Do you get that even though he "failed" he is still stinking rich and taken care of. The EO you speak of IS NOT available to MOST people. Poor people get shafted MOST of the time, unless someone wants to look good and elevate themselves by giving the poor person(s) opportunities.

Donald Trump and Fred Trump Jr. each had equal opportunities to each other. One failed, one succeeded. Yet they both had an equal launch pad in life. Nowhere in my post did I make the claim that most people are born into millionaire families. You can't seem to follow the simple logic of my argument without bitching about how unfair it is that not everybody gets to be an heir to a fortune. Millionaires are allowed to have children and raise families just like everybody else.

I'd agree.Quote:

This might be true, but you can't use the example of two very wealthy white men to support it.

Why not?
Have you seen what happens to a lot of these mega-millions lottery winners? They blow it all and just end up poor again.

I was pointing out a logical flaw in your reasoning. Your premise doesn't support your conclusion.
I also disagree with your conclusion. Fred Trump had much more opportunity than Vanderbuilt did (though there is an argument to be made that Fred was born with an inclination to an awful disease and therefore he didn't have much of a shot to begin with). That Vanderbuilt was able to do the "rags to riches" thing doesn't mean that in 9999/10000 cases it doesn't happen.

You dont have to get rich, you just have to do smething. most people dont do anything and whine about where they are and dont go anywhere

Do you think it's fair that Mark Zuckerberg came along out of nowhere and became an overnight Billionaire while multi-generational millionaire family's children are still unable to make their first Billion?
It's pretty cool to live in a country with an economy where such anomalies are even possible. You should be grateful. There's plenty of other socio-economic situations around the world and throughout history where creating huge personal wealth from nothing was not just an unlikelihood, it was outright legally prohibited.
I'm not arguing that everyone has an equal chance of becoming a millionaire (or billionaire). I'm not arguing that it should be made easier to achieve, in one generation, the same amount of wealth that it takes other families multiple generations to achieve.
I'm not arguing in favor of forced wealth redistribution. I don't believe in theft, only confiscation of stolen wealth, and redistribution to those it was stolen from. You can argue that some people are rich because they've earned it from war profiteering or they've inherited blood money and "pirate loot" from their ancestors. If you can not only prove it, but also quantify an actual amount, then it would be fair to confiscate that actual amount (MUCH easier said than done). But short of pulling off a world court Robin Hood miracle, everything else I've said so far is logically and morally sound.

If you black, a race war is the last thing you would want in the US, but you're too ignorant to understand that fact.

If we had a full scale race war, a lot of unarmed, white libtards in places like Chicago would end up being slaughtered during the beginning skirmishes before the violent uprising was ultimately quelled in a matter of days. And those white libtards, under their last dying breath, will whimper the words "but I hated whitey too".

Why would they be slaughtered? NRA theory says there aren't very many guns in Chicago, since fewer guns results in more gun crime. Chicago has fewer guns than almost anywhere.
