Neal Boortz Sayin It The Way It Is
["...]since when was it written into law that your earnings must "contribute to society as a whole"? Can you imagine what would happen to our economic system if every financial transaction was judged - or perhaps regulated - on whether or not it contributed to society as a whole? You do realize that this "society as a whole" noise is collectivist nonsense, don't you? I engage in an economic tranction - or "function" as Obama calls it, to get something that I want, not to contribute to society. The person on the other side of the transaction is getting something he wants as well. It's a trade ... a trade negotiated and transacted between two free individuals. Society plays no role here. Society isn't putting up any of the money, society isn't taking any of the risk. So long as I'm not harming someone else ... just leave me the hell alone. When I want to contribute to society as a whole I'll send some money to the Red Cross.[...]
Remember, "society" is no one in particular and everyone but you -- something only a leftist could rally around.
