Friends: 16 | Re: how about just a billion? More class envy by the tax and spend advocates no doubt... What concern is it of yours how much someone makes... so long as they pay their taxes, let them make what they will... there is no need to take whatever they make over YOUR perceived upper limit of what someone can have... As long as they make their coins honestly, no-one should remove what they can from the pockets of the "Billionaire or Millionaire" because they think it's too much money for them to have. |

Friends: 33 | Re: how about just a billion? ...starting to look like this thread might have started as a theoretical question about how much a person needs and is turning political. Inching towards getting moved. |

Hmmmm... curious... Is dissent about anything, political Bra... if you use a quote from a famous founding father as a basis for your contribution for debate in any topic, does that mean you have crossed a threshold that cannot be crossed in civil debate... and thus send the entire batch of contributors into another forum that most cannot enter without the risk of flames and arrows of true partisan discontent... I think the discussion of money and wealth is not just a political one Bra. I personally don't believe that this one is either...

 Tony gets to choose what's political and what's isn't based upon some unknown but highly variable criteria . . . or maybe it's just upon a whimsy?  Who gets to choose how much a person needs . . . ? Tom missed the part about voting but Ben didn't and Ben also got our form of government correct . . . When people realize they can vote themselves money that will herald the end of the republic.
