Inode, > We have several liberals responding to your post claiming, "Oh, that guy making $47K has no chance in hell of succeeding, of accomplishing those goals he has set for himself".

Thanks for the story, Inode.

I know about plenty of stories where people making around $47K/year worked their asses off before they could own a small business. My in-laws are one of them. A close friend of mine also has parents who were in that situation. They all reflect the spirit and the stress that comes from owning your own business.

Of course, none of these small business owners got to where they were without help. Friends, family, neighbors, people they met at the local church, etc. The libs on this thread are correct that you will never move up in the world if you just consider a $47K/year income, but that's where their argument ends.

What's really confusing to me is how the liberals fool themselves into believing their own nonsense. I think many of them have had life experiences that aren't too much different than those you and I and people we know have gone through. Yet they will convince themselves that Joe the Plumber could NEVER hope to own a plumbing business before they even dare to think about how Obama might not be the "messiah" they were looking for.
