The barbaric savage you actually are

Open Letter to Tax-the-Rich, Wealth Re-distributing, Liberal/Regressives



Dear 21st Century Liberal/Regressive: Your "tax the rich" idea and the idea of redistributing wealth are so intellectually brilliant you can actually boil them down to a single word without losing any of their essence.The word is: "Gimme."
You want it, you think you need it, there it is in someone else's possession, so just take it. Just "gimme." Your lack of it plus your desire to remedy that lack, automatically give you a moral right to seize it from me by force. I have 5 potatoes, you have one, so just grab a couple of mine. Wonderful moral idea. An absolutely brilliant and creative solution to not having something you want. You differ with the owner of the potatoes on how they're being used, so . . . the mere fact of your different opinion gives you the right to enforce it over anyone else's opinion, especially the owner's. Logic this brilliant is worthy of an Einstein. No wonder you have just 1 potato. Only a bona fide moron could call a philosophy that belongs in the prehistoric jungle, and which comes straight from the jungle, progressive."

Your wish to take what I have is--by your lights--a moral virtue trumping the fact that I earned or created it. Your wishes give you a valid claim to my possessions. But by virtue of my having created or earned or worked for them, I am denied any claim on at all on what you want to take from me.. All my possessions are yours by right because you wish them to be, you can just take whatever you decide you want, and I have no right to a say in the matter--because I'm the one who earned them. What a wonderful, magical world you must live in. All you have to do is wish, and--Presto!--there will ALWAYS be someone around to take it from. (Stick around, Mr Regressive. And look around. Your "ALWAYS" assumption is beginning to come to an end. It better--or civilization will.) You must be very perceptive to see the morality in your scheme. As you may have noticed, I'm having a bit of a tough time with that. Given your self-proclaimed kindness and generosity, maybe one day you'll be kind enough to teach me the difference between you and a thief. Or maybe you should try to get a law passed forcing someone to pay someone else to teach me that. (See? I'm learning already!) What brains you liberal/regressives must have to think up such clever ideas all by yourselves, with only some drivel (from an undoubtedly mentally stable Jewish anti-semite named Karl.Marx) to clue you in. Hard to imagine all the other hilarious ideas you'd come up with if you had ALL the Marx Brothers to memorize excerpts from. See anything you need anywhere in someone's hands or garage or pocket? Take it! What an admirable moral system must underlie that idea. It's so complex and brilliant, maybe we should start interviewing the many thousands of "hands on" experienced experts who have lived by your morality and now occupy the prison system. How clever to just legalize a crime, the crime of theft, which all progressives--I mean regressives -- clearly respect as the lovable and moral and endearing trait of a wise and admirable and superior human being like their very barbaric selves. Hey, don't you guys also think people have a right to a lifetime of comfort and care? Great!!. Why don't we' set up a nice clean prison cell for you, too? That was a joke. I know you don't REALLY want to spend your life in a cell. So I understand--FULLY--why you advocate LEGALIZING the criminal proposals that suit your particular fancy.. When an animal wants something, it takes it. When a tiger is hungry, if he sees a thriving litter of pudgy little squirrel pups he eats them alive. If he sees a lion cub eating the juicy parts of a recent kill, he takes it from the cub. It's called the law of the jungle. A lone Tarzan in the jungle would have to live by that law too. IT IS IN ORDER TO BANISH THAT LAW FROM HIS LIFE THAT MAN CREATED CIVILIZATION.. Somewhere along the line, some of us chose NOT to live in the jungle. We discovered that are MEN. We now live together in man-made, man-created environments, like "cities" and such.. And these places are NOT just collections of bricks and wood and stone, which is all your strictly materialistic mentality can see. They are the result of ideas, of laws, of intense and brilliant thought by great intellects, and of the resulting moral principles which men agree they MUST live by in order to graduate FROM the jungle to the benefits of civilization, and in order to realize their highest potential as human beings in peace, without the threat of being eaten alive by a wild animal or otherwise destroyed by some inhuman liberal/regressive jungle beast like you. We acknowledge the rights of all men and we do the uniquely MAN thing, we live according to our IDEAS of what is right and wrong for ALL of us as human beings. We RESPECT each other's existence and rights. We develop detailed, rigorous thinking into documents like a Constitution. We don't live by "take, and ye shall receive." We don't live by the law of the jungle. We chose to rise above that, we escaped from it, because . . . we are HUMAN beings. And the last thing we need is to drag back into our magnificent creation -- civilization -- the very thing we sought to banish when we created it: being subjected to the jungle's moral code of "Gimme," the code embraced by the modern-day liberal/regressive barbarians. If you don't like our system, go back to the jungle where your morality will fit right in. Then you can relax and be comfy in your own kind of world. You won't be "a stranger and afraid in a world you never made," or be constantly reminded of your inferior animalistic nature and mental deficiencies by all those HUMANS around you who know how to deal with reality better than a pathetic animal like you does. Back there in the jungle with the animals is your true home, where you won't have to try so hard to convince yourself of your inherent superiority, because you probably will in fact be a wee bit more intelligent than most of the creatures around you. Bon Voyage! A newborn human infant operates on the law of the jungle too. When he sees what he wants, he reaches for it and if nothing interferes to stop him he takes it. Just like an animal. Just like a liberal/regressive. He is not yet a full human being, just like a liberal/regressive. He still has all his non-human animal attributes, but has yet to develop his uniquely HUMAN ANIMAL behaviors, knowledge, and ideas. Just like a liberal/regressive. He has yet to develop his human MIND. Indeed, just like a liberal/regressive, an infant's mind hasn't yet progressed to the fully HUMAN level. But someday it will, -- assuming he doesn't have liberal/regressive parents. Human parents teach their animal-like infants how to grow into full human beings. Liberal/regressives want to teach full grown human beings how to turn themselves back into infants or animals. (CORRECTION: They want to FORCE full grown human beings to turn themselves back into jungle beasts -- by perverting the laws of civilization). Except for the issue of not having a mind, this is probably the most fundamental difference distinguishing a liberal/regressive from a human being. What HUMAN parents teach an infant, is how much better it is FOR HIM, HIMSELF and for EVERYONE around him who are his potential friends and assets to his own life, if he can develop the ability to see beyond the range of the immediate "now" moment in which animals and liberal/regressives perpetually live, and look into the future, long range, and THINK, and accumulate knowledge and plan for perpetually improving his lot and the welfare of everyone in society simultaneously,rather than stagnating at the level of an animal who lives today in the same way and at the same level as he did 10,000 years ago -- and who will remain in that same moment eternally. WE are the ones who teach our infants how to PROGRESS steadily by understanding the relationship of the present to the future, and that it is often in a HUMAN being's own best interest to give up or "trade" a current need or want for much greater rewards tomorrow and next month and next year.We teach them why grown-ups don't WANT to throw temper-tantrums and resort to force when their "gimme NOW" demands are frustrated. And we teach them that to be able to live in a world of hope, ever increasing knowledge, ever-lengthening lifespan, ever-improving health, ever-expanding cultural and intellectual opportunities and ever improving conditions of every stripe, he must DEVELOP THE MATURITY OF AN ADULT and respect the full rights of others who share the same goals, he must regard them not as objects which may be holding something he wants now, but as equals to himself, with the same human rights, which he must respect if he expects them to respect his--by means of a moral code which would never work for animals, but which is the ONLY code that will work for a HUMAN BEING if he chooses to be a full human being, to actualize his potential, and to rise above the reflexive, instinctual "gimme NOW" level of a jungle beast or a newborn human infant or a liberal/regressive. It is PROFOUNDLY IRONIC that those who call themselves "progressive" advocate a MORAL philosophy that amounts to a monstrous REGRESSION, demanding that we return to the morality NOT of a human adolescent or even a human child, but to the morality and ethics of a beast in a pre-historic jungle. It is anti-human, it is anti-civilization, it is anti-HUMANE, it is anti-INTELLECT, it is anti-MIND it is anti-LIFE and it is anti-PEACEFUL HUMAN CIVILIZATION WITH MUTUAL RESPECT AMONGST ALL GENUINELY CIVILIZED INDIVIDUALS. It is ANTI-everyone who has chosen the UNIQUELY HUMAN laws of civilization over the law of the jungle. And need I add: it is ANTI-PROGRESS. It is in fact, a regression all the way back to the beginnings, the absolutely most extremely regressive idea anyone could possibly conceive. Back to the time BEFORE human beings had even arrived on this earth. Back to total chaos, and LITERAL "dog eat dog." That's the incredible irony of its advocates calling themselves "progressives." It would be hilarious if it weren't so stupid -- and so frightening that people with advanced college degrees can be so abjectly ignorant, and so incredibly STUPID. (Come to think of it, the stupidity part is actually very understandable. Isn't it obvious that abject stupidity is a PRE-REQUISITE? How could anyone even THINK of advocating seriously the savage ethics of the jungle as the moral ideal and practical base for human civilization, if they had even a modicum of intelligence?) C'mon, Mr. Liberal/Regressive, 'fess up.. You may not be a "noble savage" but you are a savage, and a pretty darned moronic one at that!! OK, down to brass tacks now: You, sir or madam, are an advocate against humanity, human intelligence, and an arch ENEMY of everything man has accomplished in his PROGRESSIVE rise above the law of the jungle. You are a throwback, not by a century or even a millennium, but by eons and ages. You see someone who has what you want, or what someone you like wants, and your moral idea for obtaining it -- MORAL, I re-emphasize -- is ... just seize it -- like an animal would or like a human infant would try to do. You want to re-introduce the law of the jungle back into civilization, which was created to escape that very law of the jungle. You want us to regress back to even further than the operating moral code of a human child. You want men to adopt the moral principles embodied in the behavior of newborn human infants and wild jungle beasts. You want to legalize, to incorporate into the law of our human civilization, provisions which will enable the moral philosophy of "gimme" to be imposed on us by force. And you expect to live as an EQUAL in our HUMAN civilization while demanding the right to behave like an animal toward the rest of us. I think that means you tend to be kinda impolite and inconsiderate, too. I've noticed that. But hang on, it does get worse: Pathetic moral coward that you also are, you want to use our legal system as the tool for implementing your barbarism, so OTHERS will be using THEIR fangs to do your dirty work for you, thereby enabling you to avoid seeing yourself as the barbaric savage you actually are.. You don't have the guts to reveal your savage, mindless self to yourself by just going out on your own to steal what you want to "redistribute" -- because you're too afraid of the physical consequences and the effects on your social status and fraudulent self-image, which you feel the need to preserve as a "civilized member of a moral elite" in order to camouflage your barbarian essence. You need to find a way to eat your cake and still have it. So, clinging like a desperate leech to your barbaric "Gimme NOW" law-of-the-jungle morality, you get a job as a college professor or community organizer instead, teaching that LEGALIZING theft is the enlightened way to go, and that somebody ELSE should do the implementing--while, of course, the expenses and prestige of your own comfy life are being ultimately supplied by your intended victims. Pretty shrewd, I have to give you that much And all the while you preach AS A REQUIREMENT OF AN "ENLIGHTENED" MORALITY, that the rest of us should sit still and smile, and acknowledge your superior moral virtue, while you bend the force of OUR legal system to the purpose of devouring us, along with the products OUR human effort has created. You want to open wide our doors to the jungle, and invite its prehistoric amoral law back in to destroy the civilization that we HUMAN BEINGS have created. You wish to seize what we have created, without offering anything in return. And you expect to be thanked and honored for your good deeds. This last, you feel, is something WE owe YOU for the privilege of becoming your victims. And you call this a MORAL code. And you call this "PROGRESSIVE." I call you a parasite. I call you a con-man. And I call you a thug. Do you really dare to think of yourself as human? Oh, excuse me, I guess you do. For a moment there I forgot how stupid you are.

Morry Markovitz -- Bio and Archives

Morry Markovitz is a retired scientist, economist, author and businessman who still actively trades in commodity futures markets. 

After completing his formal education in physics at MIT, he took a staff appointment at MIT’s Draper Lab, where the computerized guidance system for NASA’s Apollo Project was developed, and where the countless thousands of computerized flight simulations were carried out in order to perfect, in theory, every detail of the mission—which eventually worked near-perfectly in practice as a result. 

Morry later switched professions to economics, taking a position as commodity market analyst for a well-known Wall St. firm—from which he was soon recruited by Commodities Corp (CC) of Princeton, NJ, which became within a few years the acknowledged premiere commodity speculating firm in the world.  In the mid-1980s, after becoming Senior Vice President at CC, Morry left that firm. to form his own company on Wall St., Mercury Management Associates, Inc. where he wrote, edited, and published a highly respected and often quoted market letter and also managed private speculative accounts.  BARRON’S Magazine called Morry “the thinking man’s trader.”  In 1994, Morry broke the Hillary Clinton commodity trading scandal for USA Today.
