Default Re: Let me tell you a story

Typical ignorant upper class drivel. Almost everybody with a lot of money was born into a lot of money, and half of the people who got rich themselves did so by luck or illigal activities.

It doesn't take into account the people working two or three jobs and still struggling to make it. It doesn't take into account the unfortunate or the ill without health care. It doesn't cover a lot of people and lumps everybody who isn't rich into one clump of lazy and carefree people.

In addition, the Pro-Republican implications are just silly. None of the Democratic cantidates have proposed tax hikes for those who can't afford it (the middle class and lower) whereas Republicans are trying to pass a bill at the moment that will double income taxes for a select group of middle class wage earners (~$50,000 a year) with multiple children. Republicans who still believe in benefiting the rich and in turn the less wealthy with a "trickle down" (or Horse and Sparrow) economy are delusional.
