Pocahontas: "there is nobody in America who got rich on his own. NOBODY!"...Um, your opponent Trump!

[Wyatt earp]

The true irony is that our country became the most powerful country in the world not by government fiat but through philanthropy. Our libraries, and Universities, and yes even our early forms of welfare were all given through private money from very rich individuals. Not government funding.

Look around today and see that the very richest people in this country are mostly Democrats and they don't spend shit on charity compared to what the old Robber Barons used to.

Jeff Bezos is no John D Rockefeller, that's for sure

Our early forms of welfare and our public schools were always paid for with local taxes. Always, from back when we were colonials. I've read a bunch of Town Meeting Minutes from the 1760's and on, and they were reimbursing the family taking care of the orphan and paying the doctor for the old guy too sick to care for himself and delivering firewood to the widow with a mess of kids. From taxes. They were also collecting taxes to extend and maintain the roads, and people could work off that part of their tax by working on the road for a certain number of days. And the schools were also organized and funded by the town's taxes.
I'm sure wealthy philanthropists began a great deal of very good institutions, too. But on the ground, communities have always pooled together and chipped in with TAXES in order to pay for what a Town must do.

While wealthy people did distribute some of their wealth to the poor, it was not nearly enough. Not even close. Economic downturns like the Long Depression and the Great Depression showed just how much of a shortfall there was.

This image of wealthy people creating a safety net for the poor in days gone by is a hoax.

Government fills the big gaps.

However, the best social safety net of all is a booming economy. Unfortunately, our country has become far too dependent on government for its survival, and this has created a snake-swallowing-its-tail effect. Our government spends more and more, and creates bigger and bigger debt, which then drags our economy down.

Trump has not stopped this trend. In fact, he has accelerated it. He has submitted a budget which is one trillion dollars bigger than Obama's worst year of spending.

Anyone who claims the Republican party is the party of small government is either a retard or a liar, or both.

We are a nation of "Gimme gimme gimme, and make that guy over there pay for it."

In fact, that should be Warren's campaign slogan.

We have a booming economy now, according to the news. Why are there more homeless than ever, and why is our infant mortality rate rising and why are one in five children in this country food insecure?
I don't know, G, a booming economy just doesn't seem to be enough. It never really was, I don't think--we just used to be better at ignoring the poor.

The reason this is happening is because we have a system which is artificially increasing the wealth gap. I've posted about this HUNDREDS of times.

Both parties are responsible, and the rubes in each party fall for the hoax it is the other guys' fault alone!

Illegal Mexican's and 250,000 anchor babies born a year

You use Trump as an example?

You couldn't be more wrong.

By his own admission Daddy gave him a million. News reports have that figure at 63 million and all told over his lifetime...Daddy gave him almost half a billion (most of which he squandered).

And Warren's point stands. With publicly funded infrastructure and education very few would get rich ( and rich would have a vastly different meaning)

That does NOT mean that those who built businesses haven't worked hard...but don't even THINK they "did it on their own"

That's like standing on a giant's shoulders and saying "Look how tall "I" am"

Please see post 228.

Daddy created a fake corporation to funnel money to his kids without paying taxes.
Donnie counts that as his good business sense

 

[tycho1572]

Trump is a genius who used his intelligence, and meager inheritance, to build wealth and help others.
He’s a man I can respect and appreciate.

you've got to be kidding!

Elizabeth Warren Has Had It With Donald Trump | HuffPost

trump was given his money and STILL went bankrupt 4...5 times....idiot...

False dummy.

A couple of Trump's businesses went bankrupt, which is entirely different than Trump went bankrupt. That you're poor and don't understand the difference is on you.

Trump knows better than to bankrupt his own money
He borrows other people’s money and then declares bankruptcy.
When banks will no longer lend you money, borrow from Russia

It's hard to go bankrupt when your father just gives you more when you squander what he already gave.

Exhibit A.

In 2006, we had full employment and a booming economy with more illegal Mexicans here than now.

Then something happened. Maybe you heard about it. It was in all the papers. Economic apocalypse.

It had NOTHING to do with Mexicans.
