Because you’re ‘just lucky’ they can tax all your earnings at a punishing rate to spread the wealth around.
If successful people are just lucky, then “minorities” are just unlucky. If they’re unlucky, then how can they blame Whitey for the lack of success?
So, kinda like a backwards wheel of tax fortune?
Psychologists know that there is a step by step procedure for acquiring skills, accomplishing change, and developing the know-how to be more effective and successful in a particular context, such as their careers and personal lives. The elements in the procedure are compelling futures for motivation, the belief in choice responses, flexibility of criteria to provide alternatives and choices, belief in cause-relative relationships, and relative specificity to provide the opportunity to make the operation of cause-effect relationships tangible.

Please don’t besmirch the Dick’s of the world. I don’t believe there’s the surname c*nt (yet).
He’s no Tricky Dick, outside of being a criminal.
Would have said just opposite. I think hes most unlucky as everything he touches is blighted.
He’s lucky he got to the White House,to the rest of the world he’s King Midas in reverse.
After letting this bang around in my head and getting pissed off about it, I suddenly realized this may be the first honest thing this joker has ever said about his own past and political path. And just because it’s the truth of his personal experience, it must be so for everyone. January cannot come soon enough.
The video of this speech is hard to watch - he is obviously boiling mad when he says the part about “your success is due to luck,” AND he adopts just a bit of black southern dialect. Ugh. Just go away, poseur.
“I find the harder I work the luckier I get.”
`Success is 98% perspiration, 2% inspiration.’
Unless you be a AA product.
Barry has set back civil rights twenty years.
He’s the proof in the pudding.
BO thinks all the world is about him. I think you nailed it.
It wasn’t nothing I did. Just work 2 jobs for the past 26 years, pay off my own college debt, mortgage, cars, pay my children’s way through college, (they be white middle class so they be not gettin nothin from the govment), on and on. I would be offended, but this is the constant mantra by this man in office. HE HATES AMERICA, when will the low fo group get this, or do they even care.
I don’t think Soetoro has ever affected a thicker black accent than in this speech at Howard. You can always gauge the depth of his contempt for his audience by the thickness of the phony black accent.
The whole “you didn’t build that” thing WAS based on ripping Obama’s words out of context. Originally, “that” referred, not to the business, but to roads, bridges, infrastructure. But he has since fully embraced the very interpretation of his words that he complained about.
That was Dick Gephart.
Thanks. I could have sworn it was Bill.
Him and Gephardt, two Peas in a Pod.
Successful people also avoid falling for scams. I almost fell for ScAmway and DID fall for an ‘opportunity’ at an insurance company where you worked 10 hour days 6 days a week and was paid nothing for two months. That will teach me to take a job that isn’t either salary or hourly paid!
