    Yet when you do have it to buy expensive bicycles and single malt scotch and have a nice healthy meal meal that organic foods are not cheap, cost of living may look simple because you do have it, hens the hypocritical obtuse ignorant dickweed notation

    And it was very nice the bum saved the dog that the limo driver may have not seen, given the benefit of the doubt of not being deliberate

    The rest of your thought may be the sadness of the bum and the jealousy of the guy who could afford to take the limo, but that i have my doubts, considering you could actually afford to take the limo yourself if you chose too.,

    Again saying that it is good to live in Canada and have the choice
    The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money

    There is some good points in here Meg, but you would have to restructure cost of living big time and the conception of people of what they think values of things, housing, commodities, collectibles etc....

    Example, a Gretzky rookie card just sold for 1 million dollars, a piece of art could be worth ?? etc?? Your home/Condo??

    Yes i do think people that having personal wealth should be taxed higher and actually they are!!! So give me a percentage or number you think it should be?? right now with the tax scale, it ends up 50-51% you are taxed here!! So for every $1 you make the government takes one from you, how much more should the government be entitled too of your hard earned money??

    I will repeat again, the concept of Power has to be taken out of wealth!!!! But if you earned it or successfully made it how much you have and how you spend it should be your choice, Hens a Democratic Capitalist country/society structure...

    The same who do you want to dictate this or control the excess wealth you don't want the person to have?? Government?? Please don't say that!!!! Then your concepts really go down the tubes buddy

    Again i just read through you post once, but you know me i have to read it a few times to see what is really in it...

    Interesting thought for sure........

    But you have also never said they are good and you are one of them, just like i am, hens your name

    You don't fit in to the poor person category buddy, so your agreement in helping them is commendable, and i agree with you there as well....

    Solutions????

    Hey, just for kicks, which party do you think that is? Spoiler alert, it's not the one you are thinking of.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._e...can_presidents
    Sure you are right, but don't you think the parties have changed drastically over the years??

    I was talking about now, look at the last administration that was 8 years, what are you going to tell me it was them that made the economy records for the last 4?? Come on Cabby, read even the first few paragraphs of that link all based on Economy!!, now you add a Wuhan China Virus pandemic, and a media that is completely funded to be against a party or person, what do you expect right..

    I will ask you one question and that will tell me everything about you buddy.

    Hate the Fucker or not

    Yes or No??

    If there was no Chinese Wuhan China Virus, and the economy was booming the way it was and yes all because of Trump!!, and even with Trumps mouth do you think he would have lost??

    Again i am trying to figure out how more people voted for Biden then Obama?? Fucking guy never left the fucking basement!!!!

    Oh well it is over and done with....
