I agree you are flushing your future away, but it is because you aren't pulling your weight, looking after your future. Don't worry, the money they earn is still here, and you can earn your too. It is an infinite, NOT finite pie.
I know a guy who started a small business as part of a high-school project and now is a force in the fishing tackle business. Go invent your invention, create your web site and build or sell or whatever your way into wealth, instead of crying like a baby over an unfortunate Community Chest draw.
You guys are fond of saying that the rich's attitude is "I got mine, to heck with you", but really, it is
"I got mine, and you can go get yours too".
Dude, you don't know me, don't pretend you do. I already have mine, I've been retired since I was 53, been debt free for 30 years, and by some measures I'm in the top 7% to 12% at the moment.
I started out with a paper route at 8 or 9, had several in a few years, and was actually subbing them out to others for a profit. But do tell me about "someone you know" made good, LOL. I've been there kiddo, I ran a business with 4 or 5 full time employees and dozens of sub trades. And when I had "free time" I was reconstructing the home I lived in, nine flips later I have more than I can spend in two lifetimes. I now GIVE it to bright young kids starting out to help get them out of debt. My daughter, 36, has two masters and is about to finish her PHD at Southern Florida.
But you sit there in mommy's basement dreaming about that carrot you been chasing. Keep lecturing the successful on why their not successful. I gotta get back to my 2012 tax trial runs trying to figure out how much I should pass the the tax machine. Right now I'm looking at $98k...
You rwnj's are the only whiners out there, whining about someone you don't know, will never meet, much less ever be paying a a tax rate a few percentage points higher, but much lower than during raygun's glory days
No. It's time to stop spending on the working-age able-bodied deadbeats who contribute nothing.
Who, like my 77 yo mother, small SS check, partial section 8 voucher for a one room efficiency, working two part time jobs to pay her way. You want her to ante up more, maybe take on a third job? Over the weekend the frame on her car broke and i spent the day looking for a replacement, who do you think is paying for that?
Or my 54 yo sister with cerebral palsy, no sense of balance, living on disability, section 8 voucher in a tiny public housing apartment, working in a sheltered workshop, what you want from her, she's willing.
I am about sick of you rwnj loons and your mindless bashing of the working poor, lame, and disadvantaged. A pox on your whole family, may you have to live their lives to find out how wrong you are.

Why is she more special than anyone else? Everyone can and should pay.

Maybe her apartment has a lot of 'extra special' property tax.
