Yes, yes ... it is a story to make a point. The point is valid. What part don't you agree?

We are a capitalist society. That is what made us great. Equal opportunity for greatness. I came from a blue collar family and was the first to go to college. I made my success and don't want it taken from me for any reason. I donate heavily to charities and do volunteer work. I do not need the government taking more from me to redistribute wealth.

The point of the story if you read it ... is how far do you take the Obama liberal thoughts? What he is preaching is socialism and everyone should be dead set against that.

Socialism takes away the competitive nature that made this country great. What incentive if there to do better and be successful if a larger share is taken away to be redistributed to those that did not work as hard or take risks?

What I hear people like you and other liberals saying is they do not like the idea that society is like a Pyramid, the higher up things get squeezed. But everyone has that shot, but not everyone will make it. I am sorry that is the way it works.

I would like to have been higher up too and I am sure my dad would have, but you take what you have and do not desire to take something away from those that were more successful.

You just don't get it.
