I thought we were basically a conservative group, with what that entails.
Hard work or smart ideas equals big profits.
Freedom of speech and expression, no mattet how unpopular
And private properyy rights. Buy what you want. Do what you want with what you buy.
Class envy is an ugly thing. Unfortunately it is very real, even among so-called conservatives.
Why am I not surprised you'd twist things in support of Gates and his oligarchical ilk? Do you really think his sort supports free and open markets? His purpose is to create a permanent peasantry to be treated as the subordinate property of a permanent nobility. He didn't rise to the multibillionaire status because he was so good at what he did. An oligarchical system raised him to that status, a system that's not possible, and a status that's not possible, under a truly free market. The last thing this sort wants are free markets where people are rewarded based on their talents, determination, and effort.
