Msytery Lady With Wisdom

The other day i was skimming profiles on some internet dating site, and one lady's comment caught my attention. she said "we're gonna have to share, because some people can produce more than others."  

This profound truth, stated with such utter direct simplicity, overwhelmed me. nowhere in the bible, nor in karl marx, nor goethe, nor anywhere else has anyone ever uttered a truer sentence.

so elegant, so intelligent, so replete with meaning  from the beginning: "we're gonna have to share"..implying that thus far, we have NOT shared, but that, in the future, we must, because its becoming critical that we do...

and this lady did nbot impress me as being particularly well educated, i recall. but she sure had her values straight.

the idea has been expressed many times before, most notably by jesus christ "go thy way, and sell whatsoever thou hast, and give unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure, in heaven". 

but don't even bother to look for any better expression than offered by  "we're gonna have to share, because some people can produce more than others"..., it doesn't exist.

I remember nothing about the lady, unfortunately; i was merely skimming profiles. i have no idea about how old she was, where she lived, what she looked like, or anything else about her, which is a shame, because she must be a really high class human being. she gave me, and the world, the most eloquent rendition of socialism ever, as eloquent as christ himself. 

conservatives like rush limbaugh often use the word "producers" to mean the wealthy, and proclaim that they should not be punished by paying higher tax rates than the poor in a progressive taxation system. as if helping others were "punishment"

... should those who produce more share more, or should they not, my fellow conservative americans? and is sharing really "punishement", or an honor; the honor of being required by the government (render under caesar, recall?) of your country to contribute more, since the country has allowed you to earn more?

often in america the very same people who proclaim christianity simultaneously proclaim the gospel of wealth, and of what they call "fair", or flat taxation. how they can reconcile those belief systems  must be a mystery to all thinking, and feeling, human beings.
