You may be a dumb redneck, but I like this and it makes a sensible, simple point. I guess I'll be a dumb reneck with you if it's okBlindref757 wrote:You might say that it's oversimplified, or that I'm just a dumb redneck...but this debate is pretty easy for me. I've seen a few businesses get off the ground with government help, but I've also seen a lot of businesses fail when the government subsidy was cut off. I've worked a lot of jobs in a lot of different sectors...and I've never had a poor man sign my payroll check. If you want a vibrant economy, you leave the rich guy alone. He buys cars, yachts, and airplanes...and those are built by people who need him to spend that money so that they have a job. He also hires people to run his affairs and mow his yard, and handle his legal woes. His wife buys clothing and shoes, and his office buys computers and electricity. He donates money to various community and national charities of his choosing. The rich guy is absolutely the key to a strong middle class. The only people who hate rich guys are those who don't have what it takes to get there and those who are jealous of his success.
I've never seen someone on food stamps hire anyone...and it is rare for someone on food stamps to stop seeking some sort of assistance from the social system.

Re: correct me if Im wrong...
I suck with money, so I married an asian girl that can turn a penny into a quarter in week, then make that quarter last us two weeks. That said, if we simplified this and used a person as an example it would be like.. me having 3 credit cards with a combined total of 200,000 dollars debt, and about a 30,000 dollar annual income. If I wanted it fixed I would combine the debt, cut every credit card I had, set a budget that would rid of all excessive spending, and pay it off slowly but surely.
Im not sure how these things get so complicated with politics-but I would rather my generation suffer a little bit from not having luxury of extra money to spend than my future kiddos generation, and grandkids generation.
Then again, Im not a money person. Im not a politician. I vote for what I think is best with my limited knowledge and hope for the best
