400 people control HALF the wealth in this country.
What is more important, that American children get an education, that our people get healthcare, that roads and bridges get fixed, that advanced materials research be done, that our military be supplied with the best equipment, that old people be taken care of, that our debt be paid down, that food and water be safe, that our environment be clean, or that a billionaire gets a new yacht?
Our children can get an education without spending a dime. All they need to do is read and experiment.
People can get healthcare by paying for it. After all, the only person responsible for taking care of your body is yourself.
Roads and bridges can get fixed without taking money from one group to give to another. In fact, since we all use these things, we should all be paying our fair share. Why should someone who is poor or rich be treated differently?
Any sort of research that is going to be profitable to mankind will be conducted by the Private sector.
The military can be funded by everyone sharing the burden equally. Not taking from one group to give to another.
Old people aren't incompetant. They don't need us babysitting them. They can take care of themselves. They've done it for 40+ years already. And if they need assistance, that is what children are for. And grandchildren. And Churches. and Private charities. There is absolutely no reason for anyone to be dependent on the Federal Government for their support.
Our debt wouldn't be a problem if you stopped spending and burdening the American people with heavy taxes to allow politicians to be corrupt. It's time we end that. But for some reason you oppose every action taken to get ourselves out of debt. Why?
You honestly think food and water wont be safe unless you take money from the rich to give to the Democrat campaign contributors? Seriously?
Our environment is alot more resilient than you give it credit for. Maybe you should stop attacking capitalism and accept the fact that capitalism is the greatest weapon you have in your arsenal to keep the environment clean.
So what if someone spends their money on a yacht? It's their money. They have a right to spend it or misspend it any way they want. It's called freedom. It's a principle this nation was built on. It's the very reason this nation has become the power it has.
Do you really want to put the yacht builders, the manufacturers of the yachts parts, the lumber industry, the salesman, and everyone else who worked to build that yacht out of business because you're jealous that someone can spend their money on it?
Oh, but im sure you never bother thinking about those "little" people who put their time and labor into building the yacht or any other merchanise someone with money might purchase. Why on earth should they earn a living? After all, they are providing a good and service to a "rich" person.
maybe if you stopped being so covetous and started treating everyone as a brother whether they be rich or poor, you wouldn't be so upset that people have freedom.
