If I work and receive money for that work, it is merely compensation for the time I spent working.

That's not my point at all. My point is that by employing forcible wealth redistribution (because the only way wealth can be redistributed is by force) and "abolishing money," you'll do nothing more than make a lot of hard-working people lose interest in working at all." .....

We can use our free will to do evil and no matter how well loved people are, some people will still choose evil. Look at how Adam and Eve had it all and blew it. Look at how some of these spoiled rich brats never have to work for anything and murder their families out of greed. Everyone has the ability to choose correctly until they die, so absolutely pray for them, but setting up civilization under the assumption that everyone WILL always choose right is naive and dangerous. Setting it up so people will succeed or fail on their merits is better, but even that will fail if a Judeo-Christian belief system doesn't guide the populace. People have an intrinsic value because are made in the image and likeness of God, not because they are potential earners.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526768924178592295.post-8712906045359944962013-03-19T12:19:49.816-07:002013-03-19T12:19:49.816-07:00I work at a place where everyone makes the same am...I work at a place where everyone makes the same amount of money, regardless of the work done. Because we're funded by the county in a state with a billion plus dollar deficit, we haven't had raises in 5 years now. When someone screws up, the supervisors don't talk to the individual who made the mistake, they bring it up at the next staff meeting, where the person in error may or may not be present and using general terms like it's something that everyone is probably needing to improve on. I hate working there. I don't work nearly as hard as i did the first two years i was there because i got tired of feeling used. If you want a company that helps you feel self-actualized by never making you feel like you've done anything wrong, by all means, come work here. If you want to get paid what you're worth instead of the same as the lazy 20 year old who spent all shift texting, you may wish to look elsewhere.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526768924178592295.post-19323690870338335962013-03-19T11:15:09.120-07:002013-03-19T11:15:09.120-07:00To be fair, even that hippie at the end of the art...To be fair, even that hippie at the end of the article probably has a job selling organically manufactured patchouli or something.Jay from Phillynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526768924178592295.post-3575124863170517602013-03-19T09:18:03.396-07:002013-03-19T09:18:03.396-07:00This reads like it was written by a fourteen year ...This reads like it was written by a fourteen year old who clearly was neither homeschooled nor raised among rational beings.<br /><br />It reads like it was written by a character in an Ayn Rand novel.....and not one of the good guys.<br /><br />A.McSp<br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526768924178592295.post-7757342028450022832013-03-19T09:12:48.183-07:002013-03-19T09:12:48.183-07:00I don't think that's exactly where his hea...I don't think that's exactly where his head is!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526768924178592295.post-64606986732081621442013-03-19T08:47:12.462-07:002013-03-19T08:47:12.462-07:00I just read this quote out loud to my brother who ...I just read this quote out loud to my brother who is not given to bad language.

The failure of a collective society was proven there at first, and the roots of America's greatness were sown in John Rolfe's return to free market economics: what you worked for was yours, and what you paid others in exchange for goods was your decision.<br />If Marx had only known, he could have just said to Engels, "Oh shut up Friedrich, that whole Proletariat thing is a stupid idea." And the world would have been spared some much pain and suffering.

In some respects we're doing that now, giving the "entitlements" to those who haven't worked and won't worked. I'm not speaking of the truly disabled, elderly, or very young, either.
