Bernie's free college idea

[Make Angels Great Again]

The larger issue being some individuals hard work has made them more wealthy than others?

 

You have listening issues.

[Stradling]

Can we all agree the government mismanages funds? AJ? AFL?

This is why most of us think you are an arrogant a-hole

 

Hey, don't blame the messenger. Its from an article in Psychology Today:

Many poor people are poor because of pot, cocaine, heroin, booze, not going to school, stealing shit, etc...

 

Many rich people are rich because their parents were well off

 

 

The lottery that is your parents has a lot to do with your ability to succeed in life.

Why is it a problem that a hard working and driven person makes money to take care of their future generations?  Wouldn't you do the same?

[nate]

 

This is your problem.  None of us are saying **** you poor people.  We are saying get off your ass and work for it.

Did you see the post I was responding to

[Adam]

This is your problem. None of us are saying **** you poor people. We are saying get off your ass and work for it.

And not just that. If any of you would like to help there are a few projects I'm involved in that provide direct assistance to people needing help.

How do you define many?

According to The Millionaire Next Door book which is supported by multiple surveys and studies the authors did only 20% of those individuals inherited the wealth while the other 80% were self made millionaires who worked, saved and invested.

Clearly yes.

[Jay]

It's nice to see that not everyone is a crazy commie on this board.

[mtangelsfan]

Clearly yes.

I'll go with many being defined as roughly the same number of people who are poor because the use pot, heroin, booze, uneducated, steal, etc.

"them" is a broad term.

 

I look at individual candidates and whether or not they are trustworthy, as well as if their policies will help society as a whole.

[nate]

Bernie's proposals only exacerbates that problem, giving them even more incentives to stay home and abuse drugs and alcohol.

Hillary Clinton is pretty much the opposite of everything I believe in.

[Make Angels Great Again]

Bernie's problem only exacerbates that problem, giving them even more incentives to stay home and abuse drugs and alcohol.

 

What are you talking about? Bernie Sanders has said (correctly) that drugs and alcohol abuse should be treated as a health issue, which it is.

[nate]

Treatment only works if the person wants to stop

[Make Angels Great Again]

If people refuse help/treatment and would rather end up killing themselves then so be it.

[nate]

But first let the government pump tons of money into them just to fail.

[mtangelsfan]

If people refuse help/treatment and would rather end up killing themselves then so be it.

If they existed in a vacuum that would be great. We all know they don't though.

again, that would be arguable if Bernie was a dictator. It is still the feds.
