But why don't you just ask him? Ask him if he would want all of his competitors to take extra good care of their employees like he did. Your example is in fact only another piece of evidence that individuals can and should make a difference to those around them, because widespread systemic rules are ineffective and counterproductive. |

it's always so easy for those who have not to demand those that have to just 'accept less'
to each according to his need from each according to his ability? If this was a prevalent practice, spexx, no one would bother going into business for themselves. I've never met anyone who is 'content' with their income. but don't take my word for it....let's poll the audience

so ....you mean like...if you are 60 yrs old, and have had a very successful business for the last 30 years....you have $100 mil in liquid assets, plus 4 or 5 homes, and your family is provided for for the next 4 or 5 generations even if they all just hang around by the pool? Then you should give your income away? to who? you?

Nobody sane would buy $5 peas, so the grocer can't do that.
What if the grocer sets the price of a can of peas to 30 cents, drastically undercutting the 50-70 cent grocers? Is this too patronizing? |

in the same vein, instead of judging clodfobble and lookout about not giving up what they have cheerfully, you could let someone who needs it more live in your nice house that's in one of the top 10 places in the country to live. and then say ...this is what i do. lead us by example since you have the answers. they seem to come to you so easily, after all. you speak to people like you're schooling them on how to be. and all the while, we all know you're a dork like the rest of us.
