Only socialism believes one should pay a higher percent in taxes for working harder. So well, the more money you make, the more you should pay at the pumps also? When the PEOPLE wake up, send me a post card. Carnegie is turning in his grave. We now live a world where the more you have the more percentage you pay in taxes.

I have a lot of respect for them or other self-made individuals. I've made it a practice since 5 years-old, the earliest memories I have, to not ask permission. More often than not it serves me well. Very few people have the balls anymore to take decisive action. Interestingly enough I think part of the reason is the connectivity of everyone. You can reach a supervisor anywhere in the world at any time and ask. In the old days people had to decide for themselves. We have become a bunch of wimpy permission whores. Sorry, I guess I'm in a mood today. :-) I love the robber barons because they were not robbers. I have a lot of respect for them or other self-made individuals.

To add to what u've wrote Carnegie was a man of his time, and was aware of that. Therefore was prepared, - which leads to one of my fav quotes; Chance favours the prepared. Nice write-up Derek.
