Last time I checked school is already paid for everyone for 12 years, is that not enough?
And you make poor choices by having children before your ready and others should pay for that? Take responsibility of your actions.
I didn't start out ahead of the game in this life, I have carved out a little piece of the pie for myself and my wife. We live within our means and expect nothing from others. Stop complaining about others success and work for your own.
That wouldn't be a problem if they taught a skill in those 12 years. They don't. Either they need to make college/tech school free so every citizen has a chance to start a career not buried in debt from 4 years of college or they need to give each citizen part of the cut. Nobody needs to pay for anything just share what is rightfully ours since they got to where they are off OUR backs.

Wealth can be earned, go earn it and put your hand in your own pockets. Your views on this would turn 180 if you won the lottery today and people started attacking you for your money.
Daycare has always been expensive. Kids in general are expensive. Get a 2nd job. It will help tremendously. Get hired onto a trucking company and they will front your CDL tuition.
You can make it if YOU want to. Throw any situation out and there will be a non handout solution.
I worked 3 jobs and my own side business for a while. Its not easy, but its doable.
Have the wife find a job that pays for school. Again, it will be hard, but its doable.
Would love to get hired on to a company that would help me get my class a its actually what I want to do.Problem is we would have nothing coming in then. We would be broke...Wife's job ends when tax season ends in a few weeks....just seems to be no full time work out there right now....
Hate them? Love them? Think they should share their wealth? Think they should horde their wealth and not care about humanity and those less fortunate than themselves?
I personally can't stand anyone who is rich...new cars,new homes,snobby attitude. Personally think the top 1% need to share the wealth there is no reason people need that much money while people go hungry and homeless in this country. What say you?
if you spend your life worried about what others have then you will never be happy.

Yes. Try living off of 10k a year.
You can more than 10k a year working minimum wage, I think your not trying hard enough. Many make it with only a high school education. Perhaps you can work and go to community college, that is what I did. It is not expensive. I have no sympathy for you, do something to change your situation instead of complaining your life isn't fair. And how is others success rightfully yours? You have no right to others success.
Neither one. How much wealth someone has does not determine their quality as a human being.

If they want. Normally when someone asks if you think they should share their wealth it translates to if you think the government should confiscate their wealth. The answer to that is no. I think the crony capitalism that enables some people to gain incredible wealth at the expense of others should be eliminated. But the solution of keeping all the loopholes and rigged regulations in place and then just upping the tax rate doesn't solve the problem and punishes those people who acquired their wealth ethically.

Again, if that's what they want to do then sure. Who are you or I to tell someone else what they need to care about? It's a free country.

That is what is called bigotry. For some reason there are lots of liberals who think it's only bigotry to be prejudiced based on race, sex, or sexual orientation. That is false. Being prejudiced based on ideology, occupation, hobbies, or in your case wealth is also bigotry.

It doesn't matter what they need. There's no reason people need to watch football. Should we ban it? There's no reason people need to eat roast beef. Should be ban it? It doesn't matter if people need to acquire wealth. If they want to do it, then they are free to do it.
the rich and the poor are destined for strong opinionated themes because they are the extremes of the system. ....rationally for a fair birds eye view even-steven estimation you gotta eliminate the opinion of each, from each view and allow only the middle class vote to avoid a bias...so my bet for today is, from that middle class vote the end result will be ....most rich people are un-likable for good reasons and only many poor people are unlikable for good reason.....so whats the reasoning here ? People right across the board are opinionated and that includes the middle class....therefore since even the middle class are bias towards themselves they are prone to approve of themselves and slant the extremes. Why many rich are unlikeable..? because its their doing if you need to ask the question relative to whatever prompted the curiosity. Takers will always be takers and to get really really wealthy you gotta be a taker...if it was all given well all yuh got is a very unlikable who's outta touch with the mean and therefore reality , relative to everyone else....so the saying goes born with a silver spoon. The good news is that the rich need a good rag dolling from time to time and the question self qualifies itself.
