Bill Gates has billions. Do you think he works a billion times harder than the guy who takes the trash away? Has Donald Trump worked a billion times harder than the concrete workers who construct his absurd buildings? Did Mitt Romney work a billion times harder than a man digging holes in the road under a burning sun or freezing rain to repair electricity cables?

Here is another thing. The multi-millionaires I know and I have worked with, are usually always working. My x-boss, actually works 7 days a weak. He starts work at 5am in the morning comes meet me at 12 midnight for meetings. Reason for this is also he runs multiple businesses. 5am due to doing business that involves a country at a different time zone. His wife told me, he barely gets any sleep. Working for him means nobody stops too. I could be in Australia for Holiday and he'll call me to get work done. He doesn't rest. We don't rest.

But I know construction workers seldom work past 8 hours a day. And they do have their rest days.

Who worked harder? I don't know. If you think physical work is harder than I guess athletes work harder too.

Do away with the concept of money as sacred, and use money for the purpose it was originally created - to allow people to share labor do different tasks (without money we'd all be farmers/gathers).

One can always move to live with the indigenous people of Brazil who are living independently away from modern world from society, free from the use of currency. If that is your utopia.

There is no way, you can have modern comforts you enjoy today without paying for the people to do the jobs they do today to create the modern comforts.


And there is the dishonesty, again.

It is you who wishes to do away with the basic tenets of collectivism which have allowed society to flourish. It is you who wants to deny people basic rights due to lack of money, disenfranchising them and undermining the whole point of society. It is you who wants to subject people to a "survival of the fittest" philosophy, effectively denying society altogether while insisting other people who don't like it can, you know, go try survival of the fittest in the jungle.

I don't mind the greed. I just mind the lies.

You're so far out of synch with reality I'm starting to wonder if you've got an oculus rift glued to your face.

Let's look at this statement from your link.

And even stranger, it implies that money earned is a perfect indicator of a person's value to society -- if you're broke, it must mean you're a loser who contributes nothing to anyone's life.

The article itself is a lie.

Nobody has said that your value is less just because you don't earn alot of money. Guess what you are priceless.

What annoys me is when people who refuse to work as hard and take as much risks as the ones who do so, and succeeded, also expects those ones to share their wealth.

And then condemn them for refusing to do so, and also, try to claim that they had a luckier or more fortunate life, blah blah blah.

My mom didn't have a luckier or more fortunate life. She had the worst possible child labouring life for a child. She made good money in the end, because she swore to herself she never wanted to be poor like her parents. So she chose to do whatever it takes to make lots of money.

So, I'd say, the one spewing lies is you. That rich people are rich just because of what? Better privileged upbringing? Not by their own efforts to chase money? Those are lies.

Like you condemn people for chasing money. But to be rich is to chase money. If you don't chase money, then you choose helping others as a career, like a nurse, which is fine, which isn't gonna make you a millionaire, but nothing wrong with that, as money can't buy happiness and contentment, money can buy you physical comforts, that's all, until the nurse who personally CHOSE not to chase money condemn those who chase money, that they do not use their money to share with those who make less.

Now that is what is ridiculous! Because, as I said, end of the day, you WANT their money to help others. Why not chase the money yourself in the first place so you have your own money to give others who needs it? You CHOSE not to chase money. It's your choice. But don't make it look like those who did chase money, did it effortlessly and so they should give away all their hard earnings.

And I think the gist of what I am trying to say is. You don't have to chase money to be successful. Success is relative to each individual on what is meaningful to them in life. But people who chase money have to make sacrifices to get those money.

Same with people who don't chase money, usually sacrifice money for other things more meaningful to them.

But it's just irks me when people who didn't specifically make their life goal to chase money, suddenly feel entitled to other people's money, the specific ones who made their life goal to chase money, the ones who don't believe in chasing money, feels entitled to the money other people who chase money made. That is like, seriously WTF!

Selfishness has nothing to do with these parents going ahead with that pregnancy. Some people can cope with diversity and love and cherish another human being for their own unique qualities.

Perfect is subjective and so are expectations. Many people don't stop loving their child just because he's not going to grow up the same as us. I'm a person who would of happily gone ahead with the pregnancy and birth of a DS child and though I fully respect those who couldn't, we all have the right to choose.
