Re: Bill Of No Rights!
Mellowyellow, Pt.1 I was born in this ****ry that fact makes me a native american. It's irrelevent if a immigrant can speak english when they arrive here. Whats important is if they make the effort and learn it. Americans/immigrants who refuse to learn english set themselves apart from our distinct english speaking culture. This only serves to divide us. Most words have factual meanings[native, immigrant]. To change the definition of words to suit whatever point your trying to make is wrong and will only fool the people tou refer to in point#2 Pt.2 I agree the public school system is horrible but it's not from lack of money which I assume you infer by leaving out the "rich" suburbs. The biggest problem with most schools, publi and private, is that a large percentage of children have parent who have let the schools take the responsibility of raising the kids. Lack of parental disipline, preschool[daycare] after school programs[daycare], sex ed. political correctness, non-judgementalism, morals etc. In school as in life if you really want to better yourself and work hard you will. You ask "what kind of citizens does this creat?" It creats people who look at the government for all the answers to whatever problem they see or creat. And thats the road this country has been traveling down for decades. Pt.3 Most all politicians are interested in getting re-elected, so what. We decide who comes who goes, thats one of the beuties of our Constitution. The status quo is changing and as long as we live under a representative republic it always will.I hear & read about many controversial subjects being proposed, debated, attacked, misrepresented,lied about, buried etc. The problem isnot "that they don't do anything at all" it's that they do. Iv'e seen a whole lot of changing in this country. Pt.4 Define rich, poor and middleclass? I wonder what I am. There are not mostly 2 types of jobs. There are thousands of types of jobs and if you don't want any of them you can creat your own. A parent can [and should] stay home with their child if they are willing to put that benifit to their child ahead of their wants. Pt.5 Bill Gates does not "deserve" to be rich he earned it. Who the **** are you to decide how much money Gates or anyone "needs". As for the 90%-5% term, so what. As long as we live in a free country you will always have people who are more successful at various things. If you were allowed to take that 90% of the money and give it to who or whatever, it whould be only a matter of time before the 5% have earned it back. As for "cheating" the tax system. These people do the same thing I do when I file, which is I try to keep as much of my money as I legally can. Whats wrong with me? If it wasn't for them greedy rich folks paying their "fair" share all of our taxes whould be more.
