Rich people are always going to seek "the best". I just think if Canada can do it, we can do it 2 times better! And resolve the 30-40 million people who lack health care coverage. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Rich people are rich because they work so hard. Rich people most likely have to go to classes often for whatever field they are in, they must work hard to achieve customer satisfaction, etc...I bet these "rich people" put in twice as many hours as the average american. I'm sure Trump worked day and night to get where he is today. Probably over 100+ hours a week. He may be rich, but I wouldn't ever work that hard for money. | |

| And a lot of these "rich people" give back to the community. Not in the way that Michael Jackson would  , but Bill Gates, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Oprah, Donald Trump, etc. | |

| This might be a stupid question but...don't a lot of successful people that have careers get retirement plans/pensions through their work, negating the need for social security? People obviously still want to collect social security since they payed the taxes their whole life. Why then do we bother with social security in the first place? Because we don't know if we'll be successful, if we'll have a career where our retirement comes from work. This is why I say Social Security is flawed at its core and should not exist, or at least should exist in some other form or program. But it don't take much to get me by So just booze me up and get me high Ween | |||||||||||||||||||||

| We have social security because a lot of Americans do not know how to "save money". | |

| So if the conservative argument is going to be along the lines of people not being able to help themselves, why are they against so many Social Aid programs? | |||||||||||||||||||||
