If you support Perry, your forgetting about the poor, the old, minorities, gay etc. etc. etc. I'm just saying. I support the things Perry stands for, but I also understand that the United States is made up of more than just Wealthy White Men. I am a Wealthy White Straight Man, but I just can't kick someone to the curb when they fall short of my accomplishments. I always refer my mind back to the Sermon on the Mount before condemning.

Me thinks you're the one who needs to do some research and resist relying on your emotions like you do. We already have the most radical President in history in the White House.
You're a wealthy white straight man? Mozel tov!! Please don't indulge your guilt over that to demand that all people in the same "agony" surrender all their hard earned resources to prop up a failed entitlement culture that doesn't even address your "guilt" but makes a mockery of it.
How about donating your time to enable and encourage others to get off their slacker butts and work and labor to capture their own dream, where they will gain the same sense of satisfaction of reaping what they sow; just as you did. That will be much more satisfying than to just believe the government has a right to as much of your hard earned cash as they want to spread around for purposes that have nothing to do with your ideals.
You can still always just give your money to your dearest charity if you still have a need to do so.
