On the eighth day, God created the Free Market. That's a little humor I came up with. I actually don't know the exact day, but I'm sure that God is the author of liberty. Unlike the angels, he gave man a free will to exercise for good or evil. And the free market, with the wonderful specialization of labor and all the benefits we enjoy is an expression of our free will. As Adam Smith said, "Man is an animal that makes bargains; no other animal does this - one dog does not change a bone with another". So I believe every person has value to society and should try to contribute what he can for the good of all. Excuse me. I should have said "for the good of himself". The free market is the mechanism by which a person is rewarded for his contributions and his natural talent. We don't have to bemoan the unfairness of Bill Gates or Michael Jordan and their millions. Maximize your own God-given talents and be content with the fruits they produce.
