The New Culture War

Arthur Brooks writes about the "new culture war." It's capitalism vs. redistribution."

Money Q:

... the tea parties are not based on the cold wonkery of budget data. They are based on an "ethical populism." The protesters are homeowners who didn't walk away from their mortgages, small business owners who don't want corporate welfare and bankers who kept their heads during the frenzy and don't need bailouts. They were the people who were doing the important things right -- and who are now watching elected politicians reward those who did the important things wrong.

Brooks is persona non grata in progressive ranks because he wrote a book "Who Really Gives?" that proved conservatives donate more of their own time and money to charities than liberals, who are, of course, more generous with other people's money.
In this new culture war, whose side are you on?
