Ah....I see....so the inner city kid who graduates high school barely able to read because his teachers have to spend more time dodging bullets than teaching, who never met his father, lives in project housing and gets one meal a day if he is lucky, has to take care of his siblings because his mother works two jobs trying to make enough to feed her children and who faces discrimination in everything he tries to do....that kid had the same ability to 'develop a business' as Trump's son? Look, I am not a supporter of Sanders or his brand of socialism, but we have to recognize that some people have the deck stacked against them from the start and that there is nothing wrong with wanting to help those people succeed.

  • [quote]and that there is nothing wrong with wanting to help those people succeed.[/quote] I agree with this statement, however, if you do this by taxing the "rich" the money that they use to pay his mother will be gone. Now, the mother is down to one job, and not enough money to help the whole family. In response the son drops out of high school his senior year and NEVER GETS HIS high school diploma. When helping the people with "the cards stacked against them," it should be left to the private person to decide what to do with the money. Many of these people WILL GIVE money to charity and (or) food pantries. I speak from experience, as a kid that goes to school in the middle of St. Paul. I am better off than [quote]the inner city kid[/quote] but I'm not rich by any means. I am a small white kid, the only one on my basketball team, and many of my friends are black and in the [quote]inner city kid[/quote] situation.

  • As I have stated, I am not in favor of socialism and have no desire to strip the wealthy of all of their wealth to the point that the 'job creators' can no longer create jobs. But you will be cold and hungry if you are going to count on the generosity of the rich to help those less fortunate.
