the inequality.” So the Democrats then have their reason to do something about it, and the way they go about it is not trying to make people equal at all. <\/p>\n

The way they go about it is not even rooted in changing inequality, at the end of the day. The way they go about it is destructive for everybody. When liberals see income inequality, for example, who do you hear them bitch about? The rich. When you hear them talk about income or economic inequality, who\u2019s to blame for it? The rich. Now, who are the rich, to the Democrats? Well, the rich are the winners of life\u2019s lottery.<\/p>\n

They\u2019ve had nothing to do with it. <\/p>\n

They just lucked out. <\/p>\n

They haven\u2019t worked hard. <\/p>\n

They haven\u2019t prepared themselves.<\/p>\n

They just won life\u2019s lottery. <\/p>\n

In fact, the rich people that former congressman from Missouri, Dick Gephardt knows… He said that the rich people came to his office all the time, and one said, “Dick, if you\u2019ll just raise my taxes — I mean, just keep raising my taxes, Dick — then I\u2019ll have more money than I\u2019ve ever had in my life and so will everybody else, and it\u2019ll be a much better country.” Dick said he knew rich people like this. <\/p>\n

They came in and constantly asked him to raise their taxes, on the premise they would have more money than they\u2019ve ever had. Dick told this story many times on television. What the Democrats do with income inequality is punish the people at the top of whatever bracket we\u2019re talking about. If it\u2019s income, they want to raise taxes. They want to impugn, punish, institute more regulations, just make it tougher and tougher and do what they can to take money from them.<\/p>\n

Under the premise, by the way, that somehow that money is going to end up in the hands of people that don\u2019t have much. It never works out, does it? But that\u2019s what the promise is. The Democrats, you might hear them say that the rich are rich because they stole all of their money or somehow fleeced the poor for all of their money. “If it weren\u2019t for these cheating, skunk, lying, rich people, you poor people would have the money!<\/p>\n

“You remember when you had this, right? You remember when you had that house on the beach and your Rolls-Royce, and then one day some rich guy came over and stole it all from you? You remember that? You remember that? So you want to vote for Obama and the Democrats to get your house back and your Rolls-Royce \u2019cause you remember when Koch brothers came and took it from you. If it wasn\u2019t the Koch brothers, it was Mitt Romney.<\/line><\/p>\n

“And when Romney came to take your house, he had his dog on the top of his station wagon to boot. Really a mean guy.” So the Democrats tell all the poor people and all of the middle class that they\u2019re only where they are \u2019cause the rich have cheated them, exploited them, or stolen all their money. The way they\u2019re gonna make it equal is to take from those people who have just won life\u2019s lottery, the premise being that the poor and the rich and the middle class are gonna get the money. <\/p>\n

That never happens, yet the poor seem to support this class envy. How do they…? Why? I\u2019ll tell you why. Because it\u2019s very hideous. What the Democrats have done is tell the poor and the middle class that the Democrats are looking out for \u2019em. Democrats are gonna get even with those rich people. They\u2019re gonna get there, and they\u2019re gonna have theirs taken away. They\u2019re gonna lose theirs, and you\u2019re supposed to feel good about that. <\/p>\n

You, who are poor or middle class, are supposed to feel happy, not because you have any more than you had. You\u2019re supposed to be happy because the rich that you hate have finally been screwed like you think you were screwed. Your life doesn\u2019t change one way for the better when the Democrats start punishing the rich. In fact, every time you hear the Democrats start talking about standing up for the little guy, look out because it\u2019s the little guy that gets creamed. <\/p>\n

When the Democrats start targeting the rich, they are also targeting the people that hire you, and if they take enough money away from them, you might lose your job — and you\u2019re supposed to be happy about that, too, because the rich guy just had his taken from him. This is not arguable. This is how the Democrats go about it. If you take a look at education, the kids that get good grades are said to humiliate those who don\u2019t. <\/p>\n

And what, then, do we do? Slow them down. We put obstacles in their way. We do not devise public education systems that are designed to deal with their superior learning ability. We retard it so that they don\u2019t learn any more, any faster than the lowest common denominator — and that really is the nub of it. The Democrats\u2019 equality and sameness is all going to be defined by the lowest common denominator.<\/p>\n

As long as there\u2019s anybody that\u2019s poor or middle class, there will not be satisfaction that there are rich people. Not \u2019til we get rid of all the rich can we say we have finished the job. So, here\u2019s Obama who is out in the White House today, and he\u2019s making a speech about jobs and employment, and he is describing White House efforts to help the long-term unemployed. Now, this is the president of the United States, and it goes by pretty quick. It\u2019s only 13 seconds, but this is what he said.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: Today I am directing every federal agency to make sure we are evaluating candidates on the level, without regard to their employment history, because every job applicant deserves a fair shot.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, I would imagine, to of those — well, I don\u2019t think there are many of you in this audience who fall for it, frankly, but to those of you who have thought, “Wow, that\u2019s really cool,” let me translate for you what he\u2019s really saying. We are going to make sure that the least qualified get hired just as much as the most qualified because they are the least qualified. That\u2019s a fair shot. So, once again Obama, by his own admission, lowering standards, punishing achievers, by moving them to the back because their achievement has given them an unfair advantage. <\/line><\/p>\n

So he today is directing every federal agency to make sure we evaluate candidates on the level without regard to their employment history. So if you are a rotten employee, if you don\u2019t show up on time, if you don\u2019t get any work done, that cannot be examined as whether or not it makes sense to hire you. What we\u2019re gonna do is make sure that we only hire people who have been out of work the longest, because that\u2019s fair, regardless their work history, regardless whether they\u2019re qualified, this is Obama making it equal. And of course you hear every job applicant deserves a fair shot. Well, what is a fair shot? And why does he get to determine what it is? <\/p>\n

What is a fair shot for a job applicant? An interview? Or getting the job? See, with Obama, the opportunity is not what\u2019s fair; it\u2019s the outcome. He\u2019s gonna dictate the outcome. And the premise is that the longest term unemployed person is the one who\u2019s been screwed the most. These evil employers have got something against these people that have been out of work the longest. And Obama\u2019s here to level that playing field. So if you\u2019re out of work longer than anybody else, that\u2019s all that matters. You are at the top of the hiring list. <\/p>\n

Now, how is this going to end up manifesting itself in reality? Nobody\u2019s gonna get hired, because businesses are not going to willingly hire unless they\u2019re paid under the table, subsidized somehow by Obama or the federal government. There are exceptions to everything, but most businesses want to hire the best they can get for what they have to offer. If all they\u2019ve got to offer is 15 an hour, they want the best they can get for it. They don\u2019t want the worst. So that\u2019s a classic example. <\/p>\n

See, I spend all this time telling you the theory, and here comes our beloved president demonstrating it for us. (imitating Obama) “Today I\u2019m directing every federal agency –” remember, you didn\u2019t build that. You rich people didn\u2019t do anything. You just sat there and took advantage of all the hard work of everybody else and then you screw \u2019em, shaft \u2019em, don\u2019t hire \u2019em, don\u2019t give \u2019em raises, don\u2019t give them health insurance, just exploit them. You\u2019re just mean SOBs. You didn\u2019t build that. You didn\u2019t make your success happen. We did that for you. And now you\u2019re gonna pay.<\/line><\/p>\n

So he says, “I\u2019m directing every federal agency to make sure we are evaluating candidates on the level, without regard to their employment history.” What if they\u2019re fired because they\u2019re drunk? What if they\u2019re fired because they were having affairs with the boss\u2019s secretary? Doesn\u2019t matter, can\u2019t look at that, can\u2019t look at that. That\u2019s not fair. ‘Cause the people that didn\u2019t get drunk on the job, and the people that didn\u2019t have sex with the boss\u2019s secretary have an unfair advantage. And we can\u2019t have that. So we take away the unfair advantage and the lowest common denominator. <\/p>\n

Now, here\u2019s a story. It\u2019s the Washington Times<\/a>: “NYC School Cuts Popular Gifted Program Over Lack of Diversity — A popular gifted-student program at a New York City –” read “liberal Democrat” “– elementary school is getting the ax –” A gifted student, advanced student, advanced learning, elementary school is getting the ax. The whole school, “– after officials decided it lacked diversity.” Meaning, there were too many white people in it. <\/p>\n

“PS 139 Principal Mary McDonald told parents in a letter Jan. 24 that Students of Academic Rigor, or SOAR, would no longer accept applications for incoming kindergartners, the New York Daily Newsreported. ‘Our Kindergarten classes will be heterogeneously grouped to reflect the diversity of our student body and the community we live in,\u2019 Miss McDonald said in the letter posted on Flickr.com. At least one parent described SOAR as largely white, while others disagreed, the report said. One mother conceded the program did have a lot of white students, but worried gifted students now won\u00c2\u2019t be challenged enough. ‘Where are they going to put the higher-level students? Sometimes, there are different levels, and teachers can\u00c2\u2019t handle all the levels in one class,'” said one mother.<\/p>\n

Oh, yes, they can. They just drive all the higher level students down. This is what they do. It is the core of the public education system. It\u2019s called common core. No one can excel. It isn\u2019t fair. This is precisely what I\u2019m talking about. So the entire notion of advancement, being able to advance rapidly, we\u2019re gonna penalize those people \u2019cause they\u2019re the wrong skin color. There isn\u2019t enough diversity in the whole school.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: This is Jan in Northfield, Minnesota. Hi, Jan. Glad you waited. Great to have you here.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush. Thank you.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You bet.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I want to spend one second assuring you that you already have had profound influence on America\u2019s youth. My granddaughter, Taylor, is 18 years old, she grew up listening to you with her great-grandparents, Barbara and Wayne, and she is a very vocal proponent of freedom, and she courageously defends freedom in her public school classroom. I\u2019m just so proud of her —<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: Let me tell you something. That is great, because, you know, a lot of people won\u2019t go near the subject. They think it\u2019s, “Oh, come on, we\u2019re not having our freedom threatened.” They think it\u2019s almost, you know, unhip to talk about freedom. I\u2019m glad that she\u2019s got the courage to talk about it.<\/p>\n

CALLER: She\u2019s a gutsy girl.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Sounds like it.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah. Rush, I\u2019m calling about income equality, and you pretty much covered the entire subject already. I think that the term income equality\u2019s been tossed around an awful lot in the last couple weeks, but there\u2019s no definition that\u2019s been offered, and President Obama has engineered an inference among all of us that everybody\u2019s gonna be better off —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, what can it be? If somebody asked you, somebody said, “Jan, what\u2019s income inequality,” what would you say?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, I thought about it, and I would say income equality among human beings, income equality is the equivalent of living as domesticated herd animals with the government acting in the activity of animal husbandry.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s how you would define income inequality?<\/p>\n

CALLER: That\u2019s how I would define income equality.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Equality. Oh, you\u2019re defining income equality. Ohhh. I thought your question was how do you define income inequality. It\u2019s very simple. Somebody makes more money than you do. It\u2019s not fair. It\u2019s unequal.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, yeah.<\/p>\n

RUSH: And that\u2019s what Obama means. Obama is playing to the lowest common denominator of everybody, and he is telling them that if anybody\u2019s got more money than you do, it\u2019s not fair and it\u2019s unjustified and somehow you have been ripped off or screwed, and that is his message.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Let me give you a real income inequality definition, what it really is. Real income inequality is what we used to call striving and working hard to get ahead. Striving, educating ourselves, getting up and going to work, preparing, using our ambition, and, in that process, some people earned more and earned it sooner than others. <\/p>\n

Most of my life, everybody made more money than I did at the places I worked. In fact, when I\u2019ve been an employee, I have never been anywhere close to being the highest paid person there, never. I was working hard. I was working hard. I was doing things I didn\u2019t want to do, that I thought I should do. I was getting up every day, going to work, did not phone in sick. Striving. Trying to get ahead, you know, doing what Obama says, working hard and applying myself and trying to get ahead. There was always somebody, there were always a lot of people that earned more than I did. <\/p>\n

Now, one thing, I never, ever thought the federal government had anything to do with it. Never. Now, I might have thought the places I worked were full of it, and I might have thought I\u2019m never really gonna get ahead here. I\u2019ve gotta do something else. Or I may have thought the person they\u2019re paying is not worth it. This guy\u2019s got \u2019em snowed. That\u2019s common, ordinary, everyday, welcome to the market kind of stuff. It\u2019s human nature stuff. <\/p>\n

There were always people earning more than I did. It\u2019s called income inequality. And there are probably earning less than I did at a lot of these places, too. In fact, I know there were. It just depended on how hard people wanted to work. It depended how good they were, by the way, at what they were doing. Some people were doing things they had no business doing, they just needed a job, they were surviving. Some people were doing what they were doing because it was their career, their life\u2019s love. Others were just trying to earn some money \u2019cause they couldn\u2019t live otherwise, but nobody was ever the same. <\/p>\n

I never once thought, why doesn\u2019t Reagan do something about this, or Jimmy Carter, or whoever the presidents were when I was an adult. Never, ever thought about that, and had one of \u2019em started talking about it, my antenna would have gone up, and I would have said, “What in the world is this about?” \u2019cause they don\u2019t know. It\u2019s not their business. It\u2019s not the role of federal government. It\u2019s not his job, the president\u2019s, to pick winners and losers, nor to pass judgment on anybody. Get the hell outta here. You know, worry about the Soviet Union. Federal Reserve. Whatever. Leave me alone. And I didn\u2019t know anybody, by the way, who thought the government ought to fix this. <\/line><\/p>\n

Now, check it. How many people do you know who think, “Clearly it\u2019s the role of the federal government, Mr. Limbaugh, to deal with income inequality and make sure these evil employers are fair and do it the right way.” And this is just a testament to the success that they\u2019ve had over the years. If you really want to end income inequality, I\u2019ve got the way to fix it. People who don\u2019t work shouldn\u2019t get any income. “How dare he be so mean? Listen him, see, that\u2019s why people hate him, \u2019cause he doesn\u2019t have any compassion for people. Did you hear what he said? Did you hear what Limbaugh said? Limbaugh said, if you don\u2019t work, you shouldn\u2019t have an income. If you don\u2019t work, you shouldn\u2019t get paid.” <\/p>\n

That\u2019s right. And there will be people outraged that I said that. It might even make a headline at certain leftist blogs today. Fix income inequality, people who don\u2019t work shouldn\u2019t have any income. But there\u2019s another side of that. I remember back in the nineties, homelessness would come up and I would say, “You know, there\u2019s a fix for this.” <\/p>\n

“Yeah, what is it?” <\/p>\n

“Well, maybe they should think about getting a job.” <\/p>\n

“Oh, easy for you to say. Oh, that\u2019s really gonna help. Oh, you really got a big heart. Oh, is that your solution, have \u2019em get a job? Man. Man. Look at you. No wonder.” <\/p>\n

And that was the reaction. It was one of the most mean things you could say about a homeless person, they should get a job. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
