Amen Brother. I make my living playing the piano. I can't count the times some ignorant twit invited me to play for their party and offered me drinks and barbecue. I use to decline the offer's by being polite. No thanks, I don't drink and I eat at home. My fee is $$$. Well, they balked at actually paying me. Now I'm more to the point-go fuck yourself. Jon is absolutly correct about the fundamental nature of economics. I have something to sell you want to buy. We come to an agreement on the price. The trade is beneficial to both parties. That is the root, the fundamental definition of Capitalism. Forget Marx's definition or Adam Smith or David Riccardo or Keynes or any other academic who baffles one with bullshit. It is stunningly simple-a voluntary trade between two or more people period.
There is one more thing-one should be happy to pay another for their work. Happy. It should make you feel good to compensate your fellow man for their labor. If it doesn't-then you're an evil prick.
