rich vs poor
« on: October 30, 2009, 11:22:48 AM »
The rich are spending their money against health care reform.
Calling the poor underserving lazy lower class citizens.
I say we take 50% of every billionaires wealth and a your welcome card.

Have you heard of the "Golden Rule", not the one about theating people nicely but the one about"Them's thats got the gold makes the rules".  That's what the rich are doing, making the rules.

Well good luck lookin for that gold.  Seems that you are in hog heaven with the way of thinking that you have.  I like that.  I think that it is fair to say that you probably support Obama, being as he is a socialist and you make socialist comments.  2010.  It cannot come fast enough.  And if you believe in Mayan calendars...2012.

Ignorance is bliss huh?   

I love your plan about finding gold. After you spend the money on buying a medal detector, put in the time and effort to find the gold, spend money to secure the rights to the gold, spend more money on equipment and hiring people to mine the gold, then setting up a way to sell the gold, would in the be ok for me since I have no gold to use the police power of government (guns) to take what you have? After all the only reason you got rich was because you were lucky. It had nothing to do with the effort you put in to it. It isn't fair that you got lucky and I didn't. It is people like you and your attitude, the looters, that are destroying this country more so then anyone

these folks already cough up half or more of their income in taxes. Im far from wealthy, not even middle class by standards, but I can tell you Ive never got a job from a poor man. Most rich people reinvest their money in business which builds the economy and produces jobs. America has become a lay on your ass society that wants a handout. Food stamps,Gov housing, health care. Sorry, I dont want the podunks in washington to feed me,house me and care for me when I have the sniffles.

As far as Poor undesreving lazy lower class citizens,LAZY being the key word, well, if the shoe fits as they say.

Well stated jack.  I agree with everything that you said.  And Squid, you are right.  It is the people like ringo that are making this country worse than what it should be.  The problem is that everyone is looking for a hand out.  I have never asked anyone for anything.  I don't buy frivolous things, I spend my money to live.  The G.W. stimulus check, it was okay.  I knew that it would not stimulate a thing, but it was a good try.  The theory was there.  I took my $600 and was able to buy me an XBOX 360.  Thanks government.  There is a huge illustration there.  I would not buy one with my own money because it was not high on the scale of important things to pay for.  But involve the government, and I go and get the damn XBOX 360.   When everyone is sitting around waiting for the government to buy them EVERYTHING(not just an XBOX), where is the money going to come from?  What incentive does the "rich" or "corporate" man have to continue to be rich when everyone else is getting it for free?  And when they stop working and the businesses in this country shut down, where does the free money come from?  Just curious.  And when there is no money to be found, there will be nothing but mass violence, chaos and the great United States will become a third world country that religious zealots in China will be airing commercials about little Joann, who has no mother and 4 brothers that she takes care of, no food, there will be a suggestion that the watcher donate money to the fund so that the little American child can eat. 

Sad..The only thing the government that is in power right now wants to do is destroy all American values and rights.  So they may take control.

And all because of thought processes common to ringo's.

A few stats you got to look at in Canada and the USA around all income tax the government collects 35% of the rich people contribute to 65% of of cash collected ( from personal to the companies they own or run) !

Do not bite the hand that feeds you is what US and Canadian governments use for foresight.

Note all the people participated in taking advantage of the monitory screw up we are all recovering from world wide. 

The way I see it everyone is pointing fingers but forgetting one main point!  For any one to point a finger they have three or more of their own fingers pointing back at themselves.

All this pointing by people and no curing going on.  In poker you have to be honest to the bone with some hands to be able to win!  Everyone wants to win here without doing the first step to be able to win! ;)

I really like this quote and it seems fitting here.

@jackdog

Things like health care are nescesarry i think
I am from  a country where they have it, and we are far more
healthy than the average of america with a lot less deaths (caused
by disceases or sickness)
why don't have health care while the inmates have free house, food
and the best medical treatment there is!
just retarded!

Hey Paul Harvey Jr. sounds just like his dad.   And healthcare might be nice where you are from Mikey, but that is probably because your military is second rate and the unemployment rate must be 40% or higher.  You live in a welfare country, obviously because the government provides healthcare, so most people probably do not see the need in working when the govt. will give them all they need.  People in prison get the things they do in exchange for the freedom to get out and live the American dream and earn a living a provide for your family.  They are stripped from the ability to make something of themselves.  Healthcare is a service, a good, not a right.  The founding fathers did not say that we were endowed by certain unalienable ( big word meaning cannot take away from you) rights, oh and healthcare.  That is not there the last time that I checked.  Not in the constitution, not in the Bill of Rights.
