On wealth creation and guilt tripping

Via Instapundit, we get the usual talk about wealth creation.  I agree with it, but somehow I think the entire thing is missing the point.  Of course liberals understand wealth creation.  It's almost the same mindset that liberals display towards conservatives.  Its an arrogance phenomenon.  Liberals are smarter than that.  They really don't need this rather obvious piece of common sense.  By constantly pounding on the obvious, I think the point is being lost.

I see liberalism as a type of emotional manipulation.  It is designed to get something out of people that can't be gotten otherwise.  Those who practice it are well versed in how to get stuff out of people.  

Giving lectures on wealth creation doesn't work on these people because they already know all that.  What is needed instead is how to say no to a guilt tripper.
