Glenn Reynolds names his "comment of the day" [1]:

A reason for the “wealth or income gap”: Smart people keep on doing things that are smart and make them money while stupid people keep on doing things that are stupid and keep them from achieving.

People who get an education, stay off of drugs, apply themselves, and save and wisely invest their earnings do a lot better than people who drop out of school, become substance abusers, and buy fancy cars and houses that they can’t afford, only to lose them.

We don’t have an income gap. We have a stupid gap.

Reynolds' commentary consists of the single word "ouch".

I left the following comment on the taxprof link. It might not be approved and much more could be said about what Reynolds and other libertarians support; feel free to leave additional reasons why Reynolds is promoting bad, dangerous, anti-American policies in comments:

The comment from "Woody" gets a shout-out from Glenn Reynolds (pajamasmedia.com/instapundit/101928). Which isn't surprising because a) it's stupid, b) it's anti-American, c) it's bad policy, and d) it ignores the facts.

Not everyone is a genius, but a lot of geniuses or close are trying to take advantage of those who aren't. Those like Glenn Reynolds and "Woody" (who might in fact be Reynolds for all we know) would abandon them to their fate, letting smarter people take advantage of them. That's anti-American and bad policy.

And, a huge wealth gap isn't just bad policy, it's also dangerous, leading to social strife and perhaps worse.

Listening to the "Woody"/Glenn Reynolds types would put us even further down the road to Idiocracy.

ADDED: Reynolds' promotion of the comment also ignores the fact that the wealth gap has been growing. If that's because of stupidity, one wonders what suddenly changed in the past several years. Has the fluoride suddenly taken effect? Even massive immigration - something that libertarians like Reynolds support - can't account for all or even most of that. Instead, the problem is due to policies that shortsightedly allow those like George Soros, Wall Street, and the Koch family to enrich themselves at everyone else's expense and through oftentimes questionable means. Reynolds' response? Encouraging people to hold up "bunny ears" behind politicians' heads.
