    A private business has EVERY RIGHT to control who enters and who dose not enter the establishment. As long as it is not based on Race, Sex, Religion, Sexual Orientation or things of that nature.
    What gives you the right to tell me how to run my business? Or my home?
    You have every right to patronize my business or not.
    You need to learn the differences between Governments and Private Businesses. You also should look into the difference between your rights and what you want.

    OMG. Never mind. You are so right.
    It's the parents, parents, parents fault. So far back in history it dose not even matter.

    I will call bullshit on that one right now. 40 - 50 years ago people spent less than they made and saved. They knew the value of saving. They worked hard. Sued little and received few government benefits.

    Now.
    the Government and the people spend all they have and go into debit. They look to the government for more and to themselves for less. If your hot coffee is hot SUE and make money. If you break your leg breaking into someones home SUE and make money. The problem is the people. They are selfish and lazy. How many "People on the street" bitching about how their food stamp allotment is not large enough have a flat screen TV at home? Too many.

    My grandparents knew fiscal responsibility. So did their neighbors. It is only recently that the people have changed and we can very well pin the generation where the way was lost easily.

    I know it is easier to just believe that there is no way out and therefore it is not anyones fault except some far away rich people and mega corporation/quasi government that is at fault. But that is rarely how it is. And when it is that way it still dose the individual no good to look somewhere else to place blame.

    I tell my children that when something goes wrong they need to look to their own actions to find what they could have done differently to avoid it. Even if someone else was partially to blame they still must look at where they need to change to make things better. Because they have been taught that putting the responsibility on someone else takes away your power to fix it.

    Keep your power. Keep responsibility for what goes on in your life and fix it.

    It is perfectly valid for me to make myself a success and guarantee the success of my decedents. As I have said before working hard at a job gives you security. Not wealth. Working hard and creating your own job is the road to wealth.

    Not true. Luck is very rarely a factor in any real success. Neither is working hard at someone else's job. To "Make it" requires hard work and dedication as well as a removal of the safety net that is a job that someone else has to create. You need to create jobs and create wealth to have your own success.

    Few people in America are actually asking for everyone to make the same, and for the government to redistribute wealth in that fashion. They're just asking that it be easier for a poor person to make the leap to rich when investing an adequate amount of effort to do so.

    Really?
    Because that is not what I see. I do not see the US government removing barriers to wealth. Only putting up new ones in the interests not of making more people able to dedicate themselves to upward mobility but to have it handed to them. That is not what we should be doing as a people. Charity should be a private endeavor not a public one.

    I am sure that the fact that it is still possible for a person to grow up poor and with determination and hard work become rich is something that you either
    do not believe in or something that you do not believe happens.
    Which?
    Because really that is all I ask of my government when it comes to wealth equality. Not that life be fair, or that we all make comparable amounts of money.
    I do not want my government to watch over those things. I only want it to ensure that it is still possible to better yourself economically if you make it
    important enough in your life.
    I hear way to many people whining about how much money someone else has while they waste their money on instant happiness secure in the knowledge that our tax money will allow them to never save nor think of the future. It is a truly sad way to train you citizens and it should stop.

    Well. They do. All of them. They tell whatever lie they think they need to tell at the time to get elected. There is no fallout from it. If it starts to become an issue they either get the press on their side to ignore it or if the press is not on their side then they manufacture something to get the heat off.

    That is how it has been for a long time now. thinking that somehow his promises were to big to not want to follow through with is weak. They Lie. They lie a little, they lie alot. The fact that you do not get it is not my problem. "I did not say he would not lie. I just said he wouldn't lie that big." Come on. That is crap. There is no lie they will not tell to get elected. Once in power they will do what they need to to try and stay in power.

    The only reason that it dose not work is because of the large percentage of dip shits who vote for a letter. Stop voting for or against a letter and start voting for your beliefs. If we start down that road we will win. There will be elections till then where a D won instead of an R or the other way around. They both suck balls though. Over time we can take back the elections. Without trying though you are guaranteed to lose every time.

    Sometimes you will lose by getting what you voted for and sometimes you will lose by not getting what you voted for. But you will ALWAYS lose.

    Obama came up in the Chicago Democrat Factory. He voted on almost nothing during his time in the Senate. This is hard proof that he is just another fucking politician.
