     However, it is also slavery for a person to put forth more effort than anyone else at their place of work and never get ahead.  For example, the slaves under the planation owners in the 19th century and slave wage earners today.  And it's no more right for them to do all of the work at a place of business and receive very little compensation (wages that don't really pay for their necesseties or enough for them to be able to better their lot in this life.  Company healthcare that doesn't really cover anything at all that could be considered serious) for their efforts than was the backbreaking labor of African American slaves in the nineteenth century.

No, that's just someone thinking they should be worth more, when they have done nothing to be worth more.

Slavery is when you provide effort against your will. You don't have to work for that company. Hell, in todays world, you don't have to work at all.

You can sustain life solely off the efforts of others, who by law, have to provide you that effort. Who does that make the salve?

 

     Yeah, and who are you to decide whom is worth more?  All, I see when I look at your posts is conservative here and conservative there and a bit of "I'm king of the world."

     This country is very much still resting upon the principles that everyone is created equal and deserves equal.  And, if you're not down with that, then go live in some fascist nation that really does believe in the ideals of mafoo.

 

 

It's not for me to decide anything. It's for the free market to decide. In fact, of all the people on this site, I am the one who most wants people to stop decided what anyone is worth, or what you can control about people.

I am not a conservative, I am a libertarian. We argue about money, because those are the rights you want to take from someone.

I am for legalizing drugs, against aborting laws, pro gay rights, for the separation of church and state.

Conservatives want to take your personal freedoms, and give you your financial freedoms, Liberals want to take your financial freedoms, and give you your personal freedoms.

I say they are all your freedoms, and no one has the right to take any of them. You just never see me fighting for your personal freedoms, because I don’t have to. There are 100 other people here willing to fight those fights.


       Do you believe that if a person is poor and manages to find a gun, then they should be able to knock over their nearest corner market if they need money and that protection of the store and its goods should depend upon the store owner and that if a person is successful in knocking it over, then they have the right to whatever is inside or do you believe in the police?

     Because really the only way some people could boost their lot in life would be to do something that would be considered criminal and if you really believe people need to put out more effort, then knocking over a store for the money inside should fall into the category of expending effort to accomplish something.
