Wealthy People Have It So Bad In America

[Jermyn Davidson]

We need to start a college fund for the children of wealthy people.

Would you donate to the United Wealthiest College Fund?

More on class warfare.
Covetous are we?

Covetous? No.

Pointing out the obvious is not class warfare.
Pointing out the obvious is pointing out the obvious.

There is nothing wrong with being rich.
There is nothing wrong with being poor.
But to deny that there is social and economic injustice is sticking your head in the sand.

To try to address this is assailed as "socialism".

I think there are a lot of differing perspectives and views and I hold to neither a fully repulican nor democratic view on many issues. I think the democratic and repuplican parties are somewhat of a smokescreen to get people battling against each other, led by those who want to control the issues. They control the issues, they control what people debate, they control what people vote on. I'd rather think for myself and try my best to have a clear mind. I think the government created the housing bubble (whether intentionally or not is anyone's guess) and they are messing it up futher while claiming to fix it. Their (both parties) agendas are often so messed up and convoluted that there seems to be another force driving things and I believe there is. It's the federal reserve, which is neither a federal nor government entity. It's a bank run by bankers.

Since you lean toward socialism and Marxism, you find nothing wrong with forcing the wealthy to be forced to share.

Socialists like your self don't belive in charity. You believe in taking property from others to give to the needy and not giving of your own.

Thou shalt not steal.

If you think I "lean towards" socialism and Marxism, you are an idiot.

Why don't you take your, "Thou shalt not steal" to the former Enron execs, RIck Scotts and Martha Stewarts of the world. Or maybe you don't consider white collar criminals to be dishonest at all.

I don't get what your issue is here.???

People that earn a salary from hard work should have the right to be rich and keep their money.

People that are lazy and don't want to work don't have a right to expect others to give to them.

That is why America has been successful, reward those that take a chance to build a business. Many more fail than succeed, but why punish those that do succeeed?
