Adam Smith on the Rich and Poor

This disposition to admire, and almost to worship, the rich and the powerful, and to despise, or, at least, to neglect persons of poor and mean condition…is…the great and most universal cause of the corruption of our moral sentiments.

Add Adam Smith to the list of people neocons use as a reason to be selfish, and who are actually a thousand times more balanced towards the left than they realize.
