I can agree with some of this, if you're an alcoholic or a junkie, you pretty much have it coming. And for clarification I stated from the get go that the rich don't have a duty to be charitable. But this isn't an issue that falls solely on responsibility and choices. Many people had a stable life then had kids; did it all proper, then their job got shipped off to some other country and all there was paid $9 an hour if they were lucky.
NAFTA. That's a Dem, Bill Clinton thing. Keep voting Dem and get what you deserve.
exploiting people for money is the oldest way to get rich. Its been seen countless times in history, why is it so preposterous to suggest its happening again?
Yep, look at the politicians, they are rich. They exploit the people.

LOL, speaking of history repeating itself. The world has a history of dictators. How did the people let that happen? By taking your money, an citizenry that believes government cares and will legislate their prosperity and by enacting laws to protect their power. When a politician ignores the constitution many will support it and laugh at anyone who tries to warn them. People ignore all kind of warning signs because they think government has their best interest at heart. As if, no it can't happen here. People who want money or power are not going to tell you. The constitution is the only thing that has protected this country from a dictatorship and people better start paying attention.

The more government tries to FORCE me to give away MY money the stingier I'll get!
By demanding to take the money "I work for" against my will is enslavement. I did not choose to have you as a child, and if you are not responsible enough to take care of yourself why should I be responsible for you?
Again, this thread reminds me of a pharmacist I know. He cries "woe is me, I'll never get to retire, woe is me". The next words sounds like rodent raiser, giving his money away then he wonders why he'll never get to retire. Connect the dots people!
The rich have a duty to protect the system which has allowed them to earn that wealth. That includes being taxed at a higher rate as the rich have more to lose.

Clinton was not the only mind behind NAFTA. I agree that it was a total shaft job, but big business was happy as a clam about it. The next administration didn't do the working class any good either. Its been a downward spiral for over 30 years
Good grief,... How to un pucker Fox Terrier.... pull the stick out of your ....!
Thanks for the advice, but there is no stick anywhere in my body.
It is, at times, almost painfully frustrating to read posts from people who have a limited comprehension of the English language.
