Default Re: A funny thought

This comment is absurd. The reason they 'voluntarily' spend it on that product to that extent is because not enough people had the luck and privilege to be born with that kind of talent; otherwise it wouldn't cost that much to go to a game (supply, demand). That is, the reason that it costs so much to go to sporting events, and that some people pay while other play, is ENTIRELY BECAUSE OF NON VOLUNTARY REASONS. Nobody would have choosen to be without the talents of a Jordan or a Pujols or a Favre if they had the choice.

You may think the distribution of income, wealth and property and therefore happiness and freedom should be based entirely on luck and privilege but I don't.

THis is about equalization of power and human happiness.

I love freedom. I think people should be equally free.
