ok, i see the sentiment here, but i personally wouldn't lose sight of the fact that the spa treatments were earned by the person recieving them, where as the 40k for gas / food was earned by soemone other than the recipient.....i am not saying you are...but just before this spirals in that direction.>>
-see, i dont have a problem taking their money. and in actuality, i dont think it will even really hurt them (the top 1 percent) because when you are a MULTI millionaire, a few hundredgrand doesnt seem so significant. AND the more money with middle class has, the more they spend, which helps the economy as a whole.>>
Then again if they are giving it to a resort for a spa treatment they are helping keep many people employed which is good for the economy.
Basically, if you see no problem picking the pocket of the guy in head of you in the economic line, don't be surprised when the guy behind you in line has no problem picking your pocket.
Just thought that was worth repeating.

Having a blue collar job does not automatically equate with being a hard worker, having a good work ethic, etc.

Dh has recently been saying that he thinks colleges should teach kids how to dress, and eat, general manners before they start interviewing. He came from a background where he didn't learn those things from his parents. His friends and his girlfriend had to teach him those things.
My DH worked as a career counselor for a couple of years at a local university and he would certainly agree with that idea.

We'll just have to agree to disagree about this. I know quite a few people who Obama considers "wealthy". 2 of them were the bottom two people in their high school graduating class and are now quite successful although they are in very different careers. They both did it on their own, no help from parents. Actually every person I know who is successful had parents of very little means and they all paid their own way through school. So if you mean starting with very little is the key then you might be right. ;-)

My son just graduated in May and after working extremely hard to find a job he does have a job in his field. One beef I have with the school he attended is that they don't counsel the kids on what they can do with the major they've chosen. He has a friend who is extremely smart who has been unable to find a job in his field (although I don't know how hard he's tried because he never worked very hard in school). If someone had suggested a slightly different major this friend would have had his pick of jobs because he somehow had excellent grades.
I have another son who chose a different college and in his first semester freshman year they are already discussing internships and are being introduced to the different specialties within his chosen major. If he sticks with this major he will have a job before graduation.
And I have a problem with the mentality that doesn't see a problem in taking their money, just because they have more to begin with.
