Motivation and Greed, Classism and Perks- Rant #2
*** begin quote ***
The concept that you should be able to keep 100% of your income is a fine one. It would not work because at the end of the day we need some level of government (how much can be debated hotly) and that costs money.

I was with you up to that point.
I’m not so sure that is self-evident.
True, with only a few exceptions, we’ve always had “government”. We’ve also had social diseases too. That doesn’t mean we NECESSARILY have to have them.
Government IMHO is the meme that kills. It gets out of control so EASILY and QUICKLY. Maybe we could do without it.
Maybe, just maybe, we could buy insurance. And, insurance companies would buy protection for us.
Government is the only entity that can force us to buy products and services that we don’t want, can’t use, and at a price we can’t afford.
SOOooo, maybe we can do without it.
It’s interesting that someone will spend millions to get a job that pays thousands. That’s the tip off that there is something very wrong with the whole proposition of government.
imho.
