This is why America is, and will remain, #1

Gunner, ole Warren Buffett’s comments mirrored yours to a tee when he was asked about the disparities.

Said, “When I was born I had a 1 in 68,000 chance of being born here as an American citizen. No one born here should waste that blessing “.

Nuff said.

Shrewdness pays better than wisdom.

I can’t help but think about the Book of Proverbs here.
Grins

I wrote that too.

I enjoy listening to people bitch about the people that have more money than they do, it's damn entertaining to listen to a person come up with all kinds of excuses to not see their own short comings.

Fuqking whiny ass crybabies.

We only have to look back at the last 2 elections to see what you’re describing here. There’s the proof and the whiners are gaining the majority.

Then there are different kinds of rich.

Raising a good family, storing wealth in Heaven, more perhaps.

That's right LVMiker and Old Toot, we are blessed that the first swat we got on the butt was right here, either on US dirt or by citizenship for those Americans born abroad!

Damnit Gus, where'd you go? I no chit just got home from the pharmacy, should I bitch about the cost I just paid for a bottle of estrogen so everyone I come in contact with is safe?

Is the atmosphere and/or organic only useful to you when it pleases a purpose?

Do not increase your income--- decrease your needs

"Poor people" are often born into an environment that doesn't allow them to see anything that you think everyone sees.

The idea of achieving something higher is a dream and nothing else.

There's a lot to be said,

about having the advantage to pick your parents.

I was blessed to have parents who told me if I wanted something, work for it.

And the most important part, they showed me what it looked like.

When your Dad walks up to the dining table before supper is served , picks up your plate and breaks it in half,,,,well,,there’s a subtle message there.

If one be born poor like Dolly Parton, but blessed with such rare natural assets as Dolly,
getting rich becomes far easier.

but what does say a scrawny flat chested buck tooth no chin no education runt of the litter hillbilly do to get rich?

Working smarter usually gets people far richer than working harder.



yeh, just sell them the idea [or illusion] of freedom.

fight for freedom on foreign soil , while you own gov goes about trying to deny you your own
liberties and freedoms on home soil.

Become a televangelist.

My grandparents took 160 acres of desert sagebrush, dug irrigation ditches, planted crops and turned it into a nice little dairy farm with 40 Guernsey cows. They raised six kids in a two bedroom house, and were able to purchase a couple rental houses over the years. They raised almost everything the family ate, and had a presentable car and dress clothes for church every week, and they paid Tithe "religiously".

They were able to sell property off a bit at a time to support them self through their golden years which lasted until they were 95.

My parents got divorced and sold their property when they were about 50 and went on SSI $350/month each and Medicaid. Dad is 88 this year and Mom will be 82.

You make your choices and you live with the results.

Me, I started a blue collar job and stayed with it until I was shift foreman. Been foreman for 32 years now. In a couple years I will retire with 20% higher annual income than I ever made working. Even with a bunch of overtime.

I count my blessing that I was not born in a subsaharan hut, trying to keep the lions from eating the cow by use of a sharpened stick, and never knowing when the guerrilla gangs would come by with their AK47s to rape my wife and daughters and kill or kidnap my sons.

And I do not waste ANY time worrying that Bill Gates of Jeff Bezos might have it better than I.

In short, we live in the best lands in the world, and at the best time in history. I suspect things may not be so rosey for my grandkids or their kids.

don't forget that the average person cannot live above average
