Warren Buffett: Stop Coddling the Super-Rich!

I too would consider the draft to be a form of slavery. However, it may be required to defend the "rights" we hold so dear.
Trouble is that for a right to exist objectively as Rev would have us believe, that right must exist independently of any state, legislation, etc. If rights require force in order to retain their potency, I would submit that they are actually privileges of those with the power to enforce them.

The way we do this is with laws laid down to govern society. These laws represent a compromise; a forfeiture of the privilege to do what we please when we please in order to enjoy some other benefit. In our case, a safe and secure homeland among other things.
We rely on the use of force to enforce our rights. In most cases, it is legal force although our past indicates violence has been used numerous times.
 
Except Bush's 15% tax rates rewarded those who did nothing but were born far ahead in life.

It's absurd to think that the mega wealthy who derive the majority of income from their massive portfolios have lower average income tax rates than a lot of the working middle-to-upper class.
 
since at this current time you are not required by law to have health insurance, it doesn't matter what private companies do that you VOLUNTARILY pay for and agree to their rules and regulations.
 
Tried to before. It came down to them finally being cornered into saying that they agreed to slavery as long as they got their "right".

If your "right" requires someone to work to supply that "right", and those people decide NOT to work anymore, then it was OK by them for government to use force to make someone else labor away to keep providing that right.
 
no one glorifies the shit he says when it doesn't work out, like the fact he keeps saying over and over and over the housing market will soon go back up and recover

not likely pal
