Yes, I agree that I could never do the type of damage that would bring Bill Gates/Sony to their knees. But if we all do our part then we could definitely have a balance...like Taoism.
In my opinion, I think laws are meant to be broken and thats why they are there. Just a civilized way to take more money from the average citizen. You don't see rich people getting caught stealing, they don't have to. I mean first we get taxed 33.3% of our employment checks, then we get taxed 6.7% on everything we buy, and the wealthy only get up to $80,000 of their wages taxed for the year, even if they make $20,000 a week, like a CEO. I mean I know that that isn't against the law but what about what that dweeb was talking about, moral issues. It may not be against the law, but isn't it immoral to be a multimillionaire and only get taxed for up to $80,00 of you gross, without speaking up for the hard work and low pay of the average citizen getting everything taxed? Don't they have a conscience? What about their morals? What about when I only make $50,000 a year and they tax every-bit of it? Don't they have morals about someone being over-worked and underpaid? I wouldn't bet on it.
So I think everyone with a lot of money is very afraid of losing it, and they should be. Most of them would not know how to deal with life after having all they've ever wanted taken away from them. Well I am not a millionaire and I don't have $800 to spend on Photoshop7....now if I learn to use it real good and get a job using it exclusively, then I promise I will buy it. But until then I want to barbecue, and have cableTV, and spend a little money on my lady-friend every so often. So the guys who claim law and always refer to 'law this' and 'law that'...they need it.....it lets them be the pricks that they are with government protection. Sometimes when everyone has their hands in the bowl you've just gotta go over there and push your way through and grab what you want, no-one is gonna hand you anything. Especially rich pricks who won't even divvy their income tax equally. Do you think their morals are shouting "Hey no..this isn't fair. We should all have to pay the same taxes." Hell no! What they are thinking is "Hell yeah. I must be special. God loves me. Man, going to church is really paying off." They look to God for the justification of their actions. Me personally, I think that if there is a God then he's probably pretty bored and is waiting for the less fortunate to find other ways to survive and beat the system, start a civil war.
Man, don't even get me started on that. I know I am getting carried away but I like to throw a lot of issues out there that correlate to what a few people talked about in this forum. Anyways....its just my opinion.
