BRZEZINSKI: The United States is becoming, rapidly, one of the most socially unjust societies in the world -- and that is raising basic questions about the relevance of the West to a world that is new universally awakened, staring, restless, conflicted. Social disparities between the rich and the poor in the United States are now the most severe in the world. There is a measure called "the Gini coefficient" that measures social inequality. In the United States, it's at the top of the list.
RUSH: The what? The Gini coefficient? (impression) "In the United States, it's now the top of the list." I feel like I'm listening to a Bond villain here.
But listen to what Brzezinski is saying. "The US is becoming..one of the most socially unjust societies in the world."
And why are we just now becoming so socially unjust? Well, because as Rush has always said, that's what happens when Liberals are in power. Poor people don't become well-off in the US of today because they've been taught to depend on the government for everything. There is no more melting pot in the US...minorities go into their own little enclaves where they speak their own language (whether ebonics or Spanish or what have you) and never come out. And since if you only speak ebonics or Spanish in a country that requires you to speak English to get ahead, to know math, to be conversant with good manners...well, quite a lot of people are falling by the wayside.
And it's the government's policies that are to blame for that. People are people. Give any segment of people - of any race - a free ride - and it's only human nature that they won't want to get off the gravy train and feel very put upon if someone attempts to force them to do so.
