At what point does a person get to spend their own money the way they want to, without someone else thinking they're greedy?


$200,000__/__$100,000__/__$75,000__/__$50,000__/__$25,000__/$10,000__?__

Nope, haven't said that. Read again.

Why the Country? Why not the World? What have you got against the World?

Because the economy isn't based on 'world economy' yet. If you want to make this possible, the lands which are poor now have to be equally productive as the rich countries. And I think we have to invest in these countries to make this possible, rather than the plunder that's going on right now (with wages kept as low as possible)

and what happens to the "Average" if nobody makes above it, but people still make below it, doesn't the average go down?

You know, the trees do not grow into space, wich has it's reasons.

We're not talking about countries, we're talking about people. the lines you are talking about are artificial. You think you should have more money than someone else, just because there's an artificial line between you?

Touché

So you're saying the problem isn't that there are rich countries, the problem is we need to make the poor countries rich too.

I agree.... but you need to apply that same reasoning to PEOPLE too...

The problem isn't that there are rich PEOPLE, the problem is that we need to make the poor people rich TOO.

See how we made that nice and consistant? :-)

Well, I want a Marshall-plan for the poor countries, so they can make use of their capabilities.

That's about the behaviour of the owners of the money, not about the transaction itself.

This transaction shows that the behaviour of the owner of the money is utterly irresponsible.

True, but that still doesn't make the transaction into a bad thing. :-)
Hopefully, Harrod's will invest the money wisely so that the money can contribute to the creation of more jobs. They shouldn't be allowed to just hold on to it, as that would be a crime both against socialistic ideas aswell as capitalistic ones.

Eventually, it's Zen what I am talking about. A transaction is just a thing, empty, nothing. It's the manner, the way, wich matters.
And in this case, the particular form isn't conform the economy.

And just where does the hard working guy that ends up making a mint, turn into the exploiter?

So let I answer it then:
Management turns into exploiting when it earns more than those who make the actual content, the producers.

Who'd want to go into management then?
More responsibility, more career risk, for the same pay? No thanks.

HEY! As if a management job is something more demanding than a productive job. I mean, with my future job for instance, I can called at night if a production line is out of order due to a software error. These kinds of aspects of jobs you are neglecting.

Everybody has their responsibility at work.

What makes you think Management jobs are easier? If companies could get by paying them less, why don't they?

I think because there is a serious lack of (good) managers.

With the upcoming of ICT there was also a lack of ICT-people, and they offered GENEROUS royalties for them, how about a million quid + a BMW 5?

It's a bad bad bad thing that the job market is set up this way. Nurses, for instance, work extremely hard, and they do not earn much.

What if he works his butt off and pays his employees well? Can he then purchase a Harrods parking space?  :-)

And if a nurse works his/her butt off?

I think everyone should have been paid according to his/her efforts. So to answer your question, my answer is yes. But I do not think someone wants to buy PARKING SPACE for their hard hard hard working.

No it doesn't. These people are not productive in any way. They do not add anything to our civilization yet they push their asses in the front of all attention. They are bloodsucking parasites.
It's like a septic tank, the biggest muck floats in the upper regions.

I agree with you in some ways there. Everyone should be equal, and some celebrities should be shot, eg: Jade Goody, Davina McCall, Mark Durden-Smith, Ant and Dec, Foxy and Mel Sykes  :ak47: :ak47: :ak47: :ak47:

:lol: and how about Justin Timberlake? :roflmao: (though he's hot in some strange way)

Naah. I do not 'need' him.
 
But I thought, this was a cry straight out of your heart, a cry of jealousy.
