Zbigniew Brzezinski's Enemies List

Pandering to give-me generation.

Social Justice: The former national security adviser wants to compile a list of the evil rich who don't spend their money as the left wants. It comes with the ultimate threat: We know where you live.

Dr. Zbigniew Brzezinski, national security adviser to America's worst ex-president, Jimmy Carter, has something for the angry mobs of Occupy Wall Street (OWS) to do once they're done trashing New York City's environment and demanding that those who, as Jefferson Starship sang, "built this city" pay off their student loans and otherwise support them.

They can make house calls on the rich.

On Monday, Brzezinski appeared on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" program, which his daughter Mika co-hosts with Joe Scarborough.

He was there to discuss his winning the 2011 Jury Du Prix Tocqueville prize, and his daughter noted that in his acceptance speech he made a plea for what the likes of Van Jones and the loony left call "social justice."

In that speech, Brzezinski spoke of "a country of socially ominous extremes between the few super-rich and the increasingly many who are deprived."

Never mind the super-rich are often people like the late Steve Jobs who deprived no one of anything when he dropped out of college to start Apple.

In the minds of some, wealth is a zero-sum game, never to be created but always to be distributed from those who worked very hard to those who work hardly at all. Even inherited wealth at some point in time had to be created. From each according to his ability, to each of the OWS crowd according to their whiny wants.

No, the sense of entitlement reigns supreme as we morph from the "me" generation to the "give me" generation. Brzezinski does distinguish between the good rich like Warren Buffett who, after making obscene amounts of money, now wants to tax the heck out of those who seek to mimic his success, and those "who, on the basis of speculation, literally make millions of dollars that would take a century or two for the average person ever to make."

You know, people like Warren Buffett.

We call these people investors or venture capitalists, people who take their money and bet on companies they think will succeed, reaping rewards if they do and accepting the losses if they don't.

They're also called risk-takers — sort of like President Obama, who bet on failed solar panel maker Solyndra, except he did it with other people's money.
