Delusional.
No the answer is Sleeper gonna Sleeper. Proved wrong but would never accept it.

When I'm wrong I will admit that I am wrong. That is part of unbiased and rational discourse. I am okay with changing my opinion based on new data and new perspectives. In fact, most people who have a brain and any amount of self-awareness do this; when are you going to grow up?

And most of them live off of some form of government aid, yet you get upset at the very small percent who aren't a burden on society.

I get upset at them? No I acknowledge they exist. Which is apparently hard to do.

Maybe there's mutual fail in "Unconditional Responsibility".

This is a straddle the middle of the road position that claims all sides are to blame.

You whined about them for pages. Sleeper showed you that there are only 635 such people in this country.

This article states 80% of self made millionaires are self made. So most is a pretty safe bet.

No ones doubting most are.. so your statistics say about 2 million people in America are millionaires through no work of their own. Sleeper thinks 2 million people don't exist.

And how many of that 20% still work hard? I would bet most of that 20% does.

Pretty much this. We can hear liberals QQ all day that kids of rich parents have it good and boo hoo it's not fair, but most of those rig parents pass down their hard working values to their children. Society has just let stupid ass reality shows on E, Bravo, MTV, ruin their perception on these rich folks. They see the kardashians and automatically think every child of a rich parent sits on their ass and lives off the success of their own parents.

Sorry.. assumptions and personal perceptions aren't allowed on this site. I'm going to need you to cite these numbers.

You stated so many more (millions) of Americans are wanting to leave and go to those socialist nations in Europe (you ONLY listed countries from Europe in the EU). I showed you actual immigration statistics from the US to the EU and from the EU to the US. The actual numbers proved you are completely wrong.

But yeah, I have a cognitive dissonance....

I am convinced that, when it comes to this election, the most valuable position held by any candidate is that none of the other candidates should be president, Bernie included.

gosh a ruddies what an idiot you are. Read the discussion. Quaker Oats wrote that millions were fleeing from communist and socialist countries to America. And I wrote that also millions of people wanted to go the listed countries in western Europe. But finally you do admit the truth as a blinding revelation at the end of your rave.
