re: Still stand behind your racial post? Racial post? I would call it my Korean stereotype post. Or maybe my Ten is selfish post... here it is, in it's entirety, and yes, I still stand by it. In fact I am becoming more convinced everyday! "Forcing me to be charitable" is not the emotion that most true Americans feel. I've been kicking around this country for 55 years, mostly in the upper classes. And most of the fine and gracious folks that I've had the pleasure to associate with, especially traditional Republicans, have felt a significant debt of gratitude to this country for their success, and their lifestyle. And they haven't complained about their taxes. And the real successful folks never complain about the poor folks that work for them, that would be crass, at best. I've been reading your posts on this thread for what, a year or more? The most obvious thing I take away from your opinions is that the only American you care about is yourself. Despite the sacrifices that ten's of thousands of Americans made for Korea, in the end, it's all about what's best for Ten. Most Americans, Rep or Dem, rich or poor, don't think that way. The old STEREOTYPE of the Korean's is that they are so caught up in class, that they abuse or neglect their fellow citizens. That a clild born out of wedlock is thrown into the streets. That a Korean of a slightly higher class will give no respect to a person of a slightly lower class. I have no idea if this is true. But your selfishness fits the STEREOTYPE. If you have kids, maybe they will be real Americans. But frankly, I don't think you qualify. Too early for America to rub off the rough edges of your ethnic prejudice. 1000's of American kids dead defending your home country, and you whine about a few dollars off your $200K income. Makes me sick, after the sacrifice. I don't know what to think any more. I just know I don't want to exchange any notes with you, anymore.

By the way, here is the post I was responding to... a true Pat Robinson Christian speaking here: re: I know I don't have a sob story to post, but there will always be someone poorer than me. I think I ought to decide for myself how my "charitable contributions" should be paid out. Forcing me to be charitable through higher taxes isn't going to make me feel more charitable; in fact, it will make me feel less so. But I'm sure my "feelings" matter less to you than someone who has it worse than I do. Yeah, I feel for you like the greeter at WalMart making minimum wage. Still think your taxes are "charity"? What a guy, what an American! No draft, we have lower classes to do the fighting for me (34K US kids killed in Korea). No taxes on me for government benefits, what's mine in mine. Love the war, just not willing to pay for it or risk going yourself. Charming... I hope you are not the stereotype. John
