Hey Sarah.Interesting opinion...but I don't really see the point of your comment. Why even mention that you up voted for my passion? That is kind of backhanded. Don't you think? Nonetheless, let me respond.
The point of this article was to help introduce people to the ideas and get them involved in thinking about the depredations of government. It was not meant to be an in depth analysis or long piece fraught with jargon.
And not everything that is in depth automatically deserves high up votes. Not even my own pieces. I have written original material on my blog with new ideas and longer analysis, and those didn't do as well as this one. I have one piece that moves into territory that this piece never touched, and it only made 65 bucks. Some people just like soundbites or smaller, more palatable pieces. And personally, I enjoy and have a knack for writing succinct articles that hit home.
And if people like them, why shouldn't they be worth 75 bucks...or maybe 5k?
