Know why there's such a disparity between rich and poor?
Because there is the same, exact disparity between smart and stupid.
Yes, you people that are in here daily and bitching about how 'The Man' has kept you down on an hourly basis.....?
You're stupid.
Instead of bitching about how something is always someone else's fault, you could be spending your time doing something about your very own stupidity.
And no, I don't mean getting an education. If those people had any brains, they wouldn't be putting up with numbskulls like you every day, grading your stupid papers and bouncing crybaby losers on their knee.
If they had any real brains, they'd be out doing something real.
Which is what you crybabies should be doing.
And oh... I'm retired. In Florida. I paid my dues. I ain't rich, but I ain't crying either.
Sick of hearing excuses all day from the same ******* losers. DO something about it
In reality rhe reason Koch brothers are rich is because they are rich
I cannot make millions because I do not have billions to invest
Liberals think they should give that money to others
my simple question is then what?
Being wealthy is not a sin
staying wealthy takes work and welath to start with
its just the facts of life
No, it isn't a 'fact of life'.
Like how Man can't fly? No wait, we can. We do.
Or how Man can't live underwater? Hang on a second, we can and we do.
Some people inherit wealth, some just get lucky. But an awful lot of people that are rich?
They earned it.
Take a look at our (real) GDP in the year 2000. 11 Trillion Dollars.
In 2013 it will be close to 14 Trillion.
That is an increase of 3 Trillion dollars. Divide that by our total number of households, app 115,000,000.
So let's see, remove 6 zeros and divide by 115 = $26,000 PER HOUSEHOLD INCREASE in GDP!!
That's a lot.
What I'm saying is this... The amount of money in our system is not static. It is increased every year (unless there's a dimocrap dirtbag holding things back) and that money gets spread around. A lot.
Some call it 'trickle down', which is inaccurate and some call it what it is -- Free Market Capitalism. Money never stays in one place for very long.
libtards think that the amount of money in a system is static. That there is only so much to go around and, for that reason, they prefer the Horse and Sparrow method of income redistribution.
Rich People? I don't like 'em. Most of them. I've met some (and I'm talking billionaires) that if they sat down next to you and started drinking a beer with you, you'd never know they're a billionaire. They don't care.
But even though I don't particularly care for rich, I understand the need for them. It's like the bacteria that is always present in your stomach. I don't like it, but you can't live without it.
Rich people are a necessary evil in a Free Society. Hurt them and you kill the Free Market.
Like our communist pals don't already know that.
And that is why communism always, always, always fails and why it WILL always, always, always fail. Not because communists are stupid and should be shot on sight. That much is a given. But because they stifle the minds and creativity of people who are, quite frankly, much smarter than them.
You don't have to like rich people. But we do have to acknowledge the necessity of having them around.
