Used to be, now I think it is two countries.Oh, and did I mention? Despite never having any experience in government, he beat 17 of the best Republicans and the "smartest woman in the world", and became President.
Is this a great country or what?

There will always be some who can't. My nephew is autistic and will never be independent. A charity can also be cancer research or a museum.
Your family lives in your country so improving the country improves their lives.I see, so it's ok to give the money to total strangers, just not your family. Because they should earn it.
The real question is, what kind of country do we want? If wealth is accumulated generation after generation we'll have a society like Medieval Europe. A hereditary upper class/nobility that owns and a lower class that works for them. I'd prefer to live in a meritocracy.Let's leave people to make their own decisions, you get into muddy water when you try to make their decisions for them.
Most of my decisions are made for me, I'm married. Actually, society makes many decisions for me: speed limits, zoning, public transportation, taxes, schools, etc.Do you want someone making your decisions for you?
If you divide all the money in the world into equal pie slices, one for everyone in the world, that would be a big shakeup. Inevitably, those who know what to do with money will still control it after the lefties blow all their windfall on gold wheels and gold teeth. Those who never had it will drink and gamble it away, within a short time. In a short time, it would be like the equal pie slice wealth redistribution thing never even happened.So you think the children of the rich will also be rich? Ivanka, Don Jr., and Eric would all be billionaires? Would Trump be a billionaire today if daddy had not given him millions to get started?
People who make their wealth by ability, gambling, or luck are welcome to it and they can spend it as they please. Just don't give it all to the kids to create a nobility. Each generation should make their own way.
Whenever I watch Fox, all I see are commercials for gold coins, at least gold wheels and gold teeth are more fun.If you divide all the money in the world into equal pie slices, one for everyone in the world, that would be a big shakeup.

Validating your racism? Not a chance.I'm glad to see you do not dispute my post. Thank you for validating it.

It may be a draw, but you miss the point, it is not the 'givers' I have a problem with, it is there 'taker' offspring.Who do you think improves the country the most, the givers or the takers?
No argument there but it is still far from perfect.You live in the best country on earth, it's easy to complain while kicked back in luxury.
You earned them, you spend them.Who decides what you do with your profits? Who's going to decide what to do with them when you die? Are you going to leave them all for charity?
So if your parents left you money, you would refuse it right?It may be a draw, but you miss the point, it is not the 'givers' I have a problem with, it is there 'taker' offspring.
And never will be.No argument there but it is still far from perfect
You earned them, you spend them.
/------/$10 Trillion in tax cut give aways, no taxes paid by major corporations, $700 Billion in annual subsidies to oil companies.
When did the haves, stop having?
Lefties always have their eyes on other people's money. In my opening post, I presented a solution that would make lefties stop worrying about everybody else's money. I also presented why lefties will STILL have their eyes on everyone else's money, even if you give lefties what they want.It may be a draw, but you miss the point, it is not the 'givers' I have a problem with, it is there 'taker' offspring.
If we had the same tax structure for peasants before the Reagan Tax Cuts and changes to the tax brackets, inflation adjustments and such, revolution may have occurred by now.$10 Trillion in tax cut give aways, no taxes paid by major corporations, $700 Billion in annual subsidies to oil companies.
When did the haves, stop having?
We should all refuse but until that day, no.So if your parents left you money, you would refuse it right?
I do and I've taken good financial care of them all their lives. They are educated and have no student loans to worry about so their start in life has been relatively painless. Doesn't mean I have to leave them a huge sum on top of that when I go (but not really an issue, alas).Just curious, do you have children?

Please get down off you ideological high horse. The Right wants the exact same thing. You don't want women to have abortions, you want everyone to be able to walk around my neighborhood carrying a gun of any type; just 2 examples.You want everyone else to do things your way. Typical lefty think.
You care more about money than you do about people, typical righty think.You have your eyes on everyone else's money, typical lefty think.
It's not the world we live in. Yet.What happen to, each generation should earn their way?
Go earn your own paycheckPlease get down off you ideological high horse. The Right wants the exact same thing. You don't want women to have abortions, you want everyone to be able to walk around my neighborhood carrying a gun of any type; just 2 examples.
