What I like about TFP is it's supposed to be place where we can disscuss, analyze, explore various topics in a mature and even meaningful way, without resorting to underhanded insults at other membes. I certainly don't need your condescending attitude on a message board.

jorgelito,
I wasn't replying to your post.
I was replying to comments like these:

I would love to see where the US has "basically no middle class". I agree the rich are getting richer, but so are the poor.

And that's why I posted the remark about people, like Seaver does regularly, upholding the notion that everyone is responsible for his or her own success (and hinges that to education), yet doesn't seem willing or capable of doing some rudimentary research before discounting the carefully researched positions of long-time members here. Jorgelito, if you search on this topic and/or these handles (mine, seaver's, pan's, secretmethod's, roachboy's) you will see this same topic discussed
ad naseum. The interesting thing is, the same points are recycled by all the participants. Yet, for some reason, the people who come to the table without any evidence continue to refute the one's who do come to the table with evidence time after time after time...they just wait a few months and then regurgitate their tired arguments...as if new members won't know or long-time members will have forgotten that they've already posted a host of documentation for the opinion-oriented members to peruse over. Usually that evidence is just ignored....we'll see in a few months.
