Hi Jerome,

When I sold my dealerships,I had to pay those 39.6 plus 3.4 percent taxes. It was the culmination of my life's automotive career and its associated assets.

Once you see all that money go to the government and someone who's never paid it calls it welfare - well lets just say you would've had to have been there.

Personally when I hear someone make such an ignorant comment it just proves to me they've never been financially successful. You have fallen prey to the Democratic brainwashing that centers more on class warfare/envy. Its the precursor to wealth confiscation - which was the Hallmark of Barrack Obama's presidency.

A historical look as to how successful Obama's presidency was - shows it was a BAD flop.

It gets back to the beauty of how our society was intended to be in America by our fore fathers. The American dream must be preserved and does not include wealth redistribution or other forms of socialism.

My American dream happened. I did it on myself including working my way through college. My wife and I chose to not have children as I was working 70-75 hours weeks chasing my dream of building a successful and high quality dealership.

For that I made very good money for 25 years and did not change my lifestyle and invested my income wisely (not to mention paying back millions in debt, required in building four new dealership facilities).

For that I paid big money to the government in income taxes ,have a higher cost social security part B, and have to worry about my contributions to social security being stolen from me through "means testing". Can you imagine that the money I gave the government to the "Social Security" trust fund might not be given back to me because I have too many assets!

AND YOU CALL THAT WELFARE - you know very little about the world other than what you gullibly choose to believe to be true.

If you ever walk where I've walked - you'll see it my way too!

Sorry Jerome your ignorance has touched a nerve when you start spewing mistruths!

Bob
