love watching the smoke coming out libs ears and gears turning in their head for why its different,while they slowly but surely start to realize,oh yeah,thats why i'm in college and haven't ever paid taxes yet or been in the real world,maybe i've been lied to by dems my whole life that they're looking out for me,maybe repubs idea makes more sense once i've joined the real world,and why dems target college students so much 4 vote,before they had a chance to make sense of real world situations

@munkyuism If you went to a housing project and gave every family there a million dollars a few would move out, but for the most part you'd have a housing project with a lot of nice cars out front and residents with a lot of bling. And most of the ones who'd move would do the same. Ever hear of curse of the lottery?

John Lennon believed in wealth redistribution, but he didn't give any of his loot to the cause and I bet if you tried to cover one of his songs on an album you'd have to pay for it even if your a poor artist starting out. I do believe they distribute the heat evenly in Hell, huh John!

@munkyusm No, I honestly don't think that. I think that if everyone contributed to society, things would be better.

[munkyusm]

@repserves So you honestly think that there's such thing as no one living in an underprivileged community? This is the biggest flaw in logic that I've ever heard. The entire point of this system is that there are haves and have nots. There will always be underprivileged people in this system.

[repserves]

@munkyusm I'm happy to hear you worked hard and actually made something of yourself. If people work as hard as you did this country would probably be in better shape. Than you wouldn't have to worry about limited education in underprivileged communities. Thus, you just proved my point.

[munkyusm]

@repserves I was lower middle class, a lot of families aren't as priveleged as I was. I was lucky to have a great public school system that stressed critical thinking and parents who stayed on me. What about the kids that don't have this luxury? Lack of money is only part of the problem, it's lack of decent parents, and a lack of resources that ultimately leads to many of these kids growing up to not be decent parents either and propagate the cycle.

[repserves]

@munkyusm Well, if the child is willing to do whatever it takes to succeed than, yes. Just because a kid goes to a bad school doesn't mean his educational opportunities can be limited; ever hear of a library? By the way, doesn't the last half of your comment just prove that hard work does, in fact, pay off? Why should things you work hard for go to those who don't work hard? Makes no sense.

@munkyusm You need to learn a little more about history. Slavery was in and of itself a cost-prohibitive practice. The ONLY industries that were could actually afford slave labor were the cotton and tobacco industries. A vast majority of the industry in the East was built using Irish/German labor. Industry in the West was with Irish/Oriental labor.

[munkyusm]

@ProbIemSoIver No it didn't...stealing an entire country from Native Americans, building our entire infrastructure on the backs of slave labor, and having free reign at manufacturing when 2 world wars wiped out basically every industrialized country made us great. Our bill of rights is what makes us great, not our economic system. Nowadays, we equate happiness with wealthiness. We could be socialist and still have the bill of rights.

@layithen You really believe that nonsense don't you? You really believe that a child born to a crack whore in the ghetto has an equal opportunity to have a decent life as a child born to any upper middle class family from the suburbs? It's complete foolishness to believe this. My family was pretty poor and I'll admit I worked my butt off to get where I am today, but I'm still far more priveleged than the bottom. My parents were still able to scrape up enough to help me big time at times.
