John Hanson said:

The bank borrowed me the money because I'm a good credit risk.

And this despite the fact that you can't speak English, that's pretty
impressive.

That would be bad grammar on my part.

The elite few generate most of the wealth in this
country.

For themselves sure. But not for anyone else.

Are you really that stupid? Bill Gates has made more millionaires
than all government programs since 1787 combined.

How is my money the taxpayers money? The wealthiest few pay the most
in taxes. It's the poor that get the free ride.

1) It's taxpayer money because you paid it in taxes

But if I get a tax cut, I don't pay it in taxes.

Quoted message said:

2) The middle class pays a zillions times more in taxes
than do the "wealthiest few"

That is a lie.

3) Nobody who is poor gets a free ride -- that's just
class warfare propaganda brought to you by the GOP:
keep you too busy complaining about poor people so
you won't go after the rich ones, especially those
who live on money earned by someone else

You are always free to start your own business. Most people don't
because they aren't ambitious enough and prefer the security of being
employed by a business.

Corporation shouldn't be taxed anyway. They just pass that tax onto
the consumer with higher prices.

Legally, corporations are "persons." If they make money, then they
owe taxes. If they choose to pass that tax on to the consumer then
they (the coporations) will lose customers. Free market capitalism
at work.

Why would they lose customers when every corporation passes on it's
liabilities to its customers or on rare occasion, to its shareholders?
So where did you get that business degree?
