Two Americas: Spenders and Savers/Investors

I'm sure it does too. If these mean-spirited rich could just do more. Perhaps pay their fair share to create a better tomorrow for all.

We need to start educating our children in gradeschool too so they can be enlightened and understand why they should work a little harder and pay a little more so others can enjoy their standard of living too.

I am one of those now grown up school children who worked harder and pulled herself up out of poverty. I, unlike you, don't mind paying my fair share of taxes and giving other children the opportunities to live in a great country that cares for them and provides them a chance to attend good schools, get free lunch at school, maybe even a scholarship. That is part of being grateful to God for the good life that you have. To be a Christian, MrPlunkey, you sure have an overabundance of pride and little sense of charity.

Please provide a link where I claim to be a Christian.

I figured a super high-power lawyer such as yourself would have picked that up over the past few weeks.

You aren't? Weren't you giving AAP crap about being gay and spewing a bunch of hatred? Maybe I have you confused with one of your ilk. You tend to all run together in my mind.

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

Yeah, its in there.

Promote...not provide.

The government wasnt created so it can do things for us, it was created to give us an environment where we can do things for ourselves.

Its in there.

Yeah, in order to defend an institution you obviously have to be a member of it in the first place. Are you absolutely sure you are a lawyer?

And yeah, your type tends to run together in my mind too -- so no worries there either.

That sounds like an ingenious economic system.

They should really give it a try in another country and see how it works out.

That's the difference between a wealthy person and a wannabe baller AKA poor guy trying to look rich. One has nothing to prove the other is just trying to raise his status.

To do anything less would be greedy, mean-spirited, and non-Christian.

I think this is where we dont see eye to eye.

I have no problem whatsoever giving back. I give more back than many people I know...and not only because it keeps my taxes down.

What I have a problem with is the government making these decisions for me.

I should be able to give back the dollar amount I want to the organizations I choose to support.
