There are issues of private morality and issues of public morality. Traditionally the Right concerns itself more with private morality and the Left more with public morality. Economics is a moral issue. Equality is a moral issue. Justice is a moral issue. War is a moral issue.

The flaw in that argument is the suggestion that the rich work harder than the poor do. There is no reason in the world to assume that someone with a white-collar cushy job trading numbers on Wall Street is working harder than is a construction worker or waiter in a restaurant.

But the question is how many of them might have, if they had been given a proper education and the kind of opportunity that would allow them to actualize their full talents.
