Don't those who know what's best for us deserve to lead a life of luxury?

Kids are learning that all you have to do is be able to get people to cheer when you talk and you can be a world leader, a billionaire and have all sorts of power. I hope that the youth of the world that are prone to have psychopathic tendencies are ignoring the Messiah.

yes, everyone in some countries lives a life of luxury. This is a secret kept from most people in the USA. There are countries where no one is poor. The only reason the USA has so many problems is greed. The people who are greedy do not want others to have what they want but we could all have enough & then we would spend more money which would keep the country functioning. The USA is sick. Like a diabetic who has poor circulation in their feet. We deprive our bottom/support/ poor people from having blood/money. Then the rest of us don't funtion as well because of lack of circulation. I live a luxurious life cause I have learned about true prosperity & I teach others how to manifest the freedom they want in life & that is part of the reason I have so much freedom.

Well in my humble opinion I am the only one who knows what is best for me, The last time I checked I was a free man. I don't need someone dictating to me what is best for me. I have my own mind and body. Its not the governments job to dictate anything to us, they have been overstepping their boundaries for many many years. Its time to reign them in and get back to what the constitution is really about instead of this bastardization of it that has been going on. The Federal government wants and demands blanket mandates on all issues, I say leave it up to communities for how they want to live, that is the true America that I know.

It's social Darwinism, the survival of the fittest in Society, life is not fair, equal or easy.

If you are not prepared to fight "dog-eat-dog" then you deserve your fate....unbriddled greed reigns.

I know what's best for me. Where's my life of luxury? Heck, I'll even settle for a livable wage.

no... not in a representative republican democracy; which is what we are supposed to be. they are supposed to represent their constituency, and if they are all rich, then they only represent the rich.

i am not a socialist, or a communist. i do not believe in a leveling. i think that we all have a role in society, that we are all needed, but we are not all equal. that said, you shouldn't have to be wealthy to be a politician, and you certainly shouldn't become wealthy while being a politician.

how absurd.

I once read a book in high school titled Animal Farm. Our country is becoming very reminiscent.

As in our politicians?

I pay their bills, not the other way around.

So no, they are not entitled to lead a better life because they are upper class welfare rats.

Most people in this country have no idea what is best for their neighbor, so how can anyone really know what is best for you?

No they should be held to the same life style!
