The Greedy Needy or the Needy Greedy?

From Dave Dubya at Freedom Rants:

We’re seeing a lot of Thomas Sowell’s “Whine of the Wealthy” thrown in our faces, “I have never understood why it is “greed” to want to keep the money you have earned but not greed to want to take somebody else’s money.”

Who has made these claims? No one was quoted or cited supporting these assertions. It’s a straw man, of course, a favorite fantasy adversary of the far Right. That fact doesn’t matter, does it? It is framed to appeal to emotion, rather than reason. Liberals want to take your hard-earned money and give it to the lazy undeserving poor.

Maybe Sowell and his parrots should first try to understand why they make such a statement.
