Rich people being rich has ZERO affect on your ability to get rich and have money too. There is no set amount of money that the rich are somehow hoarding and preventing you from getting Quoting: RonP Just because some guy has a trillion dollars does not mean he is preventing YOU from having ANYTHING. There is no set amount of wealth. Rich people being rich has ZERO affect on your ability to get rich too. There is no set amount of money that the rich are hoarding. The thing that you don't understand, if there is no set amount of money, why wouldn't the poor should be given more? So that everyone can have a good life. I mean, it doesn't prevent ANYONE having even more, right? I don't really think it's that big issue if some people are even filthy rich, if everyone has enough. Who's "enough" yours...or mine Well, there's the poverty line for starters. It's not much, and nobody should be living under it at least. Americas poverty line looks pretty good in other countries SunDogsbd |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 35302977 United States 03/04/2013 10:00 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I had no idea it was that bad, I wish there was a similar graph for the whole world. Despite the economics rhetoric that claims it isn't possible to do it, I think the first step to rectifying this travesty of slavery is to increase the hourly rate of workers. I don't think that is the answer. I have a small business and I have two part time employees, one almost full time employee, my husband and myself. No one is getting minimum wage and yet its still difficult to work a full week and afford to put a buck away. I would pay my employees, and myself, more if the payroll taxes didn't bleed us dry. I am paying my employees the same but we're all taking home less. I have to give them a raise just so they can take home what they did last year. See anything wrong with this picture? |

A lot of "Reagan Democrats", a lot of whom were auto union members, got Reagan elected, not knowing they were going to be among the first to get the shaft.

There was a great need for websites at that time. But that girl could probably tell you what is needed today and how you can succeed....yes, today. She does her "research" online and uses common sense. She's very wise. This is a girl that I never thought would even make it through high school. She didn't make good grades, but she had so much common sense. There were times that I thought she was the mom and I was the child. She dropped out of college after two years. I am sure there are legitimate money making opportunities out there if anyone is willing to work hard. I remember her telling me, when she was making her millions, that I could do it, too, if I was more diligent and wasn't traveling all the time. I chose traveling all the time. That's why I do not complain about the "rich" and deny the money that they have made through hard work. She's still young, and now she has a beautiful and comfortable home and the means to travel. She really enjoys life. Last Edited by nutmeg on 03/04/2013 10:16 PM |

ZEROeffect User ID: 33873516 Canada 03/04/2013 10:12 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | OMG. This video is not about how hard you have to work to become an ELITE! Gawd you guys are such sheep! So what if your daughter or whatever made something of herself years ago. You even said that the market became over saturated and now she doesn't make as much from making web sites. STILL HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE VIDEO!!! The video deals with the fact that the middle class and the lower class almost has NOTHING now! The upper class is going the same way! And you guys don't think the system is rigged? That you can just magically work harder and become an ELITE as well? FUCK THAT! People should be able to put in an honest days work for honest pay! PERIOD! Whether they want to be a plumber or a doctor....they should still be able to afford the basics in life and look forward to a retirement! It has nothing to do with being a fucking ELITE skum bag! The video shows you that the top .1% is so grossly making more money than everyone else that it's disgusting and they NEVER give anything back. THERE IS NO TRICKLE DOWN for your parents retirements. There is no trickle down for your KIDS! It's NOT ALL ABOUT YOU BECOMING A FUCKING ELITE! Try and start a business from scratch now with no help! Good luck! Prepare to be hooped right in your taint! Maybe ask a few of your fellow people who have been looking for work for 3-5 years and still are getting stone walled. Maybe ask a few business owners in you area how they are doing? I'll bet they are all in the tank looking for air. Even Wal-mart is having problems. Best buy closing hundreds of stores and downsizing. This is all being designed and rigged for years. They are systematically selling the country off to other countries piece by piece, just like in "pretty woman" Then the companies sold off....just like your homes, and businesses. Ask Detroit how they are doing or the other 20 or so cities that are effectively bankrupt! GET IT????? MORANS and Shills! Your time is coming! The system needs to change..... |
