You seemed to indicate people making a higher salary should pay a higher percentage of their income in taxes, which I strongly disagree with. If you were not saying that, I apologize.

People who cry about a lack of opportunity simply are not trying hard enough.

apparently school did not teach you to read. I never ever said a higher percentage, ever.


you mean to tell me that someone who has to attend public school in south central or inner city baltimore or detroit has the same education and therefore opportunities as someone growing up in middle class suburbia? really?

No. You tell me. I don't see anything about race in that post at all.

If it is -- go help yourself to a cow or to a watermelon. After all it's your right, eh?? Farmers should be enslaved so everyone can exercise the right to eat, correct??

LOL

You are exactly right. No mention of race at all. It's only there if you make certain racist assumptions. Nice one!
