Bravo, Luz. Bravo!

This is America. Anyone who really wants to better themselves can. Before people go saying that I'm just some rich white kid whose parents put him through school, well, I'm not. I had to sacrifice and suffer to get through school, and when I graduate in August, I can look in the mirror and know that I WORKED for every bit of it, and nobody gave me a thing. The closest thing I got to people giving me money was the loans I took out. And those loans are available to anyone who cares to fill out the paperwork.

White or black, the help is out there if you want to get an education and better yourself. In fact, there's probably more help for blacks than for whites because of all the minority scholarships available.

Lbedrock1-- the tax codes are written for the rich?!? Is that why they pay 39%?!? lol that is the most absurd thing I've ever heard.

Our system of taxation is unfair, yes, but it's unfair to the poeple who are rich. Why should you punish me for becoming a success? Why should I pay more than my neighbor down the street who refuses to do anything with his paycheck other than spend it on beer?

And just so everyone knows, I made less than 10k last year. I'm not defending the rich because I'm one of them (although I hope to be someday) but because I think our society of victims has gone too far. "I don't make enough money because Joe Richdude down the street has taken it all." lol whatever.
