Remmus Posted January 11, 2017 Report Posted January 11, 2017 Anyone see a fairly recent documentary called "Class Divide"? Very, very interesting. Shows how rich and poor liberals in the same neighborhood deal with the fruits of Capitalism (or lack of fruit). A conservative hero emerges in the documentary, a young man named Danny that lives in the projects. This housing project is surrounded by million dollar homes (New York City). His words: "My mentor always told me it's okay and it's not your fault if you're born poor, but it is your fault if you die poor. Me coming from here, I didn't know that. I didn't understand that. I was a democrat, then when I was presented the opportunity to become an entrepreneur ...everything is self-performance ...you know, that's what America is. If you want something bad enough you'll get it ...you know, I love that. I love that now, but I changed my whole mentality and now I'm a republican. I know, it's crazy. [friends sitting with him are shocked, laugh] If I can give you a dollar or I can give an opportunity which one are you going to take? And most people as a democrat they'd rather take the dollar than the opportunity." He had a brief rant after that. He wants to be a self-made millionaire by 27. Quote
