um...ok...so...all this discussion has raised my curiosity a bit. so, if anyone could clarify a few of these points, i'd be eternally greatful.
>Of course, helping the workers isn't your goal.
>In truth, you just want to see the wealthy suffer
>because they're wealthy...to destroy the good
>because it is good. Disgusting.
1) How do you know what that person's <whom you are referring to> motive is?
2) When did being wealthy become inherently "good"?
>I can't believe you people are essentially
>advocating stealing money from innocent people.
So is asking people to be courteous and nice to other people just as improper as paying taxes? I'm essentially advocating stealing time and brainspace from "innocent" people, which, as the maxim goes, is at least as valuable as cold hard cash.

Please, do not be so vehement about someone's faults and then commit them yourself. <I know, we're all fallible, but do try to keep it to a minimum.>
Hope ya'lls have a restful weekend.
