That's the difference between people like the two of us and people like rightwinger. When we aren't pleased with a situation, we do something about it, not blaming anyone for it while doing something about it. People like rightwinger, when in the same type of situations, automatically blame others for causing it and expect the government to offset it. If they spent half as much time doing for themselves as they do whining about someone else doing it for them, they might be shocked as just how quickly their situation improves and how much better off they are.
That's what I told RW earlier on.
The people who complain the most about others having money are those who made a lot of mistakes in life and never tried to make money for themselves. They are an embarrassment to this country.
Some foreigners come here with twenty bucks in their pocket and only knowing a few words of English. As time goes on, they eventually end up business owners and work night and day. They buy into franchises like subway shops and 7-11's. Perhaps they buy or open up their own beverage or convenience store.
Those foreigners don't care what corporations make. They don't care what CEO's make. They don't care what Walmart makes. Their only concern is how they can use the opportunity of freedom in this country to be the best they can be.
The beverage store I go to is owned by people from India. They have a thriving business. It's mostly family, but they've provided jobs to people in the neighborhood. Because they are success minded, they are open seven days a week including holidays. After they started doing well, they didn't go out and spend every dollar. They invested their profits into real estate and are also landlords.
