Money's money, addictions require money. Some people are hooked on pussy and can't always get their fill through 'conventional' channels. I bet most of the people giving shit about it are the kind who'd take it if someone else paid for them, fucking tightwads.
Personally, I wouldn't pay for sex but I'm all for paying to watch chicks fire ping-pong balls out their snatches and the like, that's pure entertainment.

if this is in relation to my previous quote, I think I might have been misunderstood. I don't think the minimum wage should be raised into the millions, this would be both ridiculous and catastrophic to the economy. What I am saying is that there's got to be a point where someone just has too much money. I mean does anyone really need more than say, a 100 million dollars? At that point, you can buy whatever you want, you can live anywhere you want, you can travel where ever you want to go. I'm not for setting a limitation to what a person can do with their life but I am for putting a cap down when you reach a point when you have more than you could ever spend a couple of lifetimes over.

I've thought of a couple of different ways this could be implemented. One of 'em I find both interesting and workable would be to tie the lowest paid job of an entire corperation and use that as the basis for a Ceo's pay. For instance, if a company has minimum wage employees (making 5.15) then the Ceo, owners, whatever the big whigs wanna call themselves, could only make a 1,000 times that amount. (5.15*1000*40(typical full-time work week)*52(weeks in a year))=10.712 million a year salary max. That doesn't seem like an unfair situation to me. If the Ceo wanted to make more than that because business is booming, that's simple, pay your employees more money. (in this scenario, for every dollar raise your lowest paid employee gets, it allows you to recieve an extra 2 million anually)

what are your thoughts on a system like this?^

Both cases mentioned have changed the dynamics of american society, especially in labor.

Another one of those dynamic shifts has been taking place here in America over the last twenty-thirty years. Alot of the production jobs that where a staple of the american economy have been outsourced overseas forcing our economy into being built more and more on the service sector side of things. I don't foresee anything in the near future that will stop that trend.

There's alot of things that happened in the past that led every country to the socioeconomic position they're in right now.

Women working (not that its a bad thing but it has an effect), the end of slavery (a time when every black person was employed), industrial jobs moving over seas (that was the back bone of america), poor education (at one time america was number one in all fields study), even segragation played a major part in america's current economic situation.

Indeed, the sad thing is that politicians that seem genuinely interested in moving things in the right direction are few and Very far between. I'd like to see that defense budget shrunk down and re-directed towards giving the people of this country a promising future. Education would be the key component imo to getting things where they need to be. As you have pointed out, its an area where we've fallen grossly behind.

He may be a millionaire because of the albums and movies he's done if he has saved his money. Most rappers don't know nothing about saving money because they too busy spending their money on dumb shit trying to impress people.

it's like this tomjones i said that their 1st album went double or tripple platinum & that's only their 1st album that's what i said bitch
you must know that fredro starr is a legend & he's still doing moves

Starr's acting resume is almost as impressive as his recording one. He was one of the stars of the critically acclaimed "Sunset Park," and had a supported role in the cult favorite "The Addiction." Starr has also appeared on "NYPD Blue," "Law & Order" and "Moesha." On the latter, he appears as the title character's fiance. He will also have a more prominent role on the series, as he has a full-season commitment.

Because Starr is accomplished in both television and firm, he takes pride in working with some of the fields best performers.

"it was cool to work with these actors," Starr says of his work on some of televisions most popular programs. "You see them on TV for years and when you're acting with them, it's a test that you've got to put yourself up to. You can't be intimidated and you've got to do your thing."

Starr has been doing his thing for the past decade. Born in Brooklyn, Star moved to Jamaica, Queens when he was 13. With some of his friends from school, as well as his cousin from Brooklyn, Starr formed Onyx, the revolutionary rap group that introduced most pits to hip-hop.

"We took the energy that Leaders of The New School had and took it to a grimier level," Starr explains. "Instead of talking about 'P.T.A.', we were talking about 'Fuck School. Lets go outside and rob somebody.' Then you had groups like M.O.P. and Wu-Tang Clan that came behind us. When they were writing their albums, they were watching us."

After taking some time off from the group to pursue their solo projects, Onyx will reconvene in 2001 to record its fourth album, one that Starr says will have a rock-n-roll edge. Starr also promises to make Other People's Money into one of hip-hop's strongest imprints. In addition to Sticky Fingaz and Starr himself, the company has signed Begetz and X-1.

"I want to have a successful label with Other People's Money," Starr stays. "I have a lot of artists that are talented. Hopefully, I'll be able to sit back and let them do their thing. I'd like to be the producer behind them. I want to take a back seat and let the talent do their thing."

As someone who has blazed trails in music, movies and business, Fredro Starr knows what it takes to succeed. With Firestarr, he's delivering another landmark album.

"God have us everything," Starr says. "He took it all away and then he gave it back to us. I'm not trying to let it go again."

i dont think its a bad idea. it is a bit socialist, which isnt a bad thing. but you know it wouldnt ever happen, here atleast.

there would have to be laws passed for that to happen. who passes laws? politicians. whens the last time you met a poor politician with no connections to rich people or big business? never. the people who have the money and the power have too much to loose by doing this.

i mean it could happen, but i think it would have to take some sort of marxist type revolution. which is very unlikely, unless this country reallllly goes to shit and most of the population has nothing to loose.

indeed, i think that is the number one problem in this country, too much guns, not enough books.

war is what this country runs on. its what keeps us (the people in power) stable. we (once again the people in power) shape the world with war so it works better for us.

its how we got out of the depression.
