My new constitution

Quote from CaptainObvious:

Radical leftists and Anarchists would agree, and in fact have been pushing that as long as I can remember. Back in the 60's the slogan was, America, fix it or fuck it. Now the right is saying fix it or fuck it? We can do better than that. Let's fix it, and holing up on your own won't fix shit. It'll feel good for awhile, but it ain't fixing anything long term. You really want to raise that family of yours on an island? Some kind of Jones Town atmosphere? I can't believe that. Kool-aid is kool-aid whether is red or blue.

Edit: And please, don't take my tone as angry. It's not. I'm just a guy that's trying to make you take a pause. You're talking about writing off family members, long time friends...com'on man, that's serious stuff. Chill brother, we'll be OK.

Fails to recognize... THAT'S WHAT MADE AMERICA GREAT! "Thrive or fail based upon your own efforts... GO BIG IF YOU CAN... ACCOMPLISH SOMETHING".. that mind-set built the world's greatest economic powerhouse in an environment of relative political freedom.

Everyone should contribute all that they can, yes, "from each according to his ability", but what really made America great is teamwork. Capital is useless without labor, and labor is useless without capital.

America was and is a team effort. All the monied up risk takers in the world don't grow shit without employee's doing the work.

I know you're not angry, and I respect what you're trying to explain to me. What I'm telling you is I no longer give a damn. At all. I am as I type this readjusting my financials to scale out the US and focus internationally (selectively, as some places are more liberal than this joint). I no longer give a shit about the US population. We're done. It's over. You just can't argue with the math.

I've never moved from this postion. Do I think risk takers should get the lions share of the profits? You bet. But they must reward and acknowledge their employees that helped make them so successful. Then we all prosper together. It's no more complicated than that.

OK. I'm only trying to say you may be making very permanent decisions based on what may be a temporary problem. May be temporary. Who knows, maybe it's too late.
I certainly respect your right to live your life anyway you see fit, and I as stated yesterday, I wish you well.
