Sometimes you say stupid things like money is just a worthless paper and so on, and when I starting to lose interest on you (just kidding) you suddenly write something, which is 100% accurate again and which should be hammered in the minds of the people.
Of course no one have the right to tell you how to spend your money! Governments don't have this kinds of rights, but they apply it with force anyway. Your money is your money. Because money is CREATED and not had been stolen. If you are offering goods and services, you CREATE money. If you rise taxes, you STOLE it. It it that simple. The world is going to be richer every time you create value, be as speech, store, stuff, anything what people can use to make things better. The invention of the hammer made the world rich like never before. If I invent cold fusion, the world is going to be hundred times more richer. Where is this money came from? They have to print it in order to back the stuff you created.
Now you can send on whatever you want your CREATED money, because you simply unable to hurt the economy with that. This money was not taken from somewhere else (temporarily maybe until the government (FED in America) figuring out they should print more because of you). In fact nobody have more right to this money than you. Nobody! If they have more right than you, you suddenly going to lose the interest on achieving, which turn every eventually every single person into a street sweeper.
A would modify the sentence "Arrogance and ignorance." to "Arrogance OF ignorance".
"I said people who would judge where and how I spend my money should go fuck themselves."
I wish you could be so harsh and strong when you complain about the names of what people calling on gays. See? We should not oppress hate speech, because what we oppress is free speech. We should be strong and intelligent enough to process it, to don't give a fuck about it or to be able to fight back if we will!

I"m reading The Fourth Great Awakening & the Future of Egalitarianism by Robert William Fogel (1993 Nobel Prize in Economics).
Great post Randy. One point, your use of "...other immoral activities..." got me thinking about Ayn Rand's book, The Virtue of Selfishness, where the first lecture questions whether a moral code is required among humanity. Perhaps a better way to interpret that would be to recognise we all have different moral codes (and yes, the "great" questions are usually the same, however it is often the details that matter) and suggest that if someone was making money via illegal activities that would be unprosperous - if indeed that is a word. Perhaps anti prosperous might be more appropriate..
Loving the way this thread is developing
I don't like illegal as the rational, because in many places, things like riding a motorcycle without a helmet, prostitution, or taking recreational drugs is illegal. But I don't consider them immoral or necessarily anti-prosperous.
real or prudent?
Prosperity is to be celebrated, not worshiped. It's our natural state! .. the basics.. let's get our definitions correct..
I am completely rattled, because I am just catching up, backwards, on your posts, starting with The Infinite Nature of Money. Will comment anyway. Long time listener, first time caller, kinda thing.
Inevitably, the many people who asked me for donations to their cause, or who share a post of someone looking for dollas, gave NONE themselves. As if their superior conscience job was to merely give the contribution job to someone they decided “should” donate. Give me a break.
And, people who asked why I wanted to do more businesses, didn’t I have enough, were the exact same people with their hand out when the time came. Hard eyeball roll.
(I’m nicer than I sound right now).
