Citizens do care about laws and I do believe racism was stopped out of their own hearts but leader's are only there to reflect that ... The only one naive here is you thinking that citizens need not make an effort to follow the law. Criminals won't follow laws but a law abiding citizen will ... The police simply isn't everywhere so it is unrealistic to enforce the law at a large scale ... Then a bad CEO will also get dismissed, plain and simple. You can have a bad CEO and everyone else be good and the company will still float. The same is simply not true for the reverse for big companies when a CEOs contrbutions are tiny ... Most companies do take self-responsibility to adhere to the law, expectations, and employee payment plans. It's the individuals that need to follow on their own responsibility. Do they never have to be held accountable for their own actions ? It's not just taking care of yourself in this context. If the said individual is a citizen it is their job to follow the law. If the said individual chooses to not complete secondary education then they must deal with lower wages in the general case. Every individual must deal with the consequences for every choice they make in life ... If someone dodges tax illegally then it is their own shame for robbing others of these services ... These past rebuttals only keep showing why an individual must take actions on their own instead of constantly relying on the welfare of others and in general show why more capitalism is better than socialism ... Paradise is only for the privileged who has earned it or inherited it, simple as that ... |
Now you're flat out making things up, citizens not required to follow the law? Sorry but that part alone says you're out of your depth on this one, go ahead go outside right now and refuse to follow the law than argue with this logic in court saying you don't trust Obama, they'll think you're mad. Laws are mandatory.
You're naive this post highlights it on every level, from your views on the law to your knowledge on taxes, people will never stop doing an activity even if it's against the rules unless it's enforced. This is highlighted in the civil rights movement, when Lincoln abolished slavery and so on, people only abide by the law because it is enforced and the are punishments for breaking them, when given the opportunity people will exploit something as seen in Greece with taxes or even in London when the riots broke out.
You're arguing self responsibility in regards to taxes yet the companies you're defending are flat out doing what you're condemning the Greek people for doing, the's no two ways about this you're making one rule for one and another rule for the other, it's a complete contradiction. Self responsibility is looking after one's self and managing their own situation, the's no other context to it, it's one of the reasons the people evading tax in the first place were doing it to look after number 1, this term literally has no direct link to your argument nor does it back it.
