New And ask Carnegie about giving back
Maybe Bill Gates will build some libraries.

Beside Bill...the government is way better qualified to decide how to spend your money when your dead than your wife and children are, ya know?

New Thing about Carnegie
I heard him discussed on the radio recently. He believed if he paid his employees more, they would simply spend the money on meat and clothes and alcohol. Much better to keep them in line and give them the things they really need: parks and libraries and colleges. The average American can't be trusted to make important decisions like that.

Kip Hawley is still an idiot.

New Standard view of society
by a economic mind. An individual, when given choice, will choose to better himself and not society. That is how you get the basic tenants of government (ie to provide for common defense, etc.)
