After thinking about the above statement, the fundemental difference between my view of the world as compared to my soscially liberal freinds becomes clear.
Wealth can be defined in nature in different ways, for example in a pack of wolves - stronger, faster, smarter, more aggressives wolves (wealthier) rise to lead the pack. I see this as a fact of nature. I see this as social order. I do not see it as a problem. In fact I see it as effiecient. It is up to the stronger, faster, smarter, more aggressive to make sure the rest are taken care of. I think refusal to accept this order of nature leads to chaos and to the detriment of everyone.
So, you are correct in your observation. When you say there is no where to go with this way of thinking - it is also correct because it is like saying there needs to be a change in the way we look at gravity. There needs to be a reason to take us to a different level of thought. I have not seen one. If I have missed it, please let me know.
