He said that it was better to move to the back of the bus then to stir up trouble. Good thing Rosa Parks showed more balls so he could have freedom. Hiding behind a womans apron. You can have this self obsorbed fruit loop. He ain't coming close to being POTUS so it really doesn't matter. You can convince the right to vote for almost anyone these days. Problem is he can't get the middle and he would need them. They don't vote for bigots.


Geeez mikeyy do you have a opinion at all?
It is good you recognize your words are merely your opinion.

Yours? Hell, no. I just think that people who use resources at a higher rate to earn more should pay their fair share of taxes.
They pay their share.

Most of the rich people I know (and that is most of my school and family friends), want to pay more taxes.
And they are perfectly free to do so. If they WANT to pay more, they can. If they don't pay more, then obviously they don't really want to.

Why don't you try being rich yourself before you take it upon yourself to protect them!
No one is protecting 'them'.

Unlikely.

Yes. Ignorance, lack of ambition, lack of vision, lack of intelligence, lack of desire, unwillingness to do what's necessary.

Nope, I'm surely not. And the fact that I'm not is no one's fault but my own.

Nobody thinks you become rich without working at it. But working hard is also no promise of wealth.

That's life. You play the hand you've been dealt and make the best of it.

Exactly. Whatever situation I find myself in, I need look no further than the mirror to see the reason.
