ORIGINAL: Legman1 A little socialism wont hurt us. Too few have too much and it needs to be redistributed. Multi-nationals have gutted our manufacturing and not brought the profits back. Nothing will change till we make it change. Too few have too much? Well, welcome to the real world. Life is not the idylic scene on a college campus...it's the hard work of individuals, people who made something of their lives..worked 14 hours a day...and were successful. Now, I'm not one of those people but what right does someone who fucks up their life, thinks the be all and end all is to have a six pack and Monday night football...while other people are taking risks, building companies, and wealth. And now Obama and people llike you think that too few have too much..Maybe it's because too few are using the brain that God gave them. While there is inherited wealth, mostly held by woman, by the way, America has been the land of opportunity for anyone to build a business...sometimes starting in a garage like Apple Computer...and become billionairs.What right does anyone have to "take" any part of that wealth away to give the fruits of a successful persons hard work to a loser. From Bill Gates who built Microsoft, and gave us the operating system most of us use today on our PC's and put 60,000 people to work! Michael Dell who gave jobs to 90,000 people and on and on... These people give back as well...with the Gates Foundation a huge supporter of education and research. Wealthy Wall Streeters support numerous charities that no one here bothers to research from "Harlem Children's Zone" to Columbia Presberterian Hospital..and on and on. Up until this administration, people who worked hard to achieve the American dream were encouraged. Today, taxpayers are told that they have to pay the mortgage for the guy down the street who bit off more than he could chew..or send money to strangers who fucked up their lives on drugs, or thought college was a four year paid vacation, or were just downright lazy....as well as those that are truly needy through no fault of their own but on tough times now.
