[The Madcap]

Nearly 2 hours and only 7 replies... the truth must hurt.

More like hardworking successful people no longer see the point in wasting their time arguing with commie idiots.

In a country of 300 million different people, where some are interested in money and others interested in living a simple life, where some are smarter and some are dumber, where some are motivated and some are visionless, where some are diligent and others are lackadaisical, well when that type of diversity exists, as well as the freedom and responsibility to choose one's life path, you're going to have a country where with a wide variety of income levels are spread across the economic ladder.

The USA has the most millionaires of any country in the world. It has the highest percentage of citizens who are millionaires of any other country. And more and more climbing up to that level every year. Look at the Forbes 400. Most of the names on that list are self-made men, or the children of self-made men. Bill Gates, the Waltons, the Koch brothers, Larry Ellison, Larry Page, Michael Dell, Paul Allen....these are the richest men in the United States. None of their parents were wealthy.

What does this tell us?

It tells us that you are full of shit.

It tells us that you don't have to be born rich to become rich, and in actuality, the over-whelming majority of the richest people in this country did not come from wealth. They CREATED it.

It isn't that the wealth in this country is concentrated in a few hands. It's that there have only been a few people in the country inventive enough, talented enough, willing enough and determined enough, to create the type of product or service that becomes so popular enough free and willing citizens will pay them to keep on making it. And thus, they become wealthy. These opportunities are available to anybody, from college dropouts (Gates), to the sons of farmers (Sam Walton), librarians (Allen), or immigrant printer's apprentices (Koch).

Take your whiny commie bullshit and shove it. If you want to make more money, convince someone with money that you have something valuable to provide them. If you have nothing valuable to provide, then you don't deserve any money. That's how freedom works. We have the freedom to choose how we spend our money, you have the freedom to choose how to develop your ability in the best way to maximize your value. If you can't figure it out, tough shit. Move to Cuba or North Korea or some other country where the people want to be taken care of like infantile diaper crapping toddlers. Real men prefer their freedom. That's why they left Europe and came here. If you don't have a big enough of dick to feel confident in your surroundings on this side of the Atlantic, then pack you fukking bags and move to Paris. Bitch.
