Most of the folks who helped me were bright, educated and motivated folks who willingly shared their knowledge and talent. I now find myself mentoring young, bright and educated young folks in kind. I’m generous with those who seek to learn and aspire to better themselves and so are most conservatives I know.

Enough defense, Mittons needs an offense. A third string QB could pick apart zer0 and score all afternoon.

All of the wealthy people I know got that way by creating/providing some good or service that people wanted/needed to make their own lives better.

In other words, they got rich by helping people help themselves.

And, they didn't do it alone. They took a lot of people with them on their way up and they all did well together.

Only politicians, bureaucrats and people like Soros got rich by hurting and taking advantage of people, but you don't last long in business doing that.

Those are obama's people, like minded, soulless floaters and fellow travelers, stinking up the place as they swirl their way down the drain.

Obama is just preparing America for the riot surprise
he and his community organizers have planned, using the Obama equivalent of his brown shirt movement.

Obanma and his minions , you see, are fascists. Not that the country may ever know, unless he is NOT defeated in November.

Then the country will be hammered on the anvil of the Obama Utopia.Obama and his minions now wage war on America to that end.

Good Read:

'YOU DIDN'T GET THERE ON YOUR OWN

In one sense, he's actually right -- You didn't get there on your own. Your 'getting there' benefited countless people who associated themselves with you.

Have to agree with it to a certain point. Where did the wealthy get the money to start out and set up their corporations? They lend it to themselves or did it just fall out of the magic money tree?

Karl Marx couldn’t have said it any better.

He must be looking up and saying, that’s my boy.

At any given time, the vast majority of millionaires in America were born into the lower or middle classes. The proportion of millionaires who were born into wealth has always been relatively low.

Sorry, you no-good BUM Obummer-

You are anti-New Hampshire,
anti-American and you are a genuine communist Kenyan fag.

The New Hampshire 1784 Constitution defines “pursuit of happiness’ as mentioned in Declaration of Independence to be
“the enjoying and defending life and liberty —ACQUIRING, POSSESSING AND PROTECTING PROPERTY”

“1784 New Hampshire Constitution
PART I. - THE BILL OF RIGHTS

ARTICLE I

All men are born equally free and independent; therefore, all government of right originates from the people, is founded in consent, and instituted for the general good.

II. All men have certain natural, essential, and inherent rights. among which are —the enjoying and defending life and liberty —ACQUIRING, POSSESSING AND PROTECTING PROPERTY and in a word, of seeking and obtaining happiness.”

==DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. —”

You're kidding right? Take a look at Forbes' 400 Richest People in America. You might want to prepare yourself to read, "self-made" quite a bit as it appears in a large percentage of their biographies. Even some who don't have, "self made' listed as their source of wealth are only a generation or two from it. No doubt many of these folks had early investors who believed in their ideas and similarly, many of them are currently invested in new ideas.

Unless the money was acquired by force, accumulating wealth by more than a few does require government; for basic ‘law and order’, for basic infrastructure, for contract and property rights, for honest weights and measures, etc.

You just know he was talking to himself...even if it was a freudian slip.

He would not be rich if Bill Ayres hadn’t written his fiction for him.
