@ezegeorge2000@ABC As a God fearing man, your message insults Christianity. CHRIST is Love, not hate! You do not have to approve of what others do, but Christ as it is read IS love. The only one that can judge, did not when He could've. What sins have you done! Stop the hate!
@BasquiatBased@blueskiesfan @JosephCarlosPa3 @BernieSanders@JeffBezos You know this discussion really started due to Bernie and his focus on the rich. Anyone, should never feel guilty for their success. They should help where they can, but does it mean they are obligated to help all? If so, when can it stop? Where will it stop?
@BasquiatBased@blueskiesfan @JosephCarlosPa3 @BernieSanders@JeffBezos Says the person that has put limits to their ability, or enables those that are in the same boat. I manage over 160 people, number one issue, is they give up, they usually blame others, until I can teach those willing to try, anyone can succeed.
@blueskiesfan @JosephCarlosPa3 @BasquiatBased@BernieSanders@JeffBezos Lol! Um, I pay for police and fire protection in all the taxes i pay and pay into retirement and social security. But I will keep it in mind.
Socialism is about keeping everyone at one level. Which means the rich stay rich and the poor stay poor.
@blueskiesfan@BasquiatBased @JosephCarlosPa3 @BernieSanders@JeffBezos Have to disagree with you hugh. It is a fact. If you work hard, you will succeed. It makes me sad to know that you have already been beaten. But you are not alone. Many follow in your very steps. And PEOPLE at their core are selfish, regardless of capitalism or socialism.
@GoannaDood @9oldendragon @ScarletChaos1 @CorporateTuccha And for the record, nobody working just 80hrs per month will make a living wage, even at 15 an hour. If only PT is available, get multiple jobs to meet your needs. Aren't we tired of people making excuses of why they can't, when all it takes is hard work.
@GoannaDood @9oldendragon @ScarletChaos1 @CorporateTuccha Again, not debating the need for a change, but people are looking at the results of the laws in place. Lawmakers MUST be held accountable to fix. If min wage goes up, other pos must also inc, and corp. will must make same $. So there will not be a change as prices w inc to meet
@GoannaDood @9oldendragon @ScarletChaos1 @CorporateTuccha Or, you get more than one part time job. I am not debating the need for higher wages, but many people r fooling themselves in think this will fix the issue. With the laws the way they are, nothing can change, because everyone will get a raise. Which means prices have to go up.
@9oldendragon @GoannaDood @ScarletChaos1 @CorporateTuccha With all due respect your both wrong. Where wages are 725, rent is lower. At 15 an hour you can pay rent 1300, utilities 157 and eat. Not great, but minimally, thats at 40 hours a week X 4.33/X.8 (taxes). But there are 168 hrs per week. Only working 40? You want more go get it.
@CFLoridaMan122 @JosephCarlosPa3 @BasquiatBased@BernieSanders@JeffBezos As long as you believe that, you/they will always be right. OR, decide to not believe and keep trying to succeed. When we surrender we lose. I choose to keep fighting and now make a 6 figure income, no college, a minority and raised poor. What's your excuse?
@CFLoridaMan122 @JosephCarlosPa3 @BasquiatBased@BernieSanders@JeffBezos Then stop complaining and stop settling. I did and now make a six figure income. I am not done yet. Will keep trying to move up. Don't give up just because one company did you wrong, there are so many opportunities out there. Dont stop trying.
@blueskiesfan@AlbertoHdezGdl@BasquiatBased @JosephCarlosPa3 @BernieSanders@JeffBezos So that was your answer? Then you are correct, you/they cannot change because they make excuses like that. It is not relative. It is fact. I also am Mexican, and I made it. But you/they MUST work hard and reach for the goal, dont wait for it to come to you/them.
@blueskiesfan@AlbertoHdezGdl@BasquiatBased @JosephCarlosPa3 @BernieSanders@JeffBezos Sorry, wrong again. Been there, done that. You have to believe and not settle. Don't feel entitled. Anyone can do it. But they must work hard. Don't settle for a pt job, get several. If they are not happy, get out. There is always help available if you seek it.
@BasquiatBased @JosephCarlosPa3 @BernieSanders@JeffBezos Never said anything about lazy. If you believe that, you are absolutely correct. You/they cant change their status. However, if they don't settle and keep trying they can and will. I know, because I did. We were poor and all the rest, work hard and believe and don't settle
@sherridecembri1@RealGeorgOhm@SenSanders@RBReich And as long as you believe that, it will never change. I was poor, but I worked hard, and now... not so much. Stop the whine and find and fix the problem. Anyone can move up if they want, but it is not handed to you. You have to work for it. Sadly most just want to complain.
@RealGeorgOhm@SenSanders@RBReich You are talking like a person who understands how to fix the problem.
Too many people are only focusing on the symptoms or the results. They are not seeing the real problem. Nice call out.
@sherridecembri1@NotATweeter16@SenSanders@RBReich Actually, if you did your homework, China has almost double the number of billionaires than usa does. If you don't like our country, than leave. You are free to do that here. Not all countries give that to you. As for measuring wealth, it is all relative to the person measuring.
