- The answer is that human greed is what gets wonderful things done. I wasn't talking about fraud, theft, dishonesty, special privileges from government or other forms of despicable behavior. I was talking about people trying to get as much as they can for themselves.
Yes, I am greedy!!! - Quote :
- There are many examples from around the world of how people have used legal and extralegal means to thwart people trying to get more for themselves, or what I like to call greed. The suppression of these motives has always worked against the best interest of discriminated-against people.
This is why good intentions are NOT enough! I have no reason to doubt most people who support minimum wage laws do so with good intent, but the results are very damaging to the people that are supposed to be helped by such FOOLISH laws. | |
