Look at it this way if you only see things in black or white.
Speeding is speeding so the guy who guys 1 mile over the limit is just as guilty as the guy who goes 60 miles over the limit. But can't you see any difference if the speed limit is 25 mph?

I don't really care what you think or what you need to tell yourself to make it easy to sleep at night. I'm sorry I wasted your time..
No, you are not wasting my time. It is my time to waste, not yours. There is nothing wrong with an honest debate

I am not saying that those that don't have money are lazy. I am saying that many are just not as motivated as the wealthy. I'm not and will admit it. I can make lots more than I have. But, I opted not to work harder or longer in order to achieve that level of wealth. I am satisfied with what I have. I could have worked seven more years before I would have been forced into retirement. But, I don't believe that anyone's money that they earned is due to me. I don't believe that a person that is more motivated than me, should be penalized for being successful. I will make a statement that I believe that many folks that are on welfare do not belong there. I believe that the gov abuses and wastes our tax revenues. But, I do not believe that the wealthy owes me a dime, or anyone else for that matter. To demonize the wealthy is to disparage what makes this country great, freedom to achieve and equal opportunity. Anyone that pays at a higher percentage rate than anyone else, is being discriminated upon. And that is UN-American. IF I have two cars and my neighbor has one and it breaks down, I do not believe that he should demand that I give him one of mine. If he doesn't maintain his and I do maintain mine, I shouldn't be penalized because of his lack of motivation.
