Carmen, your words are nice. In theory that’s pretty much how it should be. But back here in reality, the “successful” use their strength to limit the opportunities of others in order to garner more “success”. And viewing “success” as a strictly individual effort gives people the idea they can ignore or worse exploit the rest of the community. And then just say they are successful and lay moral judgments on the rest. We should be working primarily for the betterment of mankind, and it shouldn’t be an accidental by-product.
Actually, if I’m reading this correct, It’s Trump saying “raping murderers”. And while a very small percentage of illegal immigrants commit those crimes most don’t. Which is why I wish that circus clown would go away.
There is no great philosophical difference among democrats, Trump, and establishment Republicans. Democrats favor abortion to constrain the lower classes, Trump wants to build a wall to keep out the lower classes, and establishment Republicans need the lower classes to keep their lawns mowed.
Tea Partiers embody the sentiments expressed by Carmen today. Only a minority of Americans do not want a nanny-state oligarchy.
First, you know that’s a racist phrase. Second, your very concept (stolen from Neal Boortz) indicates that only the wealthy are deserving and every one else is a loser. You are obviously a Koch. Or thrilled to carry water for them, more likely. They don’t even know you exist, other than as a profit center.

I’m waiting for Hillary to return the $100,000 Donald Trump gave her foundation a couple of years ago. And waiting, and waiting…

Yeah, Carmen. Makes you wonder if Hillary is funding Trump. She’s certainly got to be laughing.
