As for the concept that the richest get the best of breaks, I have to disagree. I have two siblings male and female and they were given the same opportunities as I, but they chose differently. My sister is currently living in what I consider poverty standards given that she has half a dozen kids and only her husband works a construction job that he lays out of at least 3 times a month. She will not get her lazy healthy a** up and work, but blames everyone but herself. Needless to say she is truly dreadful. They also get about $5,000 every tax season for living this way. I guess it’s a reward??? I on the other hand have three kids and work for myself, my spouse contracts for a national resource company about 6-8 months a years then is up my a** for the remainder. We get no refunds! We pay way more than my less productive brother-in-law??? Why is that Rasta???

Now I’m not complaining, because we are blessed and do get some useful write offs due to donations, some Fed breaks, real estate, etc.. and the greatest invention of all time expense accounts and accountants. No one ever has handed me $5,000 for working. I have built everything I have and currently have 29 employees between 4 businesses. I only started the latest business for my son. Yes he is a 15 year old Jr. Republican and wanted the chance, so I invested my money into him. That was 9 months ago and to date he has turned a small profit, witch I told him not to expect but he is a thinker and has a good teacher.

This misconception that the rich get richer because the gov is helping is ridiculous.

BTW I have created jobs as well as spend money every day.

We all have choices man..
Excellent posting!!

Your siblings sound like both of my brothers in law....
