OK, link doesn't work.

So, what, exactly, does this party stand for? I mean, none of the other parties, to my knowledge, actively advocate for an unequal distribution of output relative to input. OK, I guess that the Dems kinda do.

But, if this party is saying that I should receive from the Fed an amount equal to what I give, then I'm all for it.

Can't wait for my Federal Ferrari Stamp card to come in the mail...

There it should work now. I don't know what happened. Sorry about that.

I agree with the Equitarian given the constraint that you view those around you as collaborators. By collaborator, I don't mean that you actually have to like the person, but rather that you view them as working at least somewhat towards a common goal (i.e. the company if it's a coworker). However, I don't think it holds once you introduce an enemy or opponent where you're willing to sacrifice your gains to reduce their gains.

It is often easier to take from someone else than to make it yourself, and this will continue to be true forever. And, I'm not talking about stealing or taking by force. I'm talking about exchanging goods that are relatively worthless to me, but that are essential to you. Things which I'd probably give away, but I can sell to you for a massive profit, in exchange for goods from you that you have to work very hard to produce and which make you almost no profit.

In other words, people will always try to take advantage of other people. Or, put in a nicer way, people will always try to get an advantage over other people.
