Santorum said, “I’m not about equality of result when it comes to income inequality. There is income inequality in America. There always has been and, hopefully, and I do say that, there always will be.”
Unbelievable. Maybe not, but stunning all the same.
Unbelievable? Maybe. If you are in denial that statement is probably shocking to you. If you are not in denial then when you read that statement your response would have been something along the lines of: "And?"
I have found it to be the case that not a few people in America are under the impression that they are somehow owed equal outcomes. It comes as a shock to them that there is no such thing. The only thing one may have a right to is equal opportunity, but outcome? Nope.
Certainly this is not something you generally say to the public during a campaign, but that says more about the American public than it says about the candidate.
Certainly Blow is right in his concern about Detroit but that doesn't excuse him for painting Santorum's statement as out of line.
