In a truly free society, people should be free to choose where they want to work and what they want to do.. without being judged.

If Cantor chooses to pursue a lucrative career on Wall Street, I have no issues with it. It’s his business. I wish him luck. I have no issues with Wall Street. I have no issues with making money. I don’t expect Cantor to work at a gas station.

Sen. Phil Gramm went to work for a Wall Street firm after he left the Senate. I don’t recall any complaints about it.

You still don’t get it.

You shouldn’t talk down to people here as if you the only one that observes they are free to choose what they do in ‘the private sector’. People here know that and are smarter than you think.

What you are missing and where you are going offtrack is it thinking people are judging what someone has chosen to do in the private sector. They’d are not judging this.

What people are doing is CONFIRMING a prior judgment that was done at the polls. Cantor has already been judged. People had their suspicions about his motives. Now it is ‘confirmed’ that he was in it for himself. Now if you’ll believe people should not judge the motives of their elected reprentatives, then you’ve both a problem.

This is similar to a congregation that rids itself of a minister who is rumored to be homosexual. After the minister is put out, if said minister joins the LGBT Alliance and is seen with a homosexual partner, then it is ‘confirmed’ to the members of the congregation that there previous judgment was valid.
