Yeah i had brought this up in another post as well. Screw the americans in poverty , raise thier taxes to help out other foreign countries.

Someone brought up something about nobamas brother living in poverty, living in a hut somewhere. The comment was about nobama saying ya need to take care of your family, the comment was made if nobama gave his brother a 20.00 it would double his monthly wage. His brother lives in a hut, if he wont help his brother do u think he is gonna help any of us?

If stockboy davie opens his wallet and finds, lets say 300.00 in there and gives half of it to someone who needs it more, without getting pissy, i would buy into the obama thing. But since nobamas biggest supporter wont give away half his paycheck every two weeks, DONT ask everyone else to do it either!

OK!  NOW, you've got ME on the bandwagon.  I work for Wal-Mart, am DAMNED proud of it!  I worked for the City of Muscatine for 30+ years.  Started in 1976 for 4,16/hr.  Couldn't afford the Citys' Insurance after retirement ($1632/month), went to work for Wal-Mart with insurance for a hellofa lot less than the City with same/better coverage!  Make 2 digit/hr income, and am PLEASE with the people I work with/for!  DON'T TELL ME THAT YOU KNOW WHAT WAL-MART ASSOCIATES MAKE, BECAUSE QUITE FRANKLY, YOU DON'T HAVE A CLUE!  And, IF you THINK that you do, I'm sorry, BUT, you're SADLY mistaken!  Tom.

I'm just going to go out on a limb and say you're talking about me. First of all and with all due respect never assume you know what I make. Secondly what I make is none of your business. You must have some ego to challenge someone else to support those that have less. In helping others it is not my wallet you should concern yourself..... Take a peek inside your own wallet and at your own self worth. If helping others  is  with in your ability and desire more power to you. What I choose to do and to whom I choose to help is my business. 

davie's quote: "What I choose to do and to whom I choose to help is my business." Please tell that to nobama, davie. I'm glad you have demonstrated that when it comes to your redistribution of wealth; you completely disagree with nobama's philosophy. 

Why would you want a politician to treat anyone any different than your own preconceptions on the matter, davie?
