Speaking of Kids. I believe that a lot of people who have Children without any money, property or future for raising and educating them, run into a lot of problems. They are eXpect others around them who are waiting or planning on children of their own - To Fund the costs for having someone else's children and medical and food and so forth.

I love Children dearly, however too many people having children with no plans, who are in debt, poverty and living from day to day, is not a great way to live Eventually the poor stay poor and the rich are not interested in forking out their money just to afford the cost of people who cant stop having unprotected sex.

Maybe you have not been reading the news, but two of the three wealthiest people on the planet are donating the vast bulk of their fortunes to charity.

What was your second-best idea for a new thread?
While the other one, who made his billions by overcharging people to use the telephone in Mexico, has used a tiny fraction of his wealth to control America's leading newspaper.

I'm not talking about people with a couple hundred thousand, or even a couple million dollars.

Is there any reason why one individual should have a billion dollars?

The whole "trickle down" theory is obviously NOT working as it's supposed to. The wealth trickles down at a drip and a flood is needed.

Many of these ultra-rich people do not even operates businesses and pay employees. They simply move investments around and hoard the money.

I think something needs to be done about this. What do you think? This has been getting more and more out of control in recent years.


Bernie, is that you?

Yet the Republican Party wants no abortions, no birth control paid for by insurance, no affordable child care.
If you want these people off welfare someone needs to teach these ignorant people that having more kids isn't in their best interest. Then you have a problem after these unwanted kids are brought into this world with abuse and neglect. Who's going to pay? Viscous cycle......

Tell us exactly how money will end poverty and suffering across the globe?

Zuckerberg gave Newark, NJ 100 million dollars just for education. Newark has so far squanderd several hundred thousand dollars to date.

Give my impoverished cousin 10K dollars and in 6 months he will be impoverished again.

Perhaps there is a point of diminishing return when cash is the sole solution to a social..... or economic problem for that matter.

Teach a man to fish, you feed him for life, hand him a fish and you feed him for a day. the liberals have chosen the wrong part of that lesson to follow.

Oh yeah, that makes perfect sense. Take it away from those that produce and give it to those that don't. Honestly I have to wonder how some of you people manage to make it out the door, probably you don't, you just stay right there in Mom's basement and save the world.

What kind of business would that be?

I'd like to buy un-pasturized milk, but that's as illegal as pot.

In Colorado, it is MORE illegal than pot.

Yeah, if Bernie had more money, he could hire black people to wash his underpants, which would free him up for more profitable work.
