Have To Versus Choose To
From the day you are born, you HAVE to do only one thing - DIE! Everything else is a choice. So the next time someone says, "I have to do ...." you should say, "No, you choose to do it."
Working Man (?)
How many times have you heard (from both parties) about "the working man"? The implication is that the "rich" do not and have never worked. I guess they (the politicians) don't know that most rich men worked hard for many years to get rich. And I guess that they never heard the word "risk." There is no work harder than working under the threat of losing everything. I guess noone ever heard of the Kennedys?
Big?
Today we hear about the profits of 'Big Oil' or 'Big Pharm' or 'Big you name it.' What do people think companies do with profits? Have people never heard of dividends or R&D? We invest in oil companies expecting a return on investment. And where do new drugs come from without R&D? And who (be specific) can define 'excessive profits?'
