OT: Unbiased analysis of Obama and McCain tax plans

[MANmom]

afx114, I feel sorry for you. What a poor outlook on life. Ever heard of Colin Powell? Read that book, that’s just one example. I could go on, but something tells me you will never be motivated to be great. It is people like you who convince the masses that they will never have anything unless the Government gives it to them. How pitiful.

You’re missing the forest for the trees. Of course there are successful people out there who had a tough road. I am one of them! I’m not saying it’s not possible. Where did I say that? You don’t know me, where I came from, or what I’ve accomplished, so can we avoid making baseless accusations please? Can we return to the discussion at hand rather that resorting to personal attacks? Last I checked, personal attacks mean you don’t have a leg to stand on in an argument. Unless you can provide a valid defense of your argument, get out of the way so that civilized people can continue the discussion.

Anyway, back to reality here, of course there are successful people in this world who have come from difficult circumstances. I am one of them. And I received no hand outs from either my family or my country. I am proud of my accomplishments.

That said, you can’t deny that there’s something wrong with the fact that Richie Rich can ride through college and into the cushy country clubs and BMWs based not on his own merits, but on his last name and his parents’ bank account. That is the very definition of aristocracy, and is the antithesis of what America is all about.

Now if you’d like to provide a well thought out and respectful counter-argument to my post, please do. I’m all ears.

I could go on, but something tells me you will never be motivated to be great. It is people like you who convince the masses that they will never have anything unless the Government gives it to them. How pitiful.

EXACTLY! There’s more of that CLEAR THINKING that I admire so much! Obviously PEOPLE LIKE HIM are to BLAME for the fact that many in this country do not live up to their potential. And your example OF A SINGLE SUCCESSFUL INDIVIDUAL OF EXCEPTIONAL INTELLIGENCE AND TALENT who has triumphed over adversity PROVES BEYOND A DOUBT that everyone is capable of doing the same. If we can all start thinking so clearly, this country is destined for GREATNESS! Unfortunately TRAITOROUS LIBERALS will probably ruin it all for us.

Then why are you not celebrating the fact that you are one of the lucky ones who do pay taxes and you want to pay more? I for one don’t want to pay more. We need less government, not more. You said yourself you did it without any help…obviously it can be done if one is motivated. The issue is big vs. small government – or socialism vs. capitalism, I for one am for small government and less taxes. You said yourself that socialism got us out of the great depression, that is blatently false…socialism is not an answer to tough economic times. That soak the rich kind of thinking only perpetuates the myth that all rich people are country club blue bloods who live off their family trust funds like the Kennedys…We all know that Harvard, Yale, Stanford and all the great universities do not need to charge one cent to educate anyone, that is a result of the endowments that came from those richie rich people you disdane, not from any government grant program. Anyone smart enough to get into those institution will get a free education. And yes, even rich people’s kids have to have the grades to get in to those universities, and it helps that mommy and daddy send money…Those richie rich types also fund most of the arts programs in this country, as well as hospitals, community centers, I could go on. It is a good thing to have rich people. I agree that I do not like rich parents who just give their kids everything they want, (ie. paris hilton) that makes me mad as hell. But isn’t that what big government does trying to be the do-gooder? Everyone must learn to be a responsible human being, not a taker. But to put down rich people because they choose to do with their own money what they want is…un-American – it’s a free country.
