Whoa!!!!!!....How is this racist???

I was very poor at one time too.

If I would have had a child welfare would have been MY only choice for a while.

Thank God for birth control!!!

Please. How many welfare recipients are mentally insane drug addicts?

I have no idea what it is really is like? I am poor myself, but I work for a living and have never been on any government assistance programs. Are you saying minorities cannot work? By the way, you are so far off calling me a racist. All my friends are either Mexican, Native American or Black. In fact, I do not even have one white friend.

so what? I could care less who your friends are or aren't. That's pretty typical though my best friend is black or mexican or whatever so I can't possibly be a racist. You are the one who made that totally ignorant statement.

I never mentioned race in my thread, and you came out in your first post and called me a racist? There are lots of white people that are on welfare so I want to know why YOU came out and called me a racist?

PR BS. Any successful person will tell you that you create your own luck. When the successful say they attribute their success partly to luck, it's nothing more than empty propaganda for the sheep to eat up. It gives them a bit of humility and the sheep love humility.

Luck is a faery tale.

Before I cashed out and retired, when queried about my realtive success at a fairly young age, I always said things like "I was lucky." , or "I was blessed." Well, now that I don't have to worry about licking a customer's butt, I can speak the truth. It was 16 hour days 7 days a week that bought my toys. No lucky numbers and no gods gave me a damned thing. It was all me all the time baby.

Believe what you want. If you're lucky you could win the lottery too. Hey, statistically, if you spend $1 each week for only 9000 years you should win!
