There are many people who have those same opinions of the “rich”. But they don’t know anything. We send our grandson to private Christian school in Nashville, because (1) his father has seen him a total of 2 times in 10 years; (2) his mother is a lazy good for nothing (our daughter) who was raised in a loving home, was smart, got scholarships to college, but decided to leave home, live with a drug adict, get pregnant, and 11 years later still takes no responsibility for anything’ (3) the grandson needs a Christian, moral, school with friends and adult role models, because he sure does not get them from either parent.

Our daughter told our grandson that the parents who had children there were “rich”, that the mothers didn’t have to work, that they could buy and do anything they wanted because they were “rich”. She doesn’t have a job, works a home-phone gig for spending money.

The truth is many of the grandparents are paying the tuition for kids there and some of the parents work 2 and 3 jobs in order to keep their children in this good environment.

You can’t tell some people anything. They get an idea in their head and it stays. It is envy, pure and simple. However, people like our daughter don’t have enough gumption to get up off their lazy butts, get some education, get a good job, and take care of themselves. No, they would rather the government or their parents pick up the bill.

We have her on TOUGH LOVE. We give her nothing, we provide for our grandson’s necessities, birthday, Christmas gifts. We provide a good place for him to come and spend holidays, as do our in-laws who live close.

We are college educated, professionals who didn’t have anything given to us. We worked whatever jobs we could get to support ourselves, get through school, get out on our own. We worked hard for everything we have.

Some people don’t understand that concept (including our daughter).

Sorry for the rant.

Well said, Laer. There are two ways to get rich. One is by taking from other people and it is unfortunately true that some people do get rich that way. The other way is by giving to other people, and in my experience that is how most of the rich people I know became rich. Liberal leaders like to assert in the media that all rich people got that way by taking from others. Could that be because that is how they themselves became rich? Their assertion is based on a common fallacy which has been in circulation so long that hardly anyone thinks to question it any more. It is the notion that there is only so much wealth in the world and that that quantity fixed. Liberals like to refer to this "fixed" quantity of wealth as a "pie" and proclaim (as Michelle Obama did recently) that there is only so much "pie" to go around, the implication being that if one person wants more of the "pie", someone else will have to make do with less. It is true that if you take a snapshot of the world economy, you will find that there is only so much wealth in it. But if you take another snapshot of the economy, say a year later, you will see that the amount of wealth has changed and most likely increased. The amount of wealth in the world is not fixed like a snapshot. It is, rather, always changing like a motion picture. That is because surrounding that "fixed" amount of wealth which you see in the snapshot is a vast and limitless ocean of opportunity, and the function of businesses, owned by people who with a desire to become rich, is to convert that opportunity into new wealth. Consider, for example, the telephone. Its invention made Alexander Graham Bell a very wealthy man, but how much wealth did it generate for other millions of people? Consider airplanes, lasers, personal computers, Teflon, automobiles, antibiotics -- the list could go on and on practically forever. The wealth created for the general population by these inventions and other inventions like them is incalculable. So the other way to become rich is simply to go about the business of baking more "pie", and that is what good and healthy businesses do. If liberals take away the incentives for people who desire wealth to form and grow healthy businesses, then the "pie" will indeed become fixed, and we will become a nation of takers instead of givers.
