 AC> Consider the blacks who rioted in south-central LA who killed
 AC> dozens of whites and koreans and destroyed millions of dollars
 AC> worth of property owned by whites and koreans
 WE> Gee, you do you need a clue to know why they got so mad.
Why did those ghetto dwellers get so mad and move their criminal
activities into overdrive?  The fuel was the free education, free
roads, free libraries, free rent, free food, free child care,
free medical care, and endless special treatment in jobs and
other programs.  The spark was when a jury couldn't conclude
beyond a reasonable doubt that four cops deliberately used possibly
a few blows too many on a large drunken felon who led the police
on a high-speed chase and then resisted arrest.  Of course, in
the end, the cops were re-tried, lost their jobs, and the black
"victim" given millions of dollars.  This special treatment of
blacks and special punishment for whites is par for the course,
something blacks are accustomed to.  I guess that's just more
fuel.  Now, you get a clue!  Most American blacks are nothing but
spoiled brats.
Now, you try to tell me why they "got so mad." 
 WE> If I earn 100's of millions of free-market dollars by hiring workers
 WE> at below subsistence level do I have respect for the earnings of
 WE> others?
 AC> Your workers are free to leave and get a job that will pay
 AC> them at a level of subsistence.  And, if that happens,  you
 AC> won't won't be earning 100's of millions of dollars.
 WE> Oh sure, the can quit Nike and hire on at Reback.  
 WE> Now how come they're aren't more mulit-million dollar jobs offered.
The free-market is a totally foreign and unfathomable
concept to you, isn't it?  Let me clue you in:  In a free
market, people get what they're worth.
Consider, if you hire some guy who earns you a $100/day but
you pay him $10/day, I'll offer that guy $11/day and you won't
be making a penny.  So, you'll offer him $12/day, still making
$88/day profit.  And, we'll go back and fourth until one of
us decides there's no profit to be made by hiring him.
That's the free market.  That's what you hate.  You want a system
(socialism) that creates inequity.  What you want causes the
problems you claim to want to solve.  You are backwards, you are
illogical, you are Liberal.
