| Message | »The silly notion of progressive "thinking," and of "altruism," is that people be punished for ability and success, and this punishment be in the form of theft (called taxation), and used to pay reward to the incompetent and lazy because of their "need." This has gone on far too long. Greater Terra should finally get the treatment of respect that it deserves. Instead of punishing virtue to reward vice, let's stop promoting evil. Let's undertake the revolutionary idea of punishing vice to reward virtue. What do you say? Should we actually be good people, for once?« ~Natasha Goldstein (Goldstein Corporation) |
