This is just fantasy. Welfare is the smallest it's been in decades. What stats are you looking at to arrive at this fictional belief that welfare recipients are ever increasing.

When voting for the next President, Income Inequality is not only NOT in my Top 10 Issues list, I don't even think it's a real issue. I do feel sorry for other people who think they'll be better off in life if someone else would only have less anything.


but these people only parrot
what the left tells them to parrot
they are incapable of thinking for themselves
of course this is NOT a real issue
but neither is
hands up don't shoot
but they bought it
hook
line
and SUCKER!!!

there no inequality of pay in america, i am nowhere near close to the middle but you get paid for what you are worth doing the job you been assign. arguing that you deserved more, because of your race, sex, family is just a cop out.

you want more money, get a job, get a education, get a skill, get off your ass, but don't come crying just because you was dealt a bad hand, get over it

Why do you feel that wealth is "distributed"?

In time this will help with income.......but, the tax advantage starts at day one.

Buy only what you NEED........forget toys.

Invest that money in yourself.

Don't just look at today......have a five and ten year plan.

It also helps not to have children......or, at least have them later in life.
You are a smart woman!

We delayed having children for ten years. In that time, we established our careers and bought a home.
