I just don't understand why on earth you think the government will do a better job than some corporation.
So Hilary was right to use her private email address! She doesn't trust the government either! Incorrect, she's a crook and doesn't want to have a paper trail.

But anyway:
1) Vale SA
2) Microsoft Corp.
3) Cisco Systems, Inc.
4) Akron, Inc.
5) Halliburton Company
6) The Coca-Cola Company

I'm so anti capitalism I decide to share all my money with my co workers.
Why should I make more than them ?

But you know it's there.
Look, you actually seem like one of the better trust fund folks I've come across, but it colors your entire outlook.
You have something to fall back on. Risks are easier. You don't need to sweat things like student loans (I'd assume, correct me if I'm wrong) etc. Basically you had a leg up on others to start, and looking down on them because they didn't have that is a sure-fire way to get people to pretty much hate you.
And saying things are "an excuse for someone to not succeed" is pretty much textbook rich person speak for "I'm better than you because (money)".
Edit: That is to say, it's just as bad as me writing you off as a "trust fund baby" who didn't earn anything himself, see? That made you angry -- or, at least, you took exception at some level. And it works both ways.

Well they also noted that until the deal is passed through congress and becomes a treaty, the next president can simply undo it.
See this is what we've degraded to, speaking truth is considered treason. What's next, someone's gonna insist that congress has no business in how the country relates to Iran?
Too bad we aren't negotiating a treaty with Iran, and the idiot that wrote the letter is on the record in saying his goal is to sabotage the peace talks with Iran, so yeah, pretty treasonous for a US Senator. Of course, the letter got shredded by the Iranians, so now its just bad PR for the GOP as they continue to do nothing.

My student loans are paid off, and I paid Libor +3% rate, which is a worse rate than most subsidized loans one can get.
Mind you, I didn't have to worry about getting the loan (it was a related party loan), but I still paid it off without touching one dime of my trust.
And saying things are "an excuse for someone to not succeed" is pretty much textbook rich person speak for "I'm better than you because (money)". Having money prior to success doesn't create it. There are a lot of people who worked for their success, and every single one of them became successful because of their hard work and efforts.
I'm not better than anyone. I will never say that, nor imply it. Because success isn't the amount of money you have in your bank account, it's the reward:effort ratio one achieves in their lives.

Then it gets broken down into what people consider rewarding. Some consider the intangibles, others the material and tangibles as a means of measuring success.

Having money doesn't guarantee success. Lots of people make it then loose it.

If I had a lot of money I probably would spend most of it on things I don't need.
Jet skis 5,000 dollar computers solid gold bathroom etc !

I'm sorry but this:

Does imply it. You might not realize it, but it does.
I don't begrudge people success. I envy it and wish to emulate it, and in some ways I am. And I look to do more in the days and years ahead.
But try to realize that people gauge success differently, and "feels" are -- in fact -- important. Succeeding at the cost of making someone else a miserable failure is hollow. At least to me.

That is how the world works. Not everyone will succeed. Capitalism doesn't care if you fail.
If it was easy everyone would be rich.

You can be successful in life without being rich. But some people focus on making money others on whatever it is that drives them.
Random Politics & Religion is for topics that aren't thread worthy on their own and do not have their own existing thread.
Rules and Guidelines
Forum Rules and P&R Section Guidelines still apply.
Satire is tolerated.
If your topic covers a story over 6 months old (Watergate, Benghazi, 2012 Election, etc.) post it here.
Discussions on racism, homophobia, transphobia, and the like are allowed, targeted insults based on these will not be tolerated.
Political debates get heated and are meant to be intense, if you take offense to being called or proven wrong, you don't belong here.
If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen; if you prove you can't handle the criticism you bring upon yourself in this thread, you may be removed from it. You are responsible for what you post.
Along those lines, heat is fine, but sustained, clearly personal hostility is not okay. The personal attack rules still apply. Attack positions, not posters. Failure to adhere to this will result in your removal from the thread.
This thread is NOT the Flame Core.
These rules are subject to change and modification where and when needed.
