No Ayn Rand shit here. 100% Rational Thought, brought to you by Observation and Deductive Reasoning.

I see where I was wrong though. I had no idea that greatness was a function of wealth. That might explain the prejudice of greatness I suppose. Privilege and all, ya know?

Okay, and who taught the teacher to teach?

And who taught the teacher's teacher to teach?

I think it's fair to say a lot of the good deeds we see in society do spread in a "pay it forward" kind of way from a single person. And that person is named Jesus Christ.

I have no problem with teachers making more money in fact we should cut some of these welfare programs and allocate the funds towards are teachers. No reason why some bum should get paid for doing nothing while teachers get ripped off. Handing over more $$$ so some government agency can allocate it inefficiently (like they have 20 trillion in debt) is not my idea of honoring or paying homage to "the whole of civilization".
Do you hate profit? Do you work for free? This idea that my profit is deserving to some bum on the street thru some grand scale wealth redistribution is nothing more then Elite politicians acting like they care, when infact they're skimming from the top.

Neglect not in your heart the tender breasts that gave sustenance to the mind from whence those noble ideals sprang.
