maybe if you didnt abuse the luxury of taking a year off work you might contribute your share of taxes
Maybe if you didn't abuse the luxury of passive income enforced by the State you might contribute yours.

Move over, I think we are about to admit many thousands of displaced Afghans to ‘the streets’. Ahhhh, soon everyone will be equal.
No I'd prefer to guide them toward democracy and justice. The Afghans can join us if they want.

May I respectfully lift your sentence,,,"the life I've chosen". Libs have trouble with that. I am always explaining the beauty and the joy of choosing. Anything you want in America. It is so cool. Well,, it has been but might not be so easy now. Some people work harder than others, and we will start feeling the 'tilt' soon,,,,,like, in the school yard when 3 kids would get on one end of the seesaw.
Always with the propaganda.

Well good on you. I guess you grow into your bills, the more you make the more you have to spend. When do you have time to sleep?
When I work for 20 bucks an hour for me it is my second income, we get about 2800 a month on SS so I really get 35 bucks an hour and when I get that I can pay my bills.

I'm angry because of the homeless wretches, not because of myself, you sick minded jackass.

There's something wrong with people like you that think you "need" 8 acres of backyard to "get by"
son “getting by” has never been my target

Actually, no alien can join us “If They Want”. Classic Lib. What else can they have “”” If they want”? Or is it just that?
And why won’t you answer this?

I've always wanted to ask, in re money, a basic question: Should a person be allowed to make money 'in their sleep'.?? Jeff Bezos makes about $9M dollars an hour. So if he sleeps for 8 hours, he makes $72M while he is sleeping .....EACH night.

Absolutely but it should be heavily taxed

When I was about to get married in 2004, I was making $700/week working for a brand new startup company. I was sitting around a table with a friend and his father (a STEM department head at a major university, but I digress) and discussing things. My plan was to start having kids right away (which we did).

My friend's father looks at me and says "within a few years, you'll be making six figures." I responded "How? This company isn't going to give me such massive raises so quicky."

He answered: "It's simple. You're going to have no choice."

If I didn't have a big family and need the money, I'd be making, at most, half of what I do now. We do what we need to do to provide for our families. It's human nature. Necessity of the mother of invention.

Sounds like jealousy rearing its ugly head here. There will ALWAYS be billionaires and paupers so what else is new?
