Word for the Day: Interdependency

[one...two...tree 2,762]

No man is an island entire of itself; every man

is a piece of the continent, a part of the main;

if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe

is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as

well as a manor of thy friends or of thine

own were; any man's death diminishes me,

because I am involved in mankind.

And therefore never send to know for whom

the bell tolls; it tolls for thee. ~ John Donne

I agree. There is this isolationist mentality among certain segments of society that neglects to address the fact that people interact with each other. No one wants to pay taxes and if we work hard then we ALL feel cheated by people who abuse the system but that's no excuse to engage in this selfish industry. If you're doing well, great, so if I pay a few extra bucks, big deal. Instead of having a $100,000 party, maybe I'll spend a bit less or pay a bit more in taxes.

I'm not paying more in taxes because someone else chooses to pay less.

No man may be an island, but a man can choose who's island he visits, just as another can choose whether to visit that man's island or not.

Hoever forcing that man to live on an island with others who keep a hostile environment isn't ideal either, is it?

That's EXACTLY what you are doing when tax cuts are given to the wealthy. How do like subsidizing millionaires and billionaires?

Did Consolemaster help you write that?

Really, I'm not the one who wants to give more of my paycheck to the wealthy. Now who's being naive?

wait, so by somehow allowing someone else to keep a little more of their money, then i'm giving my paycheck to them?

Nope. Don't think so.

Keep living a in a little fantasy world though.

Can't do that, Rush Limbaugh hasn't given me any Oxycontin. Let's deal in the real world, for once.
