his summation of the core conservative tenet as "The rich don't have enough because the poor have too much" is timeless.

I have read a lot of JKK, and missed that line. He obviously wrote it as a joke. It is based on the concept that the economic pie is finite.

Even if true, his summation of the core conservative tenet as "The rich don't have enough because the poor have too much" is timeless. For my money, the written works of all economists should be filed under "occult".

First time I've ever seen that formulation. I think it would be more accurate that the proper formulation is something along the lines of "rising waters float all boats."
