Why would I want to make more money than I could spend in 3 lifetimes like some people do ??? There is plenty here for us all. No big deal, really.
Wow. Wom..... I never knew you were so clairvoyant. Neat.

You know what we pay our staff. You know the bonus we give. My whole business is about our people. Our people rock. They are the reason why we shattered our revenue goal this year. Lets just say they really enjoyed the Christmas party. So, you see I am more than willing to "share the wealth" as you seem to be getting at. But on my terms, not some loser politicans. See, capitalism rewards hard work. Welfare (taxes) rewards sloth.


You and i will never see eye to eye. But do not for a second ever assume i do not take care of the people who share my success.

Its the difference between belief in the success of the individual benefitting society (me) more than using class warfare (taxes. A position you seem to support) to take money i earned and give it to those who did not.

Do not take his to seem as i am cold or motivated merely by profit. Your next responce is a sophmoric example. Its the difference between giving a fish and teaching HOW to fish. Freedom does not mean " a chicken in every pot. ".
