      Am I wrong? You get a job, you work, and you pay for things. Or, you can give all of your money to the poor.

      I was poor once. You know what I did? I busted my A@@.

        Me too! You know what I did? I busted my @, and still do. Because I can.

        The taxes I pay, and the portion that goes to helping the poor and vulnerable doesn't alter my trajectory or life goals. My success is my own and taxes don't stand in the way of my greatness. Seems to be a popular excuse for a lot of people, though.

        This is one of those wastes of breath and life for both of us to argue. You do you, I'll do me.

          No excuses here. You said it yourself. Your success is your own. This world has the opportunity for everyone to achieve greatness/success. No matter who they are. They just need to bust their A@@.

            Why do we (you) care what poor people receive if it doesn't affect either of us, then? That's the difference....

              Since the thread is no longer discussing the topic, I'll go ahead and close it. Thanks.
