Pinga, those are also examples of people with wealth who are not possessed by that wealth.

This. It is easy from the “ relatively poor” standpoint to judge about the second yacht of some richer person. Compared to the person who only has one pair of shoes or none, we are the rich.Is it helpful to imagine what "wealth" was in Jesus' time? Can those of us "relatively poor" people who have closets full of clothes relate to the idea of having only two outfits and giving away one of them?

In this day and age they could probably figure out how to do it independently, without help of big labels.How do you handle creatives under a "maximum wage" though? The kind of musicians you are talking about here, the Biebers and Swifts, generally don't get a wage or salary. They get royalties (for records) or a percentage of gate (for concerts). How do you cap something like that in a way that is fair? Basically, you would be saying that an artist is no longer entitled to royalties from their creative work after a certain amount. What happens to the money at that point? The record companies and promoters would be drooling at the prospect of being able to keep more of an artist's gross than they already do and I think the artist deserves it. If Bieber fans spend enough on his records that he make a million dollars in royalties and concert take, why not let him have it instead of the greedy backroom dealers?

They would be included in the “ maximum wage”. Limiting profits could be a way to lower the costs. Why does everything get more and more expensive?The record companies and promoters would be drooling at the prospect of being able to keep more of an artist's gross than they already do and I think the artist deserves

In this world, you’re nobody unless you’re trying to make money. It’s pretty gross.
Yep. Because i need to survive and i wouldn’t if i didn’t. Part of the reason I don’t make make more is I won’t sell my soul to work in an exploitative workplace to make that money...whether the job is exploiting me personally, or whether its ultimately about exploiting other people to make someone rich. I feel like I already did sell some of my soul, and when I realized it, I couldn’t go back to it. When that is scrutinized there are very few ethical jobs left that I can do.In the "normal" world, you make a bit of money here, a bit there. You cobble together a "living".
Playing the guitar for shooters is indeed a spiritually rewarding use of talent.
Ezekiel: The upright man is law-abiding and honest…He never charges usury on loans, takes no interest, abstains from evil…There are people who have the “gift of making money for society”
I just repeated what Pinga said. That was her phrase.Ezekiel: The upright man is law-abiding and honest…He never charges usury on loans, takes no interest, abstains from evil…
Usury is always the main cause of economic collapse. Usury is the root cause of business cycles…of rapid expansion and rapid contraction…of Bull and Bear Markets…and always guarantees the concentration of wealth and mammon in the hands of a few.
