Strident Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 I know several lefties who have turned to the right once they had made some cash. Someone once said that everyone is a capitalist if they have something to capitalise upon. That does not consider people of conscience of course.

Bedders Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 Care to comment on what I posted as I don't think it was that difficult a point to understand. No I don't think people should be paid the same it's ideolistic claptrap! Why should someone who works on overhead powerlines (that provide the juice for you to tip tap away on your keyboard) & could be fried at any minute, be paid the same as a road sweeper. The system is flawed as everyone would want to take the low risk job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone once said that everyone is a capitalist if they have something to capitalise upon. That does not consider people of conscience of course. That's too true! It's amazing how many 'lefties' who have kids / family then suddenly pay for private healthcare when their nearest & dearest are at risk even though it goes against all their strongly held 'principles'!

"I would like a society that shares wealth fairly evenly, that finds employment for everyone fit enough to work, that treats it sick well, that provides homes for all its citizens."

And how do you propose to share wealth evenly then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bedders Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 And how do you propose to share wealth evenly then? Looks like thats the killer question! It's ok being the 'Theorist' but how does it get put into action? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titanic99 Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 And how do you propose to share wealth evenly then? Oh I'm sure that this could be worked out, do my views make me a leftie then and what are your views on the subjects I mentioned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espadrille Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 There wil always be rich people and poor people and those of us who are somewhere in the middle. As I said the middle is the best.Moderation is the key. In an ideal world we would all have enough to live on and a bit aside for a rainy day. I guess if that happened then most of us would be happy wouldn't we? Money doesn't make you happy. Who you are and how you feel inside is what leads to happiness. We know we all need money but it isnt the most important thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just as I though a Theorist! Criticism.... but no direction on how to fulfill the requirement! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll tell you what, you answer my question as to whether or not what I indicated makes me a leftie and what your thoughts on these areas are and I'll offer a method of achieving this fairness.
