What this all comes down to is two groups of people. Those that believe they should be free to earn as much as they can through whatever means they can utilize, regardless of the consequences to society, and those that believe hoarding wealth harms society. They use an interesting tactic when it comes to wordplay, too. I'm certain these people would argue in favor of "free market capitalism" when its anything but, at best crony-capitalism, at worst full on corruption. Those opposed are socialists. Any regulation is socialism... except when it's to regulate against the competition. That's not free market.

It all comes down to just 2 groups eh?
No third group that thinks hoarding wealth harms the poor and not so much society as a whole?
No fourth group that believes we should all all share everything equally?
so on and so on.

Only two groups? That's your first problem.

"I should be able to make as much as I can"

or

"the more I have the less they have"

Mutually exclusive camps. Should I start a poll?

 this is my interpretation of the requirements based upon the above: red - natural born citizen blue - or a citizen of the united states orange - you must be at least 35 green - must have lived here at least 14 years isn't this really saying to be president you can either be: 1. born here -OR- a citizen 2. age 35 3. lived here for 14 years if not born here it does not say anything about proof.

Wow, are you really that poor at reading? What part of "or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution," do you not understand? You conveniently ignore the part you disagree with. Libtard thinking.

$22/hour minimum wage
Click to expand...
Why not $26, Pad? Will $22 bring you off the couch? Why won't $15? My nieces both Aced college by not crying about the work load or that they didn't have much money. But, they did it completely differently from each other. The beautiful and cool is a school teacher. And we had a blow by blow description of all her trials. But, my favorite, the 2 year young, beautiful and Hot, told everyone to leave her along and moved to SF and became a lot like me....wild. I love her. But, unlike me, after 4.3 years, she came out of school with a 3.5 GPA, and now makes $18.50, as a Marketing assistant at a big Mortgage Company. (I told her long ago, as I was teaching her self defense, to follow the money)

She will get $22, in few years, because she earned it and because she is a Hotty and smart enough to know how all that works. She uses men like door mats and being her favorite uncle, I can offer advice, on the best places to step. All else is ignored, iac,

Not quite right.
It's
1. A natural citizen ( doesn't mean you HAVE To be born in the US, you could be born on a military base in another country too)
2. a citizen of the US at the time the Connie was ratified. Not just any old citizen. You can throw this rule out, since no one is alive from that time.
3. 35 years of age
4. lived here at least the previous 14 years. If you weren't born here and weren't born on a base, then you are disqualified via rule 1.

Basically you MUST be a natural born citizen as no one is alive from 1776.

see? now my interpretation is different..i see what you are saying BUT i can also see it being another way: we didn't have "military bases" back then..think about it.

EDIT: i looked at that amendment for a very long time, breaking it down using their punctuation and this is how i came to my interpretation.

Maybe for the Irish. And maybe for the Irish they are not honest with themselves. She is not a blood niece, not that it would matter to me.

Still dude, there's laws against that.

Niece is way too close on the family tree, even for our rural folk, and that's saying something.

Laws? There is no law here if I were to marry the gal. She is not a blood niece.

I really, really doubt there is an Irish law against referring to a woman as a Hotty...your twin sister is Hot, right?
