Split Fulton County?

Ironchef and Steve, I am quite thankful that you are 19 years of age. Hopefully you are pursuing higher education. Higher Education should expose you to the real world, and not just the bubble of Alpharetta. I am from Leawood, KS a suburb far more affluent than Alpharetta (look it up), but I still care about the poor. It takes a long time to break out of your boughgeousis style of thinking. I assume, maybe incorrectly that you come from a privledged background as I see you drive a new A4 at 19 and you live in Alpharetta. While there is nothing wrong with this, there is something innately wrong with your animosity towards the poor. Furthermore, I was a national merit scholar, not that I have to justify myself to you, but in an argument, when you begin to make ad hominem attacks, you lose, be considerate of what you say. :-)

And you couldnt be further from the truth. First I never said I don't care about the poor, I don't care for the fact that the taxing setup for fulton is messed up and not used to its most efficient extent.

Secondly, I don't have a bourgeois way of thinking. Do you even know what bourgeois means? It seems you don't so heres a little refresher, "The marxist term for the middle classes whose interest it is to preserve the status quo." It obviously isn't in my interest to preserve the status quo because I don't agree with it, hence i dont have a bourgeois way of thinking.

And, no I dont come from a priviledged background what so ever. My family and I came here when I was six with virtually no money, and just a couple suitcases of clothes from a country in the former soviet union. Which was then and most likely still is a pretty poor 3rd world country. We didn't know the language or the customs of america, yet we went from that to now living a pretty good life, having a house in a good safe neighboorhood, without anyones help. The second day we were in america, my parents already got jobs, we never even touched welfare. So, don't think I don't know what its like to live shitty. Which is why im critical of the poor when they start complaining, they have the opportunities yet they choose not to see them through. That's no ones fault but their own.

In regards to the A4, just cause I have one doesn't mean anything. My parents didnt give it to me, the car is in my name, and I pay for it. Since, I got my first job at 16 my parents never just give me anything, besides a roof over my head. So, I know the value of hard work.
