If we don't have more in terms of wealth, we have more in terms of opportunity. I see many people squandering that opportunity, just as I see athletes squander fortunes that are given to them because they happen to be more gifted than the rest of us. People should find something else to worry about than fairness. We all have the same 24 hrs in a day and some of us take advantage of that more than others. The slow gazelle gets eaten by the lion.

Okay, so I was demonizing Romney. But isn't saying you're seeking "win-win" situations another way of saying you're seeking situations that are more Fair? Isn't that what we all want? I mean, we might have different ideas about what fair means, but I don't think many people have really surrendered to life's unfairness. My idea of Fair might be to collect every penny in the U.S. and redistribute it evenly among the population and your idea might be to fund education so people don't have to dig ditches by hand in China, but isn't some form of "Fair" what we're both wanting?Emma Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01726637012877036629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3610430154861217625.post-66623866263861890562012-04-25T13:26:40.139-05:002012-04-25T13:26:40.139-05:00Em, Anyone who is hired to save companies, like an...Em, Anyone who is hired to save companies, like any doctor, is not going to be able to help all of them. Romney did well which was evidenced by the money he made. But he had some failures. The net gain was far more jobs than when he started. It is unfortunate when people lose jobs, and more unfortunate when they can't find a new one. Rather than the government creating jobs (like digging ditches by hand as the Chinese does), I'd rather see better education to enable more to do work that is needed.

I think that taxes should relate to services, and not be a means of taking from the rich and giving to the poor. (Re)distribution is one means to improve the means of the poor. But there are others that are more win-win situations.Kim Mosleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17658600791743162004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3610430154861217625.post-57812111722321502262012-04-25T12:39:25.065-05:002012-04-25T12:39:25.065-05:00So aren't the people using "Life's no...So aren't the people using "Life's not fair" as an excuse for such things as Romney's tiny tax burden the same ones grumbling "You can't do THAT.
