Random Thought for today

[makattak]

Why is it that people whose entire philosophy is based off moral relativism cannot grasp relativism in economics?

From: "How dare you judge him!? What is right for you might not be right for him."

To: "You know, one of our biggest problems is our tax rates, especially our corporate tax rate being far too high."

"That can't be true, taxes were so much higher in the past and we had lots of growth!"

"They were higher, but so were the taxes of all other countries, so that, compared to them, we weren't so bad. Now most countries have a much lower corporate tax rate than we do."

"But taxes were so much higher in the past and we still had lots of growth!"

Because those people are not true moral relativists.  If they really understood and believed what they preached, they would know that ecnomic freedom is moral relativisim. 
The Bible store and the Porno theatre have equal rights to exist.  Neither should be required to subsidize the other's lifestyle.
Get these so called relativists talking religion....you'll see their true stripes.
