Yup, no matter how little you think you have, there's always going to be somebody that thinks you have too much.

You are wrong. You did SAY equal opportunities, but what you really meant was equal results. Think about your words again.

Just because someone is poor does NOT mean that he has not had the same opportunities in life. Do you think that guys like Bill Gates, and Steve Jobs really hade more opportunities than you or I? No they just had better results with what God gave them. Now you want to confiscate their property and give it to "the poor". That is not granting equal opportunities, that is forcing equal results.

As a bit of a side note your quote above is EXACTLY the Communist creed, incase you were unaware.

You act all holy and try to look as if you are better than others, but in reality you are nothing but a hypocrite who keeps on going with personal insults, yet pretends to be above that.

Anyone with an IQ over 15 and any decency, does not believe in that.

So of course the socialists are all for it.

The fact that these posts are representative of you on a good day proves my opinion of you - albeit not a professional medical one, admittedly - as expressed before.

I'm not sure if you are descibing me as either right-wing or as angry. I can live with being called right-wing, but I am not angry.

That is until you try to confiscate any of my property. Then you'll see me get angry.

Seriously, I don't believe Hazell is rich moneywise, but she's rich in the sense that she's doing what she enjoys for living and makes sufficiently to afford that.

:laugh:

Fiero, my are in trouble my man. Me earning enough to be rich. Rich? RICH?

Eki's right. I'm in no way rich money-wise. I'm on a very low income in fact. Tax, let us say, is not much of an issue for me. In fact, the government owe me money this year (which I won't be claiming as they've paid out enough on my behalf in the past) and I doubt I'll even be a tax payer next year.

However, I'm able to eat, run a vehicle and keep horses. That makes me rich. I own stuff and have no debts at all. I've never had a loan in my life except the mortgage and I can pay my bills on time. Some was saved and has now bought another house with a mortgage's help.

I indirectly employ, but not directly (except for the dogs. They're unpaid labour and frankly deserve nothing more :p : ). That's important to me. Given a choice, I go for locally made products that employ people in this area who will then spend their money with me in turn.

An example is Wagg petfood employees buying Pointer Pet Food in my shop. I sell both and both are fairly local to me. The woodburning stove briquettes I sell are locally grown and made, etc.

In short, I strongly believe everyone has a roll to play in earning and spending in a way that employs those who can then earn and spend as near to home as possible .... helping yet more earn and spend like a rippling pond. That's how some areas became rich and some poor and long may it reign!

Buy British :up:
