You are a fool. I never once pushed or praised socialism. I said unregulated capitalism doesn’t work. Pure socialism hasn’t worked. Combinations of the two have. See US economy

Capitalism doesn't need Socialism to "work". Socialism can't exist on its own without help from Capitalism, and where it has been tried on its own it's been a miserable unadulterated failure.

So if I'm a fool, what's that make you?

So you are saying that private schools don’t rip people off, which was the point I was making?
All schools are ripping people off today. What is accomplished with the education you do receive is on the individual. So no I'm not wiping your butt for you. :wink:

You make me laugh. The fact is Trump has made billions of dollars building, buying or selling real estate, providing jobs, and growing his company into a successful money making enterprise that employs thousands while he's helped develop the skills of thousands more making their own money.

The fact also is you probably haven't even made your first million yet and you're either jealous of Trump or not as smart as he is to make more for yourself.

In my best 3 year period I made nearly 600,000K. I’ve been working for 35 years. Do the math.

What the fuuuck does that have to do with anything? I think our education system stinks. I have said that 50 times. But I’d rather fix it than hand out money for private schools.

Private schools produce results and are held accountable for them. We "hand out" money to Government schools which are unaccountable for their failed performance and instead of closing them down we give them more money to waste. [eyeroll]

Underlined and bolded the most important statement that obviously went over your head.

600K for 35 years? Or just 3 years? Your best still isn't better than Trump's. You're jealous! Keep yappin' at him.

I completely understand personal responsibility and actually applied your philosophy at WVU when I nearly flunked out my freshman year. And I still apply it today. But I am not sure that has any relevance in K-8 education. a 2nd grader doesn't understand that.

Let me know when your net worth is 3.1 billion. Then your constant whining about Trump will hold more credibility.

Great response. Never heard trump thank his daddy for seed money and a portion of his estate. Sure does help when daddy can personally guarantee 70 million dollar loans when you start out too. So your childish remark is absurd.

Actually you clowns claim he blew that. Hell he admits he took significant losses. Yet built it back up. He is worth 3.1 billion dollars not counting what he has given his kids. You should have taken the seminar.

All your side has is "fear". of ideas, science, the future, anyone different, etc. Oh yeah, and trickle down economics works. Coal back yet? lmfao.

Why do u insist on lumping me in with others that criticize trump? The only thing I have criticized him for from a financial standpoint are the numerous documented situations where he stiffed sub-contractors. From a brand building standpoint, he is a slick cat.

Having a rich father that helps you get started would benefit most of us right?

probably the one emotion that has almost zero impact on my life. But nice try. Well I guess I am a little envious of dudes with bigger boats!

You've been earning over a six figure salary for 35 years and you're JUST NOW deciding to meet with a CFP? o_O

No wonder you envy Trump!

I am an accountant. I would have minored in finance at WVU if they had recognized it. I have a financial spreadsheet that would make you envious. I have professionals at work to consult with about retirement planning. I just want to see what I need to do to retire at 62 vs 65. My biggest issue is planning for unknown health costs

Great...vote Democrat they'll take it all away from you and "redistribute" it to some Brown person in need. You won't complain will you?

I know what that fraudulent school was. My point was that people peddling education for profit can and will abuse the system and rip people off. I used that as an example. There are lots more to pull from.
It wasn’t a school. It was never billed as a “school”. You all try to use this as it was some shady attempt at defrauding people with sketchy promises of education, like a non-accredited degree factory. It was nothing of the sort.

Are you kidding me?
