Who has more to gain from funding a military that protects America's oil and trade interests? The poor or the rich?

Who has more to gain from funding education and health care so they can have an educated healthy pool of workers to hire from? The poor or the rich? Who has more to gain from funding the bailout? The poor or the rich assholes on Wall Street that got us into this mess? etc. etc. etc. Rich people get more out of America (or any stable government and economy for that matter), so they should put more back in. |
Well, with your school remark, the people that get the most out of school are actually the people that strive to get the most out of it. It is one's own fault if they did not try in school and could not do something as simple as getting at least semi-decent grades (C's and better). I have to laugh, there was a kid in my high school wanted me to help him with math, because he has lots of trouble on it. I decided, sure, I'll do a good thing. Next day, he's texting in class. No more tutoring him by me.
Money can't buy happiness. Just video games, which make me happy.
