[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let me posit this: for those of you who preach “personal responsibility” and believe it’s so feasible to pull oneself up by the bootstraps, why are you saving for your kids’ college? Why are you creating a trust fund for them? Why do you live in McLean? If it’s so simple to just work hard and make it no matter where you’re from, why bother with all of that? Can’t your kid just save up money themselves like you tell poor kids to? [/quote]

Because poor kids who study and get good grades get their tuition paid for through a combination of taxpayer dollars and subsidies from college endowments.  If there is a shortfall, they take out loans, just like most of us who are saving did.  And then Elizabeth Warren will probably try to pay off those loans for them.  UMC kids don't receive these freebies, so their parents have to save as well as pay the taxes.[/quote]

Oh my goodness please leave your bubble. [/quote]

What is your vast knowledge of the poor?  I could put my street cred up against yours, I'm sure.[/quote]

Different post to hear, only an idiot troll says stuff like I can put my streak right Witcha street CRED have to do with understanding poverty and different experiences that has nothing to do with so-called street CRED take that crap back to four Chan.
Poverty is a multilayered, nuanced circumstance that affects every aspect of a child’s life, from how he is treated by others to how many meals a day he gets to what extra curricular an extra academic opportunities are made available to him or to her.
It never fails to amaze me how people have such little insight into experiences that are different than their own that they think things are so black and white that helping someone else’s somehow taking away from them! His help us as we see  how selfish and ignorant people are!![/quote]
