And to be honest, I'm OK with it. The bandmembers had nothing to do with this. They were drawn into it. It's not their fight at all so I completely understand if they are just like "we just want to make music". I don't think it's right for somebody else to have a cause and then expect you to get on board, especially if it comes at personal expense.

It helps to have the kind of money he has because then it only affects friendships etc., not your ability to make a living because you have to pay your bills. If you make 50K it would be much much harder.

@odious5317 Because we fought against the Nazis. We never fought the Russians or Chinese. It's not as close to home with us. Plus Germany is a western nation so we have much more in common.

@Torquemadia Very well put. Nobody wants to live in a purely free market society with taxation = theft blah blah blah. These hardcore capitalists still hire teams of lawyers for patent protection, trade protection, copyrights, NDA's and all sorts of things they want the government to help with. We all want a bit of both worlds and where that line is, is up for debate. Very few truly would want a society were you CAN'T get ahead, and few would want full out Lord Of The Flies capitalism.

@DarkAngel2512 "more important things than money" Here's why I think there's nothing, nothing at all more important thatn money: If you are having a very hard time feeding yourself and paying your bills, nothing is more important than money. Unless you want to live in the woods off the grid, you NEED money, end of story. You don't literally need anything else. You need money, or things other people bought with money and gave to you. Everything good in your life starts with money. Without it your very existance would cease unless you could forage for food in the woods. Every other means of existence outside of maybe an isolated Amazon tribe relies on money as a starting point even if it's just for an ax to chop trees and create a bow and arrow. That's why I said that he's in a position where he can worry about things other than money because he already has that covered. If you don't have that covered, then nothing else matters.

@DarkAngel2512 So you didn't read my essay, yet you've cast final judgement on it. I'm sure you are an easy going person who gets along with everyone.

@odious5317 Don't confuse something that just popped into my head as "information", haha. Take it with a grain of salt.

Interesting about Churchhill. I was always confused as to why he's this historically revered figure, but probably was voted out of office.
