Rick Warren and rich?

Question

Rick Warren said in a recent interview that compare to other countries everyone in America is rich. I wish he can live for a week in the some of the houses I've lived in or attend the schools I've attended. People like him and Bill O'reilly couldn't walk a day in my shoes.This comment proves that America is out of sync with black america. I want to close with this song call All I got is you by Ghostface; it explains a lot of the stuff black people go through.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWocnSxWf...

Answer 1

I know exactly what you mean

your parents can make money and get most of it taken for taxes

you end up in the crappiest overcrowded schools

maybe living in some stuffy unfinished attic "apartment"

feet poking out of your shoes because your mom had to decide between shoes on your feet

food in your stomach

or a roof over your head

and pray all the while that no one got sick because insurance was pretty much non existent

I like that song because it does explain everything to a T

I will always remember what I endured growing up it was not easy

sometimes it was h**l but it makes being successful that much sweeter...

Answer 2

Warren gets bashed from more conservative Evangelicals, and some secular types think he's just another Theocrat.  I think he's a wannabee.

Answer 3

This is why Obama sponsored the Global Poverty Initiative that he got passed through the senate.  It lays the ground work for income taxes on the "rich" to end poverty (true redistribution of wealth).  What fans of this idea do not get is that a person making minimum wage here in American ($8 in California) is rich compared to a farm worker in China making $5 a month.  Hence the definition of "rich" becomes pretty scary when you are a wage earner in America.
