People making 200k in the Midwest do not own two houses. And housing being a problem in Cali sounds like a liberal problem. Again, your take on the Midwest is so unbelievably inaccurate.
Yeah, I do think liberals have this odd view that people who struggle have no choice. And people who succeed were just lucky. It is off putting and another reason liberals are got smoked in the election, at all levels of government.
And the current system is fine, but liberals want to raise taxes on the top. The top 10% pay 72% of taxes. The top 50% pay 97%... conclusion "take more money" is absurd.
At the end of the day your view is some odd camp fire kumbiyah and lacks actual human behavior, desire and motivation.
Liberals want everything to be a reeking pile of mediocrity so we are all equal, and solely depend on the government. I just don't agree. Excellence shouldn't be shunned, it should be celebrated. Â
Like a wise person once said, the problem with socialism is you eventually run out of other people's money. Â
I mean we live in a free society. You can always donate YOUR money. The problem is YOU want to decide what to do what MY money. Â

Well okay, this joke of a response clearly shows how a serious discussion with you is out of question. You simply tout the same old lines that you've dropped ten pages ago. Which have already been spoken about, but you can't even bother to adress anything that's slightly uncormfortable to you. Great debating style, man.Â

Please. The debate isn't going anywhere because you (and many others) want to ignore 50% of the population pays 97%. You (and others) want to ignore the US is dominating world markets. You (and many others) want to paint the US as being some struggling falling behind country, but the reality the US is top 15 in most categories and has an absurd amount of upward mobility. You simply want to paint the US as something it is not.

Want another stat? MS is the US's poorest state. And MS has around the GDP per capita as the United Kingdom.
US is 4% of the world's population but 27% of the world's GDP....
