Hey, Occupy Wall Street: Wealth Isn't a Civil Right

There ain't no such thing as a free lunch. Everything demanded by the Occupy Wall Streeters — whether "free" health care, a "world-class education" or a "guaranteed living-wage income regardless of employment" status — costs money.

When a CEO makes a lot of money in the private sector, it is because his company — rightly or wrongly — values that CEO's services at that price. To say it is "not right" that a CEO makes (fill in the blank) times more than the janitor is to say it is not not right for the marketplace to set wages. If the marketplace ought not set wages, then who or what should?

Most people work for the private sector, which cannot exist without profit.
