Why is that we live in a nation that hates it's wealthy? Being rich is a sin 'round here! Being rich must make you a bad person. Americans just love to tear a successful person down. Doesn't matter that 80% of America's wealthiest were self made...in other words they earned it, not inherited it. Being poor is not a choice. The poor do not need the Democrats or anyone else to take care of them...what they need is independence. Financial independence and a higher standard of living. Not just lower taxes, but inexpensive education. High quality education that everyone can afford has numerous and obvious benefits for everyone--rich and poor. From kindergarten through college, we must make it so that everyone who wants a good education can easily get one. It is our duty to help the less fortunate in any way possible, but as Franklin Roosevelt once said, "the dole is a dangerous thing." People must be able to help themselves. If Nobius ran for President, it would be this simple....America would again have the best educational system in the world, second to none, equal for all, available to all. Every American deserves it and deserves to be able to pay for it. Or perhaps we've forgotten that this is the Information Age.
