So what? It is HIS money and where he chooses to keep it is HIS

Agreed! I do get concerned when I see or hear people talking about the
money of others (usually those with more money...), and either
saying or
suggesting that others should use that money for some pupose that
they feel
is appropriate. Since when do any of us have that right? Han might
have
his own thoughts on what is good for society, but so do a ton of other
people. So - how to decide how those with more money should use their
money? By whose definitions? Not to mention that such a thought
all by
itself is really presumptuous. I guess we all do that, and I'm not
calling
Han out on this, other than to note that we as people do those
things. I
guess that's one of the benefits of forcing a compromise between two
adverse
parties such as liberals and conservatives.

If someone other than Romney can ethically decide what Romney does
with his money, that same someone can just as ethically decide what
Tim can do with his money, no matter how much Tim might disagree.


What money? I'm living in the age of Hoax And Shame...


If so, you can thank BO for that. You are the one who inferred that
someone other than Romney can ethically decide what Romney does with his
money. Are you therefore on board with giving that some someone the
same decision making power over YOUR money?
