"…the issue is, are those of us who are successful willing to give back enough to provide a ladder of opportunity for others that are coming behind us"

I absolutely HATE this communard / collectivist notion of "giving back." If you are driven to succeed, keep your nose clean, and work hard you WILL succeed without anybody "giving back" anything. Whatever calling you freely choose to follow, you contribute to the betterment of society. People will buy the goods and services you freely choose to sell to others at a fair price that benefits buyer and seller. We all make many choices every day and society benefits.

And, you will have already “given back” a s***load of money in the form of taxes.

These liberal fascists never give up. Only....how are they going to take away all the guns? NWO can’t happen until they do.

You don’t “give back” to your parents nearly so much as you pay forward to your descendants. That’s what your parents did, and what you can expect that they expect of you.

Anyone who can afford to do so should “pay forward” as much as possible of the Social Security they get, to compensate for the Ponzi Scheme nature of that involuntary program.
