Extreme wealth, in and of itself, is not a character flaw. Many rich people see their lucky lives as a mandate to do good in the world.

Wealth becomes something else — soul-deadening, let’s say — when privilege blinds one to the daily struggles of everyone else.

In an interview this week with Fox News Channel host Steve Hilton, multimillionaire Ivanka Trump, daughter and counselor to President Donald Trump, weighed in on the issue of a guaranteed job for every American:

“I think this idea of a guaranteed minimum is not something most people want. They want the ability to be able to secure a job.They want the ability to live in a country where’s there’s the potential for upward mobility.”

She was referring to an ambitious proposal called the Green New Deal, written by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Sen. Ed Markey (D-MA). It would guarantee “a job with a family-sustaining wage, adequate family and medical leave, paid vacations, and retirement security to all people of the United States.”
