I'm sick of those tired old arguments. Let me give you one from my perspective.

My parents divorced when I was 8. We moved from our home in Kansas to Indianapolis. My mother took over $9,000 in debt, (in 1972 dollars) and received no help from my father. We had a VW bug and few belongings. We moved into a trailer that my great Grandfather had just died in.

My mother found a less than stellar job and started back to school 2-3 nights a week. Her sister came and stayed with us for a while to help out.

Mom got her degree, eventually a Masters, and found a better job at a bank. She paid off all the debt my father had acquired.

She ended up sitting on the board of directors and is now a millionaire. She retired from the bank and now works 3 days a week for the local PBS television station, and works two days a week as a teacher's assistant for 1st graders, because she wants to.

Who held her back? Was some rich person behind her success? The answer is no, and no one held her back nor helped her, she did it all on her own. And there are many others like her.

She didn't take anything from anyone to get where she is. How is that possible in the world you described? Hard work and dedication still work and pay off in the long run. Your misunderstanding is that the economy is a zero sum game. That for someone to get ahead someone else must lose. That's wrong. My mother is irrefutable proof of that.

You are a conspiracy theorist and a fool and I won't listen to your crap anymore. Go spew your filth somewhere else, no one wants to here it.

Today's Featured Article - The Rescue of a Fordson F - by Anthony West. Introduction I live in the UK and have for many years restored Fordson tractors (in the main model N's). I have also restored and shown model F's, E 27N's, Field Marshall Series 2, David Brown Cropmasters and the old rey Fergeson T 20. At one time I had seven restored examples which were shown and used in ploughing matches. As most restorers, I have a number of war stories I can relate on a range of topics that may help other like minded and interested people. Perhaps my first p ... [Read Article]
