I think my economics teacher is a commie. We hit a chapter on the public sector and of course taxes came up. He went on a rant about how those who make more should be taxed more heavily simply because the fact that they make more money means that each dollar should be worth less to them.
He even gave the example that it would be fair to tax someone making 36,000 at 10% while taxing someone making $4 million at 90%. His reasoning was that it was okay since the richer guy would still be making more than the less wealthy man. That sure doesn’t leave much room to encourage entrepreneurs to take risks if you ask me.
I think I may have ticked him off by asking him to give an example of a socialist or communist country functioning well for an extended period of time. Meh, it’s not my fault he couldn’t come up with an answer.

Wow, what a crazy professor! That's awesome that you asked him that. =D
RYC: Your comment is SO true. I shouldn't be stressing out about it because dating should be fun. He never called me today so I'm just going to say peace out to him...
Now I do have to agree that that professor is making some seriously ignorant comments!!!! I wonder what the board at your college would think of him being such an idiot!
And what was your reply that left him without an answer?
I don't remember if I've ever said, but the quote you've got at the top of your page, from The Gunslinger is one of my favorite opening sentences of any book I've ever read. There was no way I could put that book down after reading that sentence.
Hello CC,
I like your site. You worked hard to make it simple yet elegant. I see that you are a student. I’m glad that’s all over with for me!
I like to write articles about God and religion on my site. I want to help people to really get to know God, especially in these troubled times. Jesus gave us a message of hope that is in the Bible: 14 When the good news about the kingdom has been preached all over the world and told to all nations, the end will come. (Matthew 24:14) (CEV) I hope you get a chance to look at them.
I think you need to let someone hear from you, is what I think! Hope everything is ok. Have a great Thanksgiving.
