Seriously - why do you hold onto an opinion that is so clearly based on nothing at all? Particularly when that opinion is such a cornerstone of your philosophy.

That's not true.
The employee works a set schedule and risks nothing. Hhe recieves her set amount and knows what she'll get every week. He didn't go get extra training to be a clerk or a janitor.
The mutual fund manager works constantly. But before he got his job, he went to college and earned at least his BA and probably his MBA (though he may have earned his MBA at night while working during the day). As you know, people do not get paid when they go to college, thus he sacrificed his wages for 4-6 years while at the same time accruing debt via a college loan.
He then puts in 50-70 hours at his investment firm job that he recieved right out of college. Aside from putting in his time at the office, he takes clients out to dinner during the week and such in which he of course does not get paid. He countinues to work tirelessly, even at home, until he finally gets the job he's wanted.
And oh, the new job he got?? He's now working harder, not less.

Host answered you last time by describing the PA aspect that forces the owners/operators of TFP to divulge information about users at any request by the gov't

1. I doubt that is true
2. How is that a loss of freedom (if true, of course) and how has the TFP suffered because of it?
