Wow. Very well said, and I couldn’t agree more.
God has richly blessed your search for wisdom.
I wonder if she's aware that that would probably affect all her co...workers??? and her bosses.
Not to mention that if everybody were limited to $75k the need or ability to afford college would virtually cease.
How many students would quit school if all they could make in a future job was $75k? I imagine law schools and med schools would instantly close up. Imagine a Dr. going to school for 8-10 years after high school, and dropping $250k-$500k for school and then being told he can only make $75k. A Dr might be in surgery 12-16 hours, with the weight of the world on his shoulders, as one slip can damage a person for life, and for this he's "rewarded" with the pay equivilant of middle management somewhere.
Like the saying goes:
Those who can, do; those who can't, teach
This woman has no useful purpose in life. She has no worthwhile abilities with no useful experience. She has nothing to offer society, and begrudges those who do, the means in which to live by their own means. But feels qualified, through no experience, to tell others how they should must live. (Much like Obama)
Imagine a farmer being told he can only make $75k in a year. What incentive would there be, to work past midnight to harvest crops, when your limit has been met? Why farm 1-2,000 acres, when a few hundred would do? How would a farmer buy a $160,000 tractor or $250,000 combine, if all he were allowed to make was $75k. Friends of mine just bought a 200 acre farm. It cost just over $1 mil.
Who would buy a McDonalds (or a lot of other businesses) if all they could make was $75k.
Maybe she has a nice restaurant or store she really likes. That would probably go out of business, because the disposable income of the majority of the people who frequent it would disappear.
Why would Joe The Carpenter hire any more help? The moment he made $75k there would be no need to do any more work. How many carpenters would not have work, because there would not be enough people with extra cash to afford to have things done?
How many small businesses would shrink over night, simply because the additional labor would bring in additional income over $75k? Why ever expand a business? Why ever invest?
Judge Napolitano has her on his show often, I feel sorry for her every time she opens her mouth. She is in way over her head on his panels.
Kind of like painting over dirt.
Exactly...OUTSTANDING analogy...dirt (LOL!). Thanks for the ping/post.
Oh well...enough of my sermon :)
Never enough when your preaching like that, mountn man. OUTSTANDING post! Thanks a lot. Worth a BTTT!
There is the theory that evil movements are crippled or toppled by the ‘cutting off the head of the snake’.
Should it not be the policy of those defending there goods and properties to not seek redress or vengeance from the lackey, but from the “spiritual and political” progenitor of the policy the lackey fulfills?
‘cutting off the head of the snake’
I like that. That is the way it should be.
...scrolling back in my pings to BTTT your post #9 mountn man. Thanks again.
