i have said this before myself, myself being in the bottom of income levels, not poor because i make sound decisions with what money i have, however, i believe that tax should be equal across the board, i dont believe that rich people should pay a higher percentage just cause they have more, example: just because bill gates created the most popular comp. program ever in windows and has reaped a mega-fortune, that he should pay more percentage than myself.. it should be a set tax rate for all, not 10 percent for poor and 50 percent for rich, it should be the same for all..

Well, I guess you are a selfish So&So! Did you ever hear that some people are poor because they have been badly hurt in an accident or have a mental learning problem and can't work.
Gee, I know those that are poor will try to help another poor person, but most of the rich keep their money. I guess they think they can take with them when they die.

Because alot of wealthy people tend to be greedy and conceded, thinking they are better than "poor" men. Who cares about who's offering who a job, how about everyone being nice to each other for a change.

But on the other hand, how many poor people ever laid off 17,000 people because he only made $3.8 billion profit, instead of the $4.1 billion he promised to Wall St*.

how many rich men are rich from employing poor people... all of them...
if there were no poor, there would be no workers to make the rich men rich...
that guy that offered you the job can't run his whole sweatshop by himself... and without the workers... he's just another poor guy with no job... and you wouldn't have a job, because there would be no poor people to boss around...

It must be difficult having the color of your skin the only thing to be proud of. Maybe if you go to a trade school or something you might be able to compete with the unskilled immigrants. Was your Father a loser or are you a first generation loser?

How many poor men have laid me and my brothers off so they could award themselves $200 million bonuses?
How many poor men have promised me a pension for 30 years of faithful work, only to tell me at retirement the money was embezzled and I get nothing now?
How many poor men have gouged me at the gas pump while making obscene profits with the collusion of the government I elected?
How many ditches has Donald Trump dug PERSONALLY?
How many lawns have YOU mowed?
How many Hispanic children have you raised? How many Hispanics have raised YOUR kids?
The coin has two sides. Only a blind man sees only one or the other.

Because for some reason people feel entitled to things that they did not earn, work for, or inherit. They whine and moan instead of trying harder to obtain the things they want. "Rich people" are just another group to blame for their own inadequacies.
