Americans make up half of the world's richest 1%

I'll file that in the circular-file along with the rest of the usual neo-con generalizations, talking points and unsubstantiated crap.

Really....so if you work hard, you can't make a living? I don't know any hard working people who don't make a living....unless they have made poor decisions in life, which is something they also have a right to do.

Another neo-con generalization, talking point and unsubstantiated crap.

You are amazing LJ....you can't refute or even discuss something, so you just call anything you don't agree with "neo-con, conservative, Tea bagger, etc. Crap". No wonder your side doesn't have any new ideas.

"...evidence abounds that the fundamental cause of Third World poverty is not First World greed ... it is the economic, political and social obstacles that developing nations themselves raise to progress by their aspiring poor." -- Katherine Kersten in the Minnesota Star Tribune,March 20, 1996

You're amazing too... You still make these generalizations right off of the talk-radio wacko channels, and provide no proof other than your ignorance, bias, and bigotry.

I made no generalization at all. I quoted an article dealing with world poverty. If you're not interested in the details, that's not my fault. I know it's much easier for you just to make a snide-assed remark and go on... well... maybe I should say that you are not intelligent enough to make anything but snide-assed remarks. But there is a WHOLE article that's behind that quote and you have enough info in the quote to find the details... if you care to educate yourself... otherwise... keep singing... la... la... la... la... I can't hear you TLGT.

I make my generalizations (of course they are generalizations, we are talking about Americans as a whole), and they come from personal experience. Your method of trying to demonize my opinion by just claiming I'm ignorant, or a bigot without any facts to back those accusations up is childish. If you want to prove I am any of the above, please provide facts.

Of course I am biased. So are you, and so is everyone who posts their opinions. At least I admit my bias as a conservative...will you admit your bias as well?

Nice Avatar! Kill them F...Steelers!

She who never admit she is biased, she would only say she is right on every subject she posts and F the rest of us non- believers.

Back to the actual topic...

The rest of the world has been schooled by the US as to how to create wealth...some have followed and prospered and some have rejected our model and have remained hungry. I would much rather be poor in this country than in any other...at least I have a better chance of climbing the ladder again.
