Thats not what he meant.

6 figure pay check...thats like professor/doctor pay isn't it? Giving to the less fortunate isn't required - but it would sure as hell be cool.

Because handing someone a wad of cash is the best way for them to make their way out of poverty, isn't it? [/sarcasm]

EDIT: In case you didn't get it, I think that providing jobs / raising wages / lowering product prices is just as, if not more, effective.

It's better than having them become homeless and starve to death, isn't it?

I'm sorry, I don't mean to completely derail the conversation, but I just HAVE to point out this type of irony when it happens.

You used the wrong "your" and you should've used "an". Don't call people idiots if you're going to grammar fail in the same sentence...

If they jack taxes through the roof because they're convinced you're rich, then no, you're not.

Also, there's a difference between losing it all and losing a substantial amount. Even now, you're losing a significant amount due to taxes.

You shouldn't have to succeed double in life to achieve the amount of money you technically made in the first place.

Hell, nowadays it's ridiculous -- you're greedy if you succeed in life and don't want to give all of your money away.

Except, it IS required. That's what taxes do.
And now they will more than ever.

I would go into a rant about the term "less fortunate", but I'm too tired.

On my 5th 4 Loko and still ****** you.
Just want to say, I'm so glad that I got to vote in my first presidential election as I missed the last one by only a few months. I'm glad Barack got elected over McCain, and hopefully he'll back all of his claims. I'm at a loss for words over what went down tonight, history in the making and all of us got to be there for it.

Here is something to ponder.
If Barack Obama would apply for a job with the FBI or with the Secret Service,
he would be disqualified because of his past association with William Ayers,
a known terrorist.

If he is elected President he would not qualify to be his own body guard!
It's Hard to believe this man could be President of USA.

See, you guys, are the worthless members of America, whos votes corrupt an actual ballot.

You post petty arguments on claims of nothing. This guy served in the War for you and all you do is talk smack about him. Then some muslim guy comes a long who CAN NOT be an FBI or a legal agent because of his known acts, not because hes old or anything like that.

Im ashamed to be part of a forum were a moderator acts like that.

Palin's preacher named a woman a witch and almost got her stoned to death.

Ayers and Obama served together on several boards and new eachother, as did hundreds in Chicago. Ayers has even been congratulated by papers for his work on education. Stop with your delusional claims and look at the facts, or go cry more tears about how we elected a terrorist. I enjoy them

See, now I can just say you're a delusional idiot because anyone who still thinks Obama is a muslim is a liar or racist who refuses to take the basic steps of research.

Obama is a Christian. His father was born Muslim, but a practiced atheist. That would be like claiming that I am a Catholic. Stop bashing the person. I don't support Obama at all, but I find you to be nothing helpful to the side that opposes him.
