Re: Endind Poverty in America




Bill Gates is a college drop-out. 


Numerous people are successful coming out of Africa.  If you are born and tell yourself you cannot succeed then you never will.  There are tons of examples of people overcoming the worst adversity to "hit it big."  There are also a lot of examples of "rich kids" amounting to nothing.  It is all in your work ethic, especially in this country. 



I have no problem giving money to charities or poor people.  I do have a problem when the government tells me that I have no choice in the matter. 




Why on Earth would I think it is wrong to keep what you earned?  And that does not relate to my personal feelings towards poverty.  I am all for helping people, but I am not for stealing from a "rich" person to do so. 


Like I said, I am all for giving to charities, I give a ton, but I want to be the one to decide what to do with my money, not the government.
