you tell me, john, i am sure your are astute enough figure it out and think of
examples of what is fair, and excessive. the problem is, you don't want to
admit that there is such a thing, so you try blame me and accuse me of being a
plutocrat as a diversion. can you comprehend that there is a middle ground?
can you conceive of a mixed economy that is based on sustainability, rather
than material greed. i want to create such a utopia on my land, but you insist
that i would live there alone like a hermit, rather than recognize that there
are people who have a more advanced perspective. i realize that in a
capitalist society, market forces are far more powerful than i, but i can still
try to create my own model outside of that system. why is that a problem for
you? do you really think my vision is worse than your laissez faire model? do
you really believe that foreign workers choose to want to use the short hoe so
we can eat lettuce for a few cents
less per head. come on!
