Time to ban automatic weapons

I was referring to the ability of the individual to make their own way, to make a pile of money regardless of how it affects others.
You make "making a pile of money" sound very easy. Separatinga person from their money is in no way easy. You have to exchange it for something the other person wants. Freedom is a two way street. One has the freedom to be a billionaire, or a starving bum in the gutter. I dont know who this "Mr. Big" you speak of is, but if he made his money legally, my hat is off to him.I need no teacher paid for by someone else to show my kids how to read.
If a currency trader can make a million, good for him. If a person wants to be a teacher, fine, but they are due no more respect than a garbage man. In fact, as we speak, teachers are sitting at home, and not missed. THE GARBAGE MEN WOULD BE GREATLY MISSED!! Yes the teacher should be grateful to be paid with money taken at gunpoint from private citizens.

No one works for the common good. Or should they. You should support yourself, and your family, and respect the rights and PROPERTY of others.
We do not need to value non functioning members of society. Your altruistic beliefs would make children out of adults, eventually destroying individuals as well as society. We are a part of nature. We are not immune to natural laws. To ignore them is to insure we are headed to extinction.
Just curious, What is or was your occupation, and what country do you live in?
