you ever actually work a job to support yourself independently from your folks?

You can't judge a whole class of people you're jealous of based on a few of those "greedy selfish bastards." I know a few millionaires, even a billionaire, who donates a ****load of money. One is a former CEO from New York who donated a lot of money. Musicians, movie stars, and athletes do charity work all the time. Snoop Dogg started a football league for inner city kids, and they're not allowed to play in the league unless they maintain a certain average. What he's doing is good because he's teaching them how to earn something. He's doing the "conservative" thing, if he did the liberal thing everybody would get to play. What would be the incentive for these kids to work hard then? If they don't have to get good grades to play, why would they? Same thing goes for government. If they don't have to work hard for their money, why would they?
Btw, I don't support politicians making more money especially in times like this. Why? Because they're costing me money.
Aaaaaannnnd.... I'm living on my own in upstate NY right now until July. So yeah, I do support myself... with just a high school diploma working high school grad type jobs in construction... until I leave for boot camp for the Marine Corps in a little less than a year... and will get my degree after I get out of the Marines.
