The ability to create something new that people want is the most rare and most valuable skill. I’m not knocking hard work, but it doesn’t compare to the ability to innovate. Innovation takes a lot more than creativity. Millions of people are creative, but only a handful actually turn creativity into useful products and services. Labor is essential, but all of the labor in the world didn’t invent water wheels, the internal combustion engine, telecommunications, pharmaceuticals, or the iphone.
So what do liberals want to do? Equate digging a ditch to developing the iphone. Punish the creators, even the ones who do small things that nobody would hold up to the iphone.
It’s so illogical that it is impossible to believe that liberalism has anything whatsoever to do with improving life. It’s all about something else. We know what it’s about. Power, personal power.
Steve jobs was a hisotoric genius, at the level of Edison and Gutenberg. History will view him as the symbol of the creators who Obama tried desperately to destroy.
