Sanctimony Schmanctimony

Michael Marone makes this pithy statement (among others) about some mythical progressive type he has in his brain. These are people he loathes not for their money, nor their leisure, but for their belief that one purpose of government is to provide for the common welfare:

Aware that they have done nothing to earn their money, they feel a certain sense of guilt.

Which in my brain calls up something I have long thought about certain people, wealthy, connected, likely never in this world to feel lack, who believe that government should leave all of us to fend for ourselves:

Unaware that they have done nothing to earn their money, they feel a certain sense of entitlement.
