I am sure that you and everyone else on this board is willing to trade places with them
I was one of them. I grew up poor. And thank God I grew up as a "poor" person in America............because unlike the rest of the world, I had all the opportunities to work myself into a middle class life. I took advantage of a free public education and my parents made me get good grades (or else!). Took advantage of several chances to improve my future, and did so.
Had I grown up poor in just about any other country on Earth, I'd have remained poor.
But in America, staying in our poor class is a choice. That choice is much easier made in youth, and the choice to get out of it gets harder as one gets older.
There has always been opportunity in this country.
But some Americans grow up with two strikes against them while others grow up standing on third base.
Doesn't mean everyone has an equal chance to score
So I guess the Libs agree with the President when he was campaigning and said to Joe the plumber...."We need to spread the wealth around".
We will let those that produce in the country like the Husband and Wife owners of small business's go out and struggle to make a go of it and benefit from the Bush tax cuts which by the way allowed them to KEEP MORE OF THEIR money.Then the Libs come along and scream that the wealthy have too damm much money and scream that the Bush tax cuts
need to be taken away because the base for the Democrat party doesn't like that fact that those that worked hard to make it have more then they do....
