I'm not saying that guy is right for what he did but how is what he did any different than the oil companies getting billions in taxpayer money from the fed. gov't and at the same time charging the American consumer through the nose for gas all the while raking in record profits?
If you cannot argue the point, concede it. Applying your own labels to people does not invalidate their points, it only makes you look stupid.

Tens of thousands of lives have died to preserve our freedom, their sacrifice is priceless and not to be confused with "market price".

Neither Marx, nor Engles or Mao especially valued human life beyond what could be produced for the common good.

It's not nonsense, maybe you need to slowly re-read the excerpt again. And if you wish to read more, here is where you can find the whole work.
Dr. Rogers' 1996 work Ten Secrets for a Successful Family (ISBN 978-0891078838).

I do not have my statements backwards at all. You believe that the good of man trumps the free market.
Now, I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that either you have (at least) a college degree, or are substantially read in any number of topics beyond a conventional high school education. So given that, we have an educated, hard-working individual who's dignity trumps the fundamentals of Capitalism and that the freedom of the free market is in fact, a hoax.
More to that point, your previous statements empower many to seize the country's destiny from it's oppressors (who are staunch Capitalists, especially given the urgency of the last few weeks). If that isn't proletarian incitement 101, I don't know what is.
I'm puttin' the Ham back into Hamilton. Where's that

You can have both, dignity and embrace the free market economy. One does not have to give up either, to attain the other. You envision capitalism as necessarily evil, granted there are those that flaunt their excess, but the majority are far from the "evil empire" stereotype.
