Do you know many professions including medicine that can afford a mortgage of 600,000 dollars if they have to purchase the investment without the help of mommy and daddy- which I suspect is how many of the flamers on this board "earned" the houses that they live

That's a cheap and unnecessary shot. Who the hell do you think you are, drawing unwarranted conclusions about how people here earned their living? I'd venture most of the successful posters here did it on their own; guilt ridden liberals are usually the ones who haven't earned their money.

Are you guilt ridden?

I would agree 100%. Inherited wealth accounts for very little wealthy out there, and I imagine it's even lower amongst freepers, who seem to be much more industrious and involved than most.

However, that being said, Porterville's comments were obviously inspired by the rampant "Let them eat cake" attitude from many. While I don't agree with his conclusion, I certainly understand his indignation.
