True, but the left gives the Clintons a free pass while bashing other rich families. I set my son up with a nice welding rig and sold him my house for next to nothing. He understands that he got his inheritance early. My girls will get the houses my wife and I own abroad along with any cash assets or investments that we have left over. LOL my youngest daughter did a spread sheet based upon how frugal I am. I have to admit she wasn't off by much from what I have planned.

Plenty of people would like to sit in a plush office, or "design their own line of clothing" and so on, instead of flipping burgers.

Those flipping burgers day in and day out often end up being "unwilling to work," while the likes of Ivanka rarely do.
You might say "oh, but Ivanka is doing this job because of her "natural abilities," and those who are forced to do those menial jobs are there because they can't "design clothes."



But how do you REALLY KNOW? We really don't know, who is truly-genuinely is capable of what, since people's situation in life in many ways determined by the monetary background of their respective families, in which people are born.



Ever watched the "Trading Places?"
As "lefty" as this movie was, it's sure a food for a thought.
Hmm.

My views are all over the spectrum, and I never really thought of it as a 'lefty movie'.

It is one of my favorite movies of all time though, for a number of reasons.

When it was first released in theaters, I was dating a girl who was a lot like a blonde version of Penelope (Winthorpe's girlfriend before 'the bet'). My friends teased me about it.

Did Kennedy work for tips and hourly wages? Did FDR?

No. Did they demonize the working poor? Or even the poor in general?

No, but Republicans aren't demonizing the poor either. Is refusing to support half of America's daycare costs demonizing poor? That would be the same as saying those who are opposed to illegal immigrants are racist. (Oh, wait.....)

You can argue against a certain program but in another way, yes it is. Republicans boo when the idea of subsidized child care comes up but give Trump a standing ovation when he pushes Federal Paid Family Leave.

Helping families shouldn't be about politics. There is no need to make the crack Ivanka did either.
