Rep. Keith Ellison : Unrest comes from 'affluent' trying to keep control - Congressman Promotes Pre- Adam Smith View of Wealth Creation

The Hill reports:

Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) said Thursday that the riots and blight in West Baltimore are a result of "the affluent" using the justice system to keep "control" over the poor and working classes.

“Excessive police force and staggering unemployment work together because what we’ve done in the United States is that we’ve said that the affluent part of our society is going to demand more tax breaks, more wealth, more privilege, leaving less for the less fortunate,” he said during an interview on CNN’s “New Day.”

A seventeenth century view of wealth creation!
