Jambutty is fond of excoriating the rich. Not I. I love free market capitalism. It spells freedom to me. No, it's not a perfect system. However, it has provided a far better standard of living for people around the globe than the alternatives. I see nothing wrong with a person making money from their talent and hard work. I never look in other people's pockets. Let them make all the money they want......as long as they do so honestly.
As for government, it has involved itself in far too many things. At the national level, its main priority should be the common defense of the country. The guns and butter strategy never has worked well.
