That is very true. I'm actually all for making money, and no I would never want a cap on how much someone could make, it's just like I feel a man really only needs so much money (maybe 5-10 mil to live the great life) and the rest should go to a good purpose somewhere in the world. It's unfortunate because I feel like half of the super rich don't care, and the half that do care give money to organizations that end up doing nothing with it, so they stop. Anyway now I'm ranting with no clear train of thoughts, so I will stop. The main point is that I mostly agree with you, haha.The Dudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10595792303765862994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1203082776419426855.post-62061296065997203282008-11-26T00:13:00.000-08:002008-11-26T00:13:00.000-08:00Thanks, Dude.

As an atheist, of course, I find religious groups can be weird but, generally speaking, they don't go so far as proclaiming themselves gods and stuff like the NewAge Left. And even Right-Wing religious folk don't like cultists. I know: I talk to them. <BR/><BR/>Sarah Palin's just popular, and - seriously - what's up with the hatred of people making money in this country? I really don't get that. I've lived in France and they've got no incentive to do shit. I've had money and, let me tell you, it's nice to have doors start to open for you when you get there. That's the point. And further, taxes kill initiative, period. They're only good for one thing: lowering. Taking my money without my permission - to "spread the wealth around" - is called "stealing". The outlook that capitalism has it wrong denies 250+ years of historic growth: we're defeating ourselves with a "socialist" outlook that puts us at war with ourselves. Don't forget the old adage that it only takes one motivated worker - operating at cross-purposes - to wreck an enterprise.<BR/><BR/>And I've just abandoned the Democratic Party, which was pretty traumatic, so excuse me if I'm not too hot on leaving the Republicans just yet. I mean, they just released a list of the 10 most violent cities in America and not one of them is Republican. Must be *something* going on with 'em.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for writing - and I'm on my way over: you know I love medical blogs.<BR/><BR/>And thanks for writing.The Crack Emceehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08366101526773588864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1203082776419426855.post-77920245387519619562008-11-25T19:05:00.000-08:002008-11-25T19:05:00.000-08:00I have been wanting to comment on your site and gi...I have been wanting to comment on your site and give you praise for a long time, sorry it has taken so long. I thoroughly enjoy your material, and even though I voted for Obama I consider myself a strong independent. I think that your ideas on cultism are completely correct, and Obama is indeed a great example of that. This election reminded of the south park episode where the characters must vote between a douche and a turd sandwich.<BR/><BR/>I am curious to see if you will admit that the current right-wing of our country has it's own cultish following. The religious freaks, sarah palin's, big money C.E.O.'s, etc. who buy into the idea that anything the government does to help the people through taxes is socialist. Come on. Really? Stop quoting me numbers, stop bullshitting me with your figures, and admit that the american people, left and right, would never allow such a thing to occur. <BR/><BR/>Instead I think we are making progress, but the ones who are doing it are the independent thinkers. Fuck associating with a party, anyone with a brain can see the inherent flaws in that. Why make parties in the first place, instead let's go to a system that requires each individual in government to take each issue separately, and consider them individually. Please check out my blog about going through medical school, and I will leave you with even though we have our differences, I admire and respect your writing and your forward thinking ideas. Let me know what you think.The Dudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10595792303765862994noreply@blogger.com
