Elephant,

To set the record straight, just because i make way, way less than $250,000 a year DOES NOT MEAN That I "don't work and have no will to work." thankyouverymuch.

I dont care what your political allignment is DON'T make gross assumptions about anyones work ethic based on their annual income. my spouse and i make a combined 40k a year and you know what? We work our ASSES OFF for every single penny we bring home.

have your oppinion on "Sharing the wealth" i dont care, the financialy wealthy can keep their money. But dont you dare tell me i have no will to work. I am welthy in the ways that count, health, happiness, and a home full of love and you know what? Everyhitng i own means that much more to me to know that I work and scrimp and save to have the things i want. and then i know that MY Will to work has paid off.
