| Mensagem: | Well, if all the chronically unemployed were not starving or shivering, that would be great; but the "ways" of which you speak are not comprehensive or reliable. Many rural areas of the country still have some abject poverty, some children are still malnourished. That this should exist in a country which also has people who consume at the highest levels of anyone in the world is certainly "mad". I don't believe that many of the "pimps" of whom you speak actually think they do things on their own. They now quite well that it requires many workers to support one great consumer; they simply don't care - quite the contrary, they think it is perfectly natural that they should be supreme. Another point: in my understanding of economic terms, "resources" means lands and raw materials that have not been changed from their natural state; and I agree that those things should be public domain, and if they are used for private gain then a proportional fee should be paid to the public. However, "wealth" is the produce of Labor x Resources; since every person has a perfect right to own their labor, and the results thereof, personal "wealth" cannot be considered as public domain. The problem is, you can't make one rule for "pimps", and another rule for ordinary people. Preventing give-away private access to public resources would even-handedly reduce these problems, particularily for the permenantly dis-enfranchised. |
