and Taylor Swift could interrupt his Inauguration speech.
 

Carson obviously is an extremist. I have some professional concerns around his stability. I question whether he possesses the ability to behave in a calm and measured fashion in times of crisis. I do not see any signs of a tolerant loving attitude. There certainly is nothing Christ like in comparing gays to paedophiles. Disgusting, and inaccurate. That disease has nothing to do with sexual orientation. The vast majority of chicken hawks (paedophiles,) are heterosexual. His remarks around the veteran situation were appalling. The likening of President Obama's plan for America to Nazi Germany hysteria. Not nice at all. Also, being liberal does not automatically speak to promoting an anti religious stance. There are even many to the left of liberal, ie the dreaded socialists, lol, who have no problem whatsoever with religion providing it does not attempt to infringe on the rights of others. The extreme religious right is attempting through intimidation, fear mongering etc. to enforce a theocracy on the people of America. Scary stuff. There are concrete reasons for the separation of church and state.

Well, the voters did elect an unknown 6 years ago and far too many are sorry for that mistake. Trump for sure is one who knows how to increase wealth, something our current government does not know how to do. Increasing debt each month, now at about 18.5 trillion and rising.

Trump DID create wealth... however just about anyone who was left hundreds of millions of dollars from by their father... as trump was could do the same.... Trump is a prime example of someone who was born on third base and has convinced everyone he hit a triple... including YOU.. lol!

I knew that Trumps father was there to help him out with some starting money, and he did manage to expand it as time went by. And if his father left him a big pile of money when father died, he is still managing to expand that also. Something our far far left government just can not seem to even try to do. So the going of Obama is the first light of the day for our countries efforts to end this monstrous debt we have and are daily growing.
 
It's a whole heckava lot easier to expand on millions already had than to create millions out of nothing. Not to mention all the doors that were opened for him including being sent to the one of the best colleges.. Those are things that the average person simply doesn't have available to them.

Well said, Shalimar.
 
As far as Carson goes... Ya know... I'm a really nice person too... I have no experience in neurosurgery, but I think I could do a really good job at separating your conjoined twins... you should trust me... I will learn as I go through the operation... maybe call in a consultant or two.. WHAT!? NO WAY?

Sure not always as true as you claim. There is another example of one of the richest men in the US, if not the world. Take a look at the person who brought along an idea to run computers. He never graduated from any college. He had started some small companies when rather young. He brought up MicroSoft after IBM introduced the personal computer idea and hired this person to help with the software IBM needed then. Bill Gates did so well he took the business away from IBM and over the years created fast wealth for himself and his wife. Yes he did have help to start off. He was born with no money so he borrowed from father or banks to start those early ventures and he was shrewd enough to see how to beat IBM at their own game.

Gates has 79.2 billion, Trump about 4 billion, Buffet 66.7 billion. So Trump is just a small billionaire. Have some sympathy for him.

Of course there are rags to riches stories... but very, very few of them compared to the millions of folks wanting to be wealthy.

I would have done a lot better if I had started off a bit different. I loved to hang out and drink with the mixed crowds, no savings from that. I smoked a lot, no savings from that. I was in a recession period, no savings in that. After military service, I returned to my old habits, no savings in that. I tried to give my car back to the bank so they would close my account. They would not do that. No saving in that. Finally left where I grew up and moved to California with my last $200 dollars. As I arrived the aircraft industry was pretty much shut down because of government contracts shut downs. I moved from San Diego to LA. Still no jobs. I moved on north to San Jose. Each stop I stayed at friends home for about a week. In San Jose the people I stayed with said they worked contract jobs. Something I never heard of before. So I went to his contract company and they found me a job. Started earning again after much of the year unemployed. They kept me working for over two years at this big company. I was by then saving plenty. The company wanted their checks cashed so I started a bank account. Things were looking pretty good by then. The big company offered me a full time job and I took it. I took it even with the cut down in wages as they had benefits to offset the lower wages. I retired from there with a wife and son and daughter. Savings looked good then. Had I lived more sensible my first 10 working years I might even be able to say I was worth a whole lot more. My wife finished off my drinking and smoking. Good person that lady. Actually it was the company that did that for me but the wife backed them up fully.

Just pointing those that do not do well are ones like me. Mixed up and no internal directive to change from a poor person to wealthy. Now, with the high cost of housing and food, I don't think I would have done so well today. I paid $14,600 for my 4 br, 2 ba, 2 car gar, 1,400 sq ft house in San Jose California. Last time I looked it up it was listed at near $400,000. Ridiculous prices for that neighbor hood.

It sounds to me like you did just fine. A house, a car, a couple of kids. Life could be a lot worse.

I am not sorry for my life at all. Done pretty well and lots that do grandly were not rich to begin with. But being rich to begin with is sometimes an invite to stupid living and they end up poor as can be.
