I don't think we should dictate, however, I don't think people, or entire govts, should let themselves become pawns of the rich. Unfortunately, that's the way it is.
How much influence does the bum on the corner have? According to the constitution, he has the same influence as the millionaire. However, in the real world, that is not so true. Personally, my house ain't all that great. Our vehicles are all falling apart and, if it were not for my employer, I wouldn't have any computer equipment at home to use for actual work. Therefore, I take the side of the little guy and will always resent the big money when they show "too" much extravagance. Was it really necessary for this millionaire to get so much media coverage? He probably thinks he can buy his way into heaven just by the gracious act of bailing out the Russian space program.

Should we all never spend more than an amount the public feels comfortable with? You think the bum on the corner doesn't say the same thing when you drive past in your fancy car? Couldn't you have bought a much much cheaper car and given the rest to charity? Couldn't you have bought a smaller house? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Sams Teach Yourself Regular Expressions in 10 Minutes by Ben Forta http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=40 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:175634 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
