Where Do You Stand? With the Rich or Middle Class?

[Pray_4_War]

To the people that think we need to be taxed more, do you actually believe that the govenment manages money well?  Are you happy with the return that you have gotten on that investment?  How much is enough?  At what point will you declare the tax rates high enough and start holding the .gov accountable for how they manage it?

The only way to encourage real growth and truly stimulate the economy is to let people work for themselves and not the government.  Let them keep more of their own money.  The government is filled with crooks that can't and won't solve our problems.   The sooner you get that through your head the better off we will all be.

This country in small steps is progressing to socialist type society. The successful are made to be villains. The only rich people liberals have no problems with are athletes and entertainers.

And what do the poor have in the US?  Well, let's see:

- A home, thanks to subsidized housing provided by the government
- A car, and/or access to transportation
- Access to educational opportunities
- Food...obesity is an epidemic amongst ALL Americans...no one has died from starvation in the US in recent memory
- Medical Care....you get sick, you can go to a hospital and get treated.....broke or not, insured or not.
- Employment.  There is ALWAYS work to be had.  Unemployment is the option of choice for the lazy or the proud or the gravely ill.

Being poor is a direct consequence of inadequate education and/or vocational skills.  Why care who is rich and what percentage are rich?  What are exactly these roadblocks that supposedly exist that keep millions of American in squalor?  Give me a valid reason as to how or why any person in America are unable to obtain all of the above?  Who exactly stands in the way?

" Why care who is richt and what percentage are rich"

In a perfect world that would not be of importance. However, if only the rich profit from the economic growth then something is wrong.

Access to education? I never knew that Yale was for free

The rich need to be taxed so that money can be invested back into the middle class (in the form of jobs preferably) because obviously they haven't been doing it of their own volition.
