Why is there no maximum wage?

God judges the heart, not the action...

You simply know that is not truth.
1 john 4:20
Matthew 7:21


If I gave a poor man a song, but he was a masquerading rich man with many songs. No amount of retribution or good-will changes that moment when the rich man snared a charitable heart.

'I'm raping her with love in my heart God, don't judge me.....'

[ELVIS]

That's just a twisted mentality...

[binnie]

'Twisted Mentality' would be a great name for a metal band.

Actually its reducito ad absurdum (which would also be a great name for a metal band).

[Blaze]

That's just a twisted mentality...

So in your justified heart there are some limits where God judges your actions not your heart.

[ELVIS]

That makes no sense...

Uh-oh.... only one person in the history of this board ever had a panda fetish.

Is Blaze Dutch, by chance?

And it's not where you stick your money...
It's the motive behind where you stick your money and everything you do...
God judges the heart, not the action...

Take the "God judges the heart, not the action" belief of yours.

That is saying "The means justifies the ends".
The Panda meme I found examples with that belief the flood gates of justification are unleashed, such as in the case of the fictional character Dexter.
Do I dare second guess God, and only murder those who directly murder if my heart justifies it? Perhaps I should also murder those who indirectly murder. Perhaps I should murder those that have a predisposition to murder.
Let us lessen the severity of the sin. Let us say I am a policy maker. Do I also arrange to eliminate any one that speaks an un-peaceful statement? If so, I should spy to find those sorts.

Being of righteous spirit also includes actions of spirit. One cannot justify a sinful action for good will.

Or in other words...
Fighting corruption with corruption begets corruption.

[FORD]

Well, in the last season of Dexter, you saw Tom Hanks's son trying to justify murder in the name of God.

Didn't work out so well for him, did it?

We live in a free society that is based on capitalism. In capitalism you are free to seek better paying jobs if you feel you should be paid more than you are currently being paid. No one is holding you back except yourself if you are not seeking a better paying job or creating a better paying job for yourself if that is what you desire. I have no problem with any person doing that. A couple of examples:

1) A soldier with a specialized skill set can leave his/her branch of service when his/her hitch is up and gain employment with a security company like Triple Canopy or Blackwater. If you can the right skill set you can make over 6 figures very easily. So, a Sgt. who was making less than $30,000 quadruples his or her salary just by making a choice to leave their service and sign another contract with a security firm. Seems like a no brainer to me.
2) A person with a certain skill set can leave their current job and start their own company. Sure you risk almost everything to do it but if it pays off you reap the rewards/benefits. I know a Marine who started his own company making gun accessories. He risked his financial future on his dream but it paid off. He's a multi-millionaire now. Ever heard of the company Magpul?
3) A kid who is blessed with god given talent in a sport decides to work their butt off 8 to 12 hours a day for years to perfect their skill set. That kid wins 14 major tournaments by the time he's 32 and is being paid millions of dollars in endorsements.

It saddens me to see people pointing fingers at successful people and hating them because they get paid more than them. I look at them and think they worked harder than most people, they caught the right breaks in life, and put their god given talent in whatever to work. They deserve what they get paid - they worked hard to achieve what they made out of their lives.

[FORD]

The minute you suggested BlacKKKwater as a "career option", you pretty much outed yourself as a paid shill. (Of course having 911 in your username was a dead giveaway too)

Funny how your list of "career opportunities" left out "You can post right wing talking points on internet websites for minimum wage, like I do"

Fuck off, KKKochbot.

Interesting points.

Would your opinion change if someone inherited their money? Never worked, never had to do anything, just born waiting to come into hundreds of millions?

Also, on the issue of sports, is it fair to pay someone millions and millions if it is ultimately the fans of the sport who have to pay for it (through higher ticket prices etc....)

(Like I said earlier, I have no problem with people earning lots of money. It's what people do with that money that sickens me).
