No, you're old when you recall that you HAD a six-million-dollar-man doll... er, action figure, plus his boss Oscar, and Oscar's exploding briefcase. You could look through Steve's head through his bionic eye and see the girls at the playground giggling at your, um, action figure set.
The Challenge: Name something the "rich" (first gen or inherited) do with their money that doesn't already benefit me and you.

See, they are providing me benefits whether they want to or not, and I don't even have to impose on their liberties to get the benefits. It's the nature of the free market. Sheer genius. It's like some hand with, um, I dinno, maybe a Romulan cloaking device, is at work. No tachyon emissions or nuthin'; it's practically invisible, Captain.
Why would you want to interfere? Bureaucracy adds inefficiency. Grandma says, "Geek cred is inversely proportional to one's love of inefficiency."
Love your Grandma, boy. And don't let your greed (wanting what you have not earned) for their money (you haven't earned it) destroy your love of liberty (which you have earned by virtue of your birth).

That's the Count of Stone Monte Cristo, you insensitive clod, or did you not RTFC?
"Anarchic free market" does not make any sense as a concept. Anarchy prohibits free markets as there is no governeing body to settle contract disputes and manage the rule of law that free markets require.
"too much wealth centralized in the hands of too few kills the economy because no one can afford to buy anything"
No offense, I think this is just made up. I know, I know, it's Slashdot, but really. How do you figure this? Consumer goods are cheaper than ever, yet the "rich are getting richer" as we are told. Retail prices are not controlled by the accumulation of net worth. I just don't see correlation or causation.
As a fellow fiscal conservative I want to show solidarity, but this smells like making nice with the collectivists. Don't hedge. Free markets and the rule of law work; the Nerd that's smartest with his money will accumulate, the little nerdabees will spend it all. No redistribution required.

Too bad Scientology is not bound by the Third Geneva Convention with respect to its prisoners of war, um... "followers".

The problem is, SCIENTOLOGY isn't a religious organization,
fixed that for you.
A weekend indoctrination seminar?
Are you sure they weren't Movementarians?

I would hear more of these "boobs" and "shaved armpits" of which you speak. Photos, or they never happened.

Exactly. Just because the priests are all Catholic does not necessarily imply that the Bishops, Cardinals, and the Pope...
Wait... "eat your vegetables" I'm writing this down... Man, this Tony Robbins stuff is gold!
