It's really unfortunate that the same traits that make you great at building a business (within capitalism) also often make you have psychopathic tendencies.

Easy to say this when the original commenter incorrectly described Tobias' comments. He suggested that those who pay more in taxes should have a greater say in how the government is spending the money. This is not a crazy idea on its face; you could say that taken to the limit it would not be a good system to live in (the highest taxpayer dictating what gov't does).

But it does make sense that those who are footing the bill for everything might be consulted a little on the plans to spend.

Kind of says something about the system we've chosen to run our societies on, huh?
