In the case of "giving back" the premise is that those with wealth did

that wealth. To suggest that someone should "give back" is to imply that
whatever they have was given to them. You can't "give back" something
that wasn't "given" to you in the first place. Charity is to be
commended; but when you give away some of what you've actually spent a
part of your life acquiring you're "giving," not "giving back."
In the case of George Bush he never worked a day in his life. Daddy
handed him all the money he needed.


please post the relevant documents to prove your point!



As for "the less fortunate," the use of this phrase implies that those
without means are victims of bad luck rather than their own laziness,
bad work ethic and a dearth of good decisions. To imply that the poor,
poor pitiful poor are where they are simply because they weren't
"fortunate" is to suggest that those who find themselves in good
financial shape were merely lucky. What a convenient way to denigrate
the idea of individual achievement. The left can tell you through this
"less fortunate" nonsense that you were merely lucky, and those sad poor
people were simply unlucky. The left is only evening the odds when they
take your stuff and give it to them.
Not everyone is in the position of George Bush who was born with a
silver spoon in his mouth.


But of course we can subtract the Kennedy's from the equation!
