    Wait a min......I missed something in the thread. When did the it take a turn to an attack
    I dont take it as a judgment post at all. I agree with what your saying. I'm sure once he found a comfortable place he was grateful. I dont view it so much as taking without permission, it's just a man trying to get his family in the best situation possible. If the resources are there, why not use them? If I were in his situation, it's a decent probability I'd do the exact same thing. You get your stuff however you see fit, as long as it don't hurt anybody. This certainly don't hurt me. If my taxes has to help somebody else out, so be it. At least I know its going to good use.

    I see the public education system of socialist indoctrination was a complete success with you.

    Also, rest assured that since we are now at third generation socialist indoctrination being taught, it will be a very short time before the U.S. is a full blown socialist country....

    There was once two boys together throughout grade school. All through high school, one young fellow did what was expected of him, behaved himself, studied hard, was ambitious, and learned a trade. Within 10 years he started and gradually built up a company, employing hundreds. The company was prospering and so was he. By the time he retired he was multi-millionaire.

    The other young lad, had the same opportunities available to him, but he decided to disobey his parents, make bad decision after bad decision, thought studying and hard work was for chumps, dropped out of high school, and subsequently has found little in the way of good paying job opportunities. Of course, he blames not himself, but "the system" and "rich people" for his woes.

    So, let me ask you this, why should the fellow that made something of himself (millionaire), through a life of hard work, ambition, and good decisions, be forced to share his hard earned wealth with the 'ner do well that, even though he had the same opportunities, caused his own problems and refused to own them.

    You see, unlike communism and socialism, everyone, not just a select few in charge, in a free Capitalist country has the same opportunities to succeed or fail. That separation my friend is what makes this country great....

    I am one of 8 kids now 55. If I told you the things my dad did to feed the prior 5 back in the 50s before I was born you wouldn't believ me.

    Even growing up we got fed and a roof over our head. Nothing else.

    I thought my name was Tammy until I was 12 because I had to wear my older sisters dress to school until than

    My parents thought it was easier to trick me into thinking I was a girl than explain that my Cheap Hollander parents were too Tight to buy me boys clothes that my older brothers wore down to threads.

    Well.....not everybody makes poor decisions. Now the question is, how much does the well behaved kid turned entrepreneur pay his employees? If anything like the average, probably barely enough to survive. He probably has good decision makers and employees that were well behaved as kids. That don't mean it translate to the same type of success. It ain't that much room at the top. Fact is, he is fortunate to make it there, not discounting hard work, but things still had to go his way. Now he's fortunate enough to see considerably more than most others. I don't think it's too much to ask more fortunate people to pay a little more tax. Inhave no problem with the wealthy whatsoever and I give them much credit. As I've said, you get you're money however you get it. It isn't like the society is asking for 50 to 75 percent of his earnings. That's crazy. It isn't even like the society is asking millionaires to put all the poor people in their backs and elevate. A little more tax ain't hurting them. Most people dont make enough money to really live. It isn't that they arent trying, it's not much room at the top. Besides, if you're able bodied, you have to work. They don't make it easy like it used to be to get benefits. I'm ok with a little assistance. It isn't like its vaulting the poor to the next tax bracket, they still will very much be poor.
