In my own words altruism is the false belief that one must give up what they have earned to those that are to dumb, lazy or of a
"higher power" so that every one is equal and every thing is fair. If no matter how hard you work, you're going to get the same
thing and or amount that a person that does less is as immoral as murder, and in my opinion is a rape of the human sprit and
free will.
The United States Government over the last six years has lied to you about volunteerism. Bill Clinton wants you to give up your
time and to work for free to better the collective. Bill Clinton in effect believes or wants you to believe that the behavior by an
animal that is not beneficial to or may be harmful to it self but that benefits others of its species is the right thing to do. That you
or your life means nothing and that you are to work and die for the collective. Further more the United States Government
has also lanced an immoral attack on Microsoft and Bill Gates. The Anti-Trust laws that the United States Government is using
are fueled by weak, and lazy people that want Bill Gates to pay their way do to the fact that they don't want to earn anything
for themselves.
“The case exemplifies all that is immoral about antitrust, which punishes the productive and able because they are productive
and able."
--Michael S. Berliner, The Ayn Rand Institute's executive director.
