That's what the entire economy IS based on. LiterateDog Send a noteboard - 20/09/2010 11:44:01 PM
People pay others for what they want, no matter what your income level.

And I wasn't talking about that being the only kinds of jobs "the rich" create. I was simply saying that is a kind of job that they do create and the people who have the job are happy to get it since we don't engage in slavery, indenture, or feudalism here and they can thereby not take the job if they don't want it.

As for the your Republicans creating those jobs trope. Fuck that. You never hear about a Democrat having a mansion or having servants, huh?

As for your tax dollars building anything, well, they might build a couple of feet of it most. What you mean to say is that you'd rather take the money from people who can build nicer things than you can afford to build and have the government build an highway out of their money. Of course, they've already spent billions and billions on the highways you don't like. Perhaps one day if we take enough of other people's money, we can eventually build enough of the things that you think should be built with their money. Because you, bureaucrats, and politicians are so much better at efficiently and judiciously allocating the resources and priorities in a dynamic economy.

Holy hell that is beautiful. - 20/09/2010 08:59:52 PM 947 Views
Yeah, when it drops to $20,000,000 from the current $25,000,000 I'm totally picking it up. - 20/09/2010 09:04:16 PM 991 Views

Travolta has a landing strip. - 20/09/2010 11:36:48 PM 944 Views
Wow *NM* - 20/09/2010 09:04:18 PM 498 Views
An entire thing, by definition, cannot be the pièce de résistance. I hate artists so much. *NM* - 20/09/2010 09:17:26 PM 410 Views
AND magnum opus. Just... ugh. Fury. *NM* - 20/09/2010 09:18:01 PM 417 Views
Chill out, little dude. If you act decently, maybe Tigr and I will invite you over for lunch. *NM* - 20/09/2010 09:21:41 PM 374 Views

Why do you need six bathrooms if you only have four bedrooms? - 20/09/2010 09:50:03 PM 907 Views
With a place like that - 20/09/2010 11:02:20 PM 859 Views
That's the beauty of it: - 20/09/2010 11:11:32 PM 957 Views
Convenience. Lots of guests at a party. Plenty of reasons to want extras. - 20/09/2010 11:09:35 PM 895 Views
Meh. - 20/09/2010 11:12:57 PM 948 Views
If you're spending that kind of money on a house you don't tell guests to tromp through the bedrooms - 20/09/2010 11:16:12 PM 868 Views
Well, it IS a guest room. - 20/09/2010 11:23:52 PM 941 Views
Why is it extravagant waste? - 20/09/2010 11:28:33 PM 928 Views

Let's recall how this conversation began, eh? - 21/09/2010 12:17:30 AM 1014 Views
Btw, I'm not replying again. You may like going back and forth with some fool on the net. I do not. *NM* - 20/09/2010 11:58:42 PM 356 Views
Fair enough. - 21/09/2010 12:23:18 AM 940 Views
Also, I'm talking more about party guests. - 20/09/2010 11:35:09 PM 834 Views
So you're thinking some of those six bathrooms would be more accurately described as toilets, then? - 20/09/2010 11:36:32 PM 867 Views
One can never know. - 20/09/2010 11:46:38 PM 883 Views
Well, yes, I understood that. - 20/09/2010 11:38:10 PM 1162 Views

If you call ahead, you may visit Tigr and me. *NM* - 20/09/2010 10:12:24 PM 337 Views
That area is very exclusive....I'm not sure that the local Home Owners association will allow Tigr. *NM* - 20/09/2010 10:19:31 PM 411 Views
I can be very persuasive. - 20/09/2010 10:25:49 PM 888 Views

Eh. Sterile and lacking heart. - 20/09/2010 10:10:34 PM 1095 Views
Clean, intellectual, and appealing to the heart in a different manner. - 20/09/2010 10:13:45 PM 939 Views

All that unrelieved white concrete would become a downer real fast. - 21/09/2010 05:41:11 AM 962 Views
Oh, it definitely needs art, and more furniture. - 21/09/2010 04:46:02 PM 1057 Views
