Honor the inventor, the risk-taking entrepreneurs, the innovators....who DID build that!
1. "Give Back? Yes, It's Time For The 99% To Give Back To The 1%
2. .... give back to the community. That oft-heard claim assumes that the wealth of high-earners is taken away from the community. And beneath that lies the perverted Marxist notion that wealth is accumulated by exploiting people, not by creating value
3. The community never gave anyone anything. The community, the society, the nation is just a number of interacting individuals, ...when some individual persona parent, a teacher, a customergives something to someone else, it is not an act of charity, but a trade for value received in return.
4. It was for value received that your teachers worked day in and day out to instruct you. In commercial transactions, customers buy a product not to provide alms to the business, but because they want the product or service....which is why they choose to continue patronizing the same businesses.
5. In trade, both parties gain. .... There is no debt to discharge. There is nothing to give back, because there was nothing taken away.
6. Well, maybe there isin the other direction.... It is the community that should give back to the wealth-creators. It turns out that the 99% get far more benefit from the 1% than vice-versa.
7. 'When you live in a rational society, where men are free to trade, you receive an incalculable bonus: the material value of your work is determined not only by your effort, but by the effort of the best productive minds who exist in the world around you.'
Rand, "Atlas Shrugged"
a. '... a janitor in the factory producing that invention, receives an enormous payment in proportion to the mental effort that his job requires of him.....The man at the bottom who, left to himself, would starve in his hopeless ineptitude, contributes nothing to those above him, but receives the bonus of all of their brains.'
Ibid.
8. For their enormous contributions to our standard of living, the high-earners should be thanked and publicly honored. We are in their debt.
9. Heres a modest proposal. Anyone who earns a million dollars or more should be exempt from all income taxes. .... the years top earner should be awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor.
a. Imagine the effect on our culture, particularly on the young, if the kind of fame and adulation bathing Lady Gaga attached to the more notable achievements of say, Warren Buffett.
10. An end must be put to the inhuman practice of draining the productive to subsidize the unproductive. An end must be put to the primordial notion that ones life belongs to the tribe, to the community, and that the superlative wealth-creators must do penance for the sin of creating value."
