Democrats this cycle have made a big deal of saying the system is rigged. It’s insane and damaging, which is typical for progressives. But it’s also the core of the collectivist mindset.

To be fair, the system is rigged … just not in the way Democrats say it is.

President Barack Obama and Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., both from relatively modest means, now have fortunes not through creating businesses or jobs but by driving home this “rigged” idea. They claim people were able to take risks and build businesses solely because someone else paved the roads.

These self-righteous multi-millionaires discount the fact that those roads are paid for by everyone who uses them. They won’t acknowledge some use them to better the lives of themselves and fellow citizens, but others use them to go to the bar – and this is a reflection of choices they made, not some societal flaw.
