Ah ha, but what about the other blue collar families who are still bringing themselves up? Are they 'less deserving' just because they took longer to climb out than you did?
Yes.
Why do we continue to reward failure and fail to praise success?

i think that a dollar should be taxed as a dollar regardless of who is holding it and how many they have
no kidding....Shit, I'm going to have to make another bag of popcorn here...
i can dig this point of view - i'm pretty much only motivated to make as much as i need.It might seem odd to you, but for some of us it isn't all about the Benjamins.
i truncated so my post wasn't forever long, but i'm glad you posted this - i think you get stereotyped more than anyone else on this board, like it is assumed you're a silver spoon kind of guy or something. glad you set that straight, and i can see how you have arrived at your opinions. rep if i could.And now, for my real-world and why i hate the system:
but I wouldn't mind at all if it was going to a struggling family or young adult who's trying, but just can't get a break.
and lol on the illuminati. CCW permits all around, i want more of us to balance out the thugs, plz.Well folks. Buy your guns now before there's a tax on them. That said. I'm applying for my CCW permit, because I'm not sure that right is going to be available in a few months, especially with the way the House has turned.
Just remember, the Illuminati still runs the country.
excellent reason to pass on that islandI know it was a few pages ago, but I'm against this island. It's too close to Antarctica.
EDIT: I wonder what it'd be like if Nadar actually won lol.
B, you got the wrong idea about aquiring this island. Ammo is cheaper than land, and I bet all the gun owning HS'ers could run all the ppl off a small island, no problem. I'll lead the invasion and reconstruction.
No where.. I don't know how we can change this country around.
one of those things that gets easily forgotten, thanks for the reminder!mlk jr was a republican, yes that mlk.
we would all kill each other within a week of attaining said island.
I like sifting through this thread. Nothing has been done, but everyone is pulling the sky is falling stuff already.
i've been preaching this to you clowns for the last 5 years.I will be starting a collection to buy a small island somewhere where the corrupt western wolrd will not effect. $100,000 reserves you a spot.
Oh, how are you enjoying everyone else's money driving that M on all those PUBLIC roads?
public roads are paid for by local gas taxes, car license fees and drivers license. only a small portion is paid for with other taxes. schools get most of the tax and lotto money. thats why every time a ballot for new schools and improvements comes up, i vote no. i don't have kids and i dont' want to raise taxes.Road maintenance is something that taxpayer money should be used for. Living expenses for career welfare individuals? Not so much...
plus, those who get educated tend to get higher jobs and pay more taxes. it's win-win for the government.Student/Gov't loans I have no problem with. You're actually making the gov't money by paying interest after graduation.
I also have 0 problems with scholarships. I think if you're smart enough that people want to pay your way, all I ask is that you actually try while you're there, and make a difference when you're out.
hell, it's not that hard to find a fucking boat or bus to get you somewhere. you want motivation, look at our great grandparents. just like b said. take a backpack and some granola bars and bounce. hit the streets and make something of yourself. watch the movie "persuit of happyness". live in the gutter and work hard.Frankly, if you're not happy, or you can't find a job there, or the housing is too expensive there, MOVE! It's really that simple. No jobs here? move to a place that has one for you.
Houses are too much in cali for you? MOVE to a place you can afford to live in.
Can't afford to move? save up for a couple years until you can. That's how our grandparents did it.
