It makes no sense.The thing is the money ends up going to them, and in capitalism, there needs to be a steady flow of money to keep the economy afloat, when the mega rich would rather just sit on billions as opposed to putting back into the economy and making more jobs with it, we get into trouble. Of course mega rich arent the only problem, government is more to blame. However they could really help and they refuse to. It's only right to give back to the nation that it so you can get megarich as opposed to shit on it and watch it suffer, but your right, it's their money, do what they like with it..

Did you make your computer from the dirt, trees and grass in the backyard of the house that you built yourself (with wood you cut on your own)? What exactly is your point?

If you can show me where I've ever said I support Mitt Romney for this election, I'd love to see it. However, I'm assuming your point is that he's a conservative and you're assuming I'm voting for a conservative, and probably him because he's the leading candidate? I know the point you're trying to make, but I don't agree with everything he says. Hell, I may not even like him much, but he very well may be a better option than Obama.

If the business can make a bigger profit by outsourcing jobs, more power to them. Would it be nice to have the jobs in the U.S.? Yes, it would, but a business needs to make money.

You are so simple minded and ignorant with your over-generalizations of people on welfare. 3/4 of people on welfare truly need it to survive and they do use it for the orrect things. Like anything with such a huge pool of people participating, there is going to be a large chunk who abuse the priviledge of welfare, but it is my believe they are in the minority and it does more good than bad for the country. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's definitely a great living, no doubt about it, but when I think of rich, I think of a person making over 250K...or a household that makes 250K. Someone who makes 100,000$ a year isn't "rich" IMO. Especially if they have a family to support. Edited June 17, 2012 by JYD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
