It's Jesus!!!... I knew he was a libertarian!!!

Anyone else think it hilarious when individuals come on to the internet, suddenly all high and mighty, to announce some cryptic message about their importance to whatever movement they abide to? When in real life they're probably just some average, less-than-important, american like the rest of us. But nevertheless I hope he's right!

For them to be able to allocate capitals while don't have to worry about making a living is a luxury.

It's a dream, not reality. We're not talking about the top 0.5%. I'm talking about the top 30% of wage earners.

Btw, people who invest but don't watch or choose their investments wisely, will not be capitalists for long.

maybe just spam, or could be a very powerful or famous person behind the curtains.

Maybe a crazy? Who knows? In any case, it is an interesting and fun post to read. I'll give the OP that much.

I believe that the strongest supporters of " work is a virtue " and " production for production's sake ", are tax collectors. They use our natural instincts and pride and ego against us to keep supporting what we despise.

I personally believe work is a virtue. It makes downtime that much more precious, and honestly, the only way people are able to stop working so early in their lives now, is due to the inflationary economy, future debt spending of government, and subsidizes on the backs of foreign workers.

Besides, work is why I get out of bed each day. When you like what you do, it doesn't feel like a chore.

I dunno. I thought it was the other way around. I rather thinks that government regulation put undue burden on wage earners. I wanna be the lazy capitalists socialists attack in their retheoric. In fact, I envy them.(Well not in a bad way) For them to be able to allocate capitals while don't have to worry about making a living is a luxury.

I don't want to work my butt off by neccesity. But I will surely work my butt off pursuing my dreams to the end of the earth.

I am saving my money hoping that someday my investment will make enough money on its own to generate it owns revenue so I can litterally sit on my butt on work on hobbys instead.(Without work, ironically, I am doomed to utter boredom and anger) But it seem unlikely because of government's inflationary policies because somebody, somewhere will have to pay for wasteful spending of the government.

maybe just spam, or could be a very powerful or famous person behind the curtains. Maybe its Obama telling us to work harder because he is going to cut middle class taxes, but he wants more money. A surplus is more dangerous than a deficit in government. But Ben Franklin had some good advice " one who thinks money is everything, is suspect for doing anything for it ".

Not necessarily. Success is not synonymous with state.

No. But success at, say, AIG, or British Petrolium, or Boeing, for example, almost certainly is.

Why? How? Examples?

hmmm, so this message is kinda nuts in some way, and it has been posted everywhere. Maybe this guy should just be banned for spamming, though it is strange and not entirely bogus spam.
