Meanwhile the church spends billions because of pedophiles....why couldn't that money be better spent on the poor...
why does government have to do it....what about the billionaires that don't do anything to help....
SORRY...just a real sore spot for me...the wealthiest ignore those that could use help...the ones that helped make them the wealthiest!!!!!


It's the "I Got Mine, Screw You" syndrome of the Rich.


The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral
philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.

redistribute wealth to the poor in a new spirit of generosity to help curb the

Quoted Text
NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll:
"By 63% to 35%, Republicans believe that the United States is a country where anyone
can succeed, regardless of background.

Democrats, by a 69% to 29% margin, disagree saying the widening income gap undermines
that idea.

Independents side with Democrats, 62% to 34%."

What is the definition of success?

Going to a country thousands of miles away to squeeze off a few rounds at people that never threatened me or my family, then come home to work at a union job, to retire and collect a pension is not my definition of success.  It maybe for some.  But all in all, the question is bullshit.

Success is different for everyone so basically the question is BS, I was successful in landing a halfway decent job, I won't be successful in becoming a billionaire, so going by that should I say no or yes when asked if I am successful?

Don't point out the subjective nature of the question.  It will only confuse them.

success  
noun
1.
the favorable or prosperous termination of attempts or endeavors; the accomplishment of one's goals.

ONE'S GOALS(individual)

2.
the attainment of wealth, position, honors, or the like.

DEPENDING ON ONE'S DEFINITION OF ABOVE(individual)

3.
a performance or achievement that is marked by success, as by the attainment of honors

DEPENDING ON ONE'S DESIRE TO PERFORM LIKE A DOG FOR OTHERS APPROVAL (individual)

4.
a person or thing that has had success, as measured by attainment of goals, wealth, etc.

DEPENDING ON ONE'S ACCEPTANCE OF THE PROJECTED JUDGEMENT OF OTHERS AS COMPARED TO
THEIR OWN PERSONAL ACHIEVEMENTS (individual)




so the polls mean SH!T as does the government's stamp of value upon the classes.....along with the
tax code.


...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......

I want to know when he think he's reached what his fair share is and when everyone else looks to him like they have reached their
fair share limit?

because in the end some F'EN entity will make that determination ALL THE TIME.....no matter how liberal they are

Who are "the rich"???

Is a millionaire ...a billionaire? Is it ALL of them, or just the ones that vote GOP?
Is it a trust fund baby? Is it people that just inherited it, like 90% of the Kennedy family?
Is it world class athletes? Is it Hollywood?
