Here's the best answer I can provide on short notice.George, TM, who exactly is keeping you down, and how?
The earth would be a paradise without humans.
Such fucking whining about how the evil rich people screwed you over.
Can anyone tell me how their life would be better if the fucking government took all the money those evil rich people have? Or are you really lamenting your own failure and seeking solace in blaming someone else for your fuck ups?
I believe it's the latter.
That's your problem. Why should anyone else have to pay for it?If I had to pick one word responsible for my condition, it would probably be fear.George, TM, who exactly is keeping you down, and how?
The top 1% of incomes that own 90% of everything has always screwed-over the other 99% less fortunate. So what's your point?
The most recent example is the wealthy moving 14,000 factories overseas. Now we have 10% unemployment and a growing underclass, all thanks to the DC whores who rake in lobbyist donations for their votes.
Tax bias?That's your problem. Why should anyone else have to pay for it?If I had to pick one word responsible for my condition, it would probably be fear.George, TM, who exactly is keeping you down, and how?

I have some problems with the whole scheme of things myself. First govrnment would be better if we took all the money the rich had, and redistrbute to all Americans. How are your going to stimulate the economy if the money isn't in circulation?? Hmm? Same thing with the Stock market, disolve that bitch that is destroying America.
My problem here is that Amerian workers claim to be these rugged individuals that don't need any government help, yet they laid around for three years now with never a thought to save themselves. Meanwhile the Unions who are not weak, who are organized and self-sufficient, are working right along. And yet you slugs of society critize them for having living wage jobs, the very reason people work,...and for stimulating the economy with their money.
Why don't these bums gather and start a business? Put an ad in the paper and get some people to stop being weaklings and start controlling their own destiny, start a business and get off the dole. Or go overseas and get a job.
Instead we have the loafers getting free paydays off the backs of the middle class.
imagine if hyperinflation turned every $10 bill in your possession into a $5?)

The economy or what people do with their money is not the government's business.

Many people made bad choices all on their own and they should be allowed to suffer the consequences of those choices all on their own. I never took out a mortgage i couldn't afford. I never refinanced my house every time the value went up. I never maxed out all my credit cards. I save almost 30% of my monthly income for the future because I live well below my means.
There are a lot of people out there like me who feel it's not our responsibility to bail out the fucking idiots who don't know how to run a budget.

I ask people all the time why they don't take responsibility for their own lives. And I never get an answer I only get whining.
ed...GeorgePhillip asks us to
imagine if hyperinflation turned every $10 bill in your possession into a $5?)
George... I don't have to imagine that.
When I was a kid a dime bought a loaf of bread.
That same loaf is now about $3.
Very few people's incomes have really kept up with inflation in the last 40 years.
You're flailing, boy. Nobody owes you anything because you're a chickenshit.Tax bias?That's your problem. Why should anyone else have to pay for it?If I had to pick one word responsible for my condition, it would probably be fear.

I started working full time in the mid 60s.
Ten years later, one single minimum wage job enabled me to pay rent on a brand new one bedroom apartment and maintain a 6 year old Chevy Malibu.
At that time the apartment rented for $175/month.
Today it would rent for ten times that amount.
I haven't been able to afford a one bedroom apartment or a car of any age since 1993, and I see things getting much worse.
There is one last, vast store of wealth Wall Street has yet to get its hands on, and that's Social Security and private pensions.
Slick Willie apparently had Social Security in his sights after repealing Glass-Steagall.
Luckily for most of us Monica and the blue dress came to our rescue.
Obama may well have the same "success" with Social Security "Reform" as he had with health care.
Not chickenshit enough to kill children for money.You're flailing, boy. Nobody owes you anything because you're a chickenshit.Tax bias?That's your problem. Why should anyone else have to pay for it?
Why are you changing the subject, George? We're discussing why you're wrong for thinking the world owes you a living because you're too scared to make your own way.Not chickenshit enough to kill children for money.You're flailing, boy. Nobody owes you anything because you're a chickenshit.Tax bias?
How many times in your "life" has someone pointed a gun at you and threatened to use it?
More than once?
Twice??

Yup. I remember those days, too.
The problem here is that we are too often talking to kids who truly do not understand what life reall used to be like.
Well that and they cannot imagine that their life is their life and cannot be duplicated, of course.
Take Skull pilot, for example.
I don't doubt that the man worked for everything he has.
What he apparently has difficulty understanding is that many people worked just as hard but for one reason or the other, didn't have his string of successes.
Its the WILLIE MAYS school of thinking.
Since Willie Mays made it as a BLACK MAN, why didn't ALL BLACK men make it?
Basically what they're doing is living in (and demanding that we join them in, too) denial.
It's a conceit, you see, to assume such a preposterous thing as:
I made ergo, everybody can make it.
That's so obviously absurdly untrue than one must assume that they're either dumber than hammers or simply being provocative so they can remind us how successful they've been.
Not everybody has the same ANYTHING, so claiming that we ALL have the same chances in life is just pure self agrandizing, right wing bullshit.
You call me a coward for admitting I've felt fear at times in my life and then accuse me of changing the subject?Why are you changing the subject, George?

I believe the world owes me full compensation for my labor.
I don't believe capitalism pays workers the full value of their labor.
That's largely where private fortunes come from.
Are you too scared to debate these issues without resorting to personal insults?

There are, of course, things in one's life that one must take responsibility for.
There are also things that are completely outside one's ability to change.
This is so obvious that I often wonder why people like you post statements that apparently insist otherwise.
My slave comment was out of bounds in this context.You call me a coward for admitting I've felt fear at times in my life and then accuse me of changing the subject?Why are you changing the subject, George?

You're not paying attention. I asked you what's keeping you down, and you said your fear.
Oh, and calling me a slave isn't a personal insult? Hypocrite.
