You know Yellow, you seem like a good hearted person. I respect you for that. Believe it or not, in my "younger" days, I to was a liberal. I believed in all you are saying. I guess, over the years I became cynical. There is no utopia. Everything cannot be equal. Do I believe everyone born in the USA have the same opportunities to be succesful? No.
I agree Pres. Bush trickle down theory is not working. But if you think taxing the hell out of them and giving to people who probably don't deserve to get it in the first place will stimulate the economy. it won't work. It will only create more lazy people in this country. I am sure you have heard of the saying " Give a man a fish, he eats for a day. Teach him how to fish, he eats everyday" That is how this country should be. Teach, Teach and Teach! Not give, give and give.
Even though we do not see eye to eye, I appreciate the give and take.
