Should musicians be on more than 30k a year

Oh wow...it was page after page of total nonsense. I want to see what that guy actually looks like. It has short man syndrome written all over it.
 
I love all these sweeping presumptions of yours. You're the only person who works hard. You're the only person with an active life. Hilarious.
 
Bull****. My family went from lower middle class to upper class, I went to a horrible school district and then to one of the top districts.... there were kiRAB in my old poorer school who went on to Ivy League and schools like USC, UCLA, Florida State, and Ohio State. Who you know? You're telling me they all know people in Harvard? And if they did, they'd be like yeah come on in to some punk kid just because a guy knows someone who works at Harvard? You are crazy.

You work hard in America in high school? You'll be able to get into Harvard, Georgetown, USC, whatever. You screw off in high school and good luck, but ain't no way I should be paying for your sorry ass when you can't afford to live. You had your chance, and you ****ed up. I was never the best student, but I'm 19 years old, not in college, and only have a high school diploma... I work construction and live on my own. I pay my bills, pay for everything, car, gas, cable, electricity, insurance.... no prob. At least I'm not mooching off the gov't and I'm saving this country money.
 
What about the idea of having your own ideas, being an individual, instead of being a follower like everybody in the collective?

Obviously, there is no right or wrong answer to this, but your beliefs. But at least on my side of the argument, you can choose whether you want to be a part of a collective or whether you want to be an individual. The way I see it, if I work for 500k a year (which I don't make), then I should have more of a right to decide where it goes than the government.

People can make their own charitible decisions, but if I don't want to be charitable then it's my decision. It's my money after all right, MY MAN! :usehead: This is what will weed out those greedy selfish bastarRAB and the truly good people, and if you're religious, God will reward those good people, and if you're not religious at least you have the satisfaction that you did something good on your own.

I would be more than happy to give to charity, as long as I have a say in what charity my money goes to. With the government, I wouldn't.

P.S. What's with the name calling lucifer sam? Get a life ya schmuck. :beer:
 
You can't cap peoples money like that. That's bull****. This is America. The land of opportunity, start capping people's money and Hollywood will die, the entertainment industry will die (again, the money goes back to jobs).
 
Why would you move to Europe for that when it's predominately capitalist?

You know I actually feel sorry for some of the American merabers of the boarRAB having the rest of the world think you're as un-educated & ill informed as this person seems to be.
 
I know that my Levi's are made in Mexico by looking at the label sewn into them. How can you know where this site was created?
 
You know what would be nice though? If musicians all got 30k to live off of. I could make do with 30k if all I had to do was make music.

Not saying it's practical, just saying it would be nice.
 
Good, well argued-reasoning there.:confused:

On topic, it just dosn't make sense that you'd cap anyone's wages at 30,000 quid when you bear in mind that within our economic system they earn X amount of money because enough people are happy to give them theirs. Bearing in mind the music industry is very much a for-profit system out of necessity at the level of recording and distribution, it makes no sense to take the capitalist element out and remove any incentive to promote one's work.

In short, OP is possibly the most implausible thing ever suggested.
