[QUOTE="island1fox, post: 829325, member: 4816"] Klein, It gets very tiring the continued attacks on the "rich" Has anyone considered an attack on the lazy ?? Of course not. Between a limited social safety net and a whole range of charitable organizations the truly needy people would easily be taken care of. The problem we have is a growing sense of entitlement, free food,housing, education health etc, etc, etc. Many , many of these people freely choose to do nothing with their lives and expect the "GOVERNMENT" to provide what they did not work for. It is amazing,some people would consider me "rich" today. At fourteen I got a NYC work permit and worked evenings and weekends as a delivery boy. I paid attention in school worked hard and took out loans for my "higher" education. While in school I worked at UPS unloading trailors for four years where I saw many "future lazy" people quit because the work was too hard. After receiving a college degree I drove for UPS. The majority of my union friends ridiculed me -told me I was a fool to go into management--no security-no OVERTIME. They were somewhat right as a supervisor-day,night, hub ,package I spent many 14 to 15 hour days with NO OVERTIME. I put all my extra money into UPS stock and even risked more by taking out loans to invest and risk more. 40 years later after nine relocations to many different states and two different countries i am considered "rich" In todays world that makes me evil --the guy who worked ??? As Obama would say W.T.friend. ??? When the Government was pulling Social security tax out of my pay every week when I desperately needed the money --you now say because of my hard work -they should give my money to the lazy guy. In recent years I have paid the HIGHEST tax rate, Highest property taxes -I do not have a MAGIC accountant nor bullcrap deductions. I pay MORE than my fair share. Just once in a while it would be nice for people to say Thank you for my contribution to society --instead of being VILLIFIED for working my whole life and being successful.:peaceful: [/QUOTE]
