You said: "This rich vs poor thing has been turned into a political game to keep the poor voting Democrat. That is why when a minority makes something of him/herself they become Republicans. And the Democrats hate them for it. Ask Colin Powell, Clarence Thomas and Miquel Estrada."
I say: Yes, they are Conservatives, Colin Powell moderately so, as Conservatives like to point out time and time again. What's HILARIOUS about the whole thing is that Republicans tend to hold these three people up over and over again, and fail to recognize that Black and Hispanic DEMOCRATS are also wealthy and successful people. For every 1 Republican of color you say, I could probably say 3-4 Democrats of color. Geez, that's an old argument.
Trust me, I'm sure you have plenty for YOUR retirement. If you're bitching about it this much, it's more likely that YOU want MORE. Greed isn't good for the soul, man. And besides, Social Security is not the only retirement plan out
