Mercedes in the family portrait? Well yea that referred to no/low income folks you were talking about.
I'm all for people succeeding, on their own. It's what makes this country great. Our poor are rich compared to the rest of the world. I'm simply trying to stop the march towards socialism.

Saying "our" poor are rich compared to the rest of the world is meaningless to those who are poor. If you are elderly and have to decide whether to buy food or needed medicine, unemployed and unable to pay bills, living in the middle of the war zones which are our inner cities etc. it's small comfort to be told there are others worse off than you. Rather than worry about socialism, you might spend more time thinking about being led to the brink of our society's collapse by those who care only about greed. How much is enough?
