Liberals seem to believe that it's better for everyone to be poor, for the sake of equality, than for only a minority of people to be poor.

Should success and wealth be within everyone's reach, for those who are tough and bold enough to go after it?

If all resources are spread out between millions of middle-upper class people, isn't that better than having those same resources and power shared between only a few thousand filthy rich individuals?

I mean,...we have years of examples of other Countries doing the Socialist thing and they all end up in poverty with the elites hoarding all the goods and intercepting foreign aid.

Poorer people makes it easy for centralized Gov't to control and not be afraid of some 'civilian' amassing influence that may jeopardize their rule.

Because poor people have Nothing to Lose and Everything to Gain!

Poor people are less educated and therefore mostly ignorant as to how politics really works, so they are more likely to fall for all the smoke and mirrors that the their perceived benefactors promise them - and get in line with their new Masters. The Dems are true Sociopaths - they will do, say, and promise anything and everything just to stay in power without any conscience for any damage they may cause! To hell with what The People or The Nation really needs or wants!

Trump tried to MAGA and a Great America benefits everyone. The Dems hated him for it because they want a permanent "victim" class that they can control with money and only ask for votes in return.



The American Dream is something that everyone can reach for. We don't have a class system here, yet... The American Dream is what every single immigrant legal or not comes here for and the Left would crush it with their anti American policies.



The Dems are waging a war on the Middle class and using us to lift up the poor and lazy and instead of lifting them they are lowering us.

Yep, always has and always will.

I wonder how all of the rich professional athletes supporting BLM would feel if BLM got their wish and distributed that wealth among the nearly billion souls in Africa and their wealth got dropped down to a few hundred bucks?

Like all liberals, they are hypocrites and would not like that one bit.

you will NEVER satisfy that group.. the ones who demand "equity" (watch, they dont say "equality" but "equity" two different things. Equity is being used for evil.

you can just about kill yourself for the woke culture, and you will never satisfy them.

When I work, it is always with the intention of profiting others, first. I always hope it works out for their gain.

If your business model is seeing how much you can suck out of others for your personal gain, power and status. At the expense of everyone beneath you. In the end that it is a very lonely place. As they assume strength and power at the top, while undermining their own foundation.

Which is greater, the thousandth floor of a high rise building, or the foundation it sits upon ?

What provides strength for a high rise building, the thousandth floor or the foundation ?
