Im glad you live what you talk. Still doesn't make demonizing the rich right though.

I do get paid to coach basketball in the winter but i only do it because i played in college and now i want to help teens.

But when i coach in the hood during summer league that's voluntary and i only do it to help kids from the ghetto.

As for demonizing the rich that's ridiculous considering money = resources = food, shelter and infrastructure.

Imagine public schools failing and teachers being underpaid while all the money to fix these problems lies in the top 100 billionaires.

So don't give me that demonizing the rich bullshyt because the only people being demonized here is the ultra wealthy.

By the poll results so far it looks as if we have 6 billionaires posting here on the coli.

@GinaThatAintNoDamnPuppy! you might need to objectively rethink your views on this.

You're a good poster in other threads so i'm just asking you to just rethink how you feel about this topic.

If you're a millionaire that's cool but i doubt you're a billionaire that truly fathoms the amount of wealth on this forbes list.

I hope a real liberal like Bernie Sanders wins the primary.

Sure you have plenty to be jealous about. Unless you are at the point where you don't have to work, you have plenty to be jealous about in regards to billionaires. That's the only explanation I have for why you would take such a shaky stance built on false premises. I.e. you speak of rich folks getting their money by "hoarding" it as though rich people don't work or invest and earn their money, ever.

And I did offer a solution. More investments into education and job placement/public work programs for the poor. The difference is I don't think we have to go after money rich people already paid taxes on to do it. Rich people already pay the majority of taxes, do the lion share of investing and generally drive the economy with their contributions... so putting even more of a burden on them is stupid. What we can do though is reappropriate money we are already using and put it to better use. Instead of spending a trillion dollars a year on the military we can spend that on education. Keep welfare around, but make it a public work program for people who are able to do so. Like you said we need to invest in infrastructure... why not employ the people on welfare to help with some of that? Expand Medicare/Medicaid into a single payer program anyone can enroll in. Etc. etc. I'm tired of brehs using poverty as a backdrop for exacting revenge on people with more money than them. We don't have to go after the rich to solve every problem.

sure rich ppl work hard to invest their money...

"rich people don't work or invest and earn their money, ever"

I feel sorry for anyone who believes this.
