I think its disturbing that Disney is trying to sell its viewers on the thought that rich spoiled snobs actually have the capacity to change. In real life the father would have taken all the companies money snd left them employees high and drt, and the girls would not have sacrificed anything to help anyone else. This movie is just a load of neocon garbage.

now hat is a very offensive steretype.
Rich people only help other people when they think they can get something out of it.
That is SO disrespectful for you to say! Oh, and I have a little newsflash for you: MONEY DOESN'T GROW ON TREES!! Believe it or not, some people who are rich actually WORKED to get there. Some people have worked hard and deserve those rewards they're getting. Now in the case of the Callum girls, yeah, they were just born into the right family at the right time. but that doesn't mean they couldn't change. Anyone can change, for good or bad. And I think this something you need to remember about rich people: THey're still people. Even if some of them are snobs, even is some of them do spend all their money on themselves and never give to charity. They're still people, just like the poor or the average people.

I recently found a news item that completley contradicts everything you foolishly believe about both capitalism and neo-conservatives. It's an article about the 2005 Income Tax returns of President George Walker Bush, and Vice President Richard Cheney:

Here's another one to go with it:

Now, allow me to introduce you to some more fictional characters who are rich, and aren't spoiled brats. NOTE: The creator of these characters is anything but a conservative:

No one deserves to have an obcenly large amount of money, when there are people in the world who are homeless and starving. People who horde money at the expense of other, are evil.

<No one deserves to be condemned simply because they have a larger amount of money than the rest of us.>
Yes, they do. I never said anyone should be living on the streets. But why should a person be allowed to live in a multi million dollar mansion when other people are homeless. They should live in more sensible houses and their excess money should be taken away to provide housing and jobs for the poor and homeless.
Yes, they do.

<Not if they aren't doing anything wrong. Did you read those links about the tax returns of the President and Vice President, and how they both donated large amounts of money to charity, including those related to survivors of Hurricane Katrina? It really disproves what Kanye West said about how Bush feels about black people, but then the fact that he has a more racially and ethnically diverse cabinet than Clinton should be enough to do that.>
Being rich is wrong! I'm suppose to believe something said by this president? You're kidding right? Who cares if Bush's cabnet is ethnicly diverse. They're just a load of Uncle Tom race traitors.

If Lincoln were alive today he would be a democrat.
The media is no where near critical enough of the President. Its all a smoke and mirrors show. If the media was seriously against Bush, as all Americans should be, they would report the truth about 9/11, they'd be calling for impeachment hearings and popular uprisings against the new Hitler.

But why should a person be allowed to live in a multi million dollar mansion when other people are homeless.
Um...........because they worked hard and earned it.
Well, within reason. It's not that it is a bad thing to live in a multi million $ mansion because that mansion provides jobs to people who build it and people who sell it. Of course if you work for that millionaire, they should be paying you well enough. That would be part of it and is one reason why the economy today is doing so bad. Many big corporations are looking to skim worker's pay even though they are all ready rich enough. It is not a problem if they have a lot of money that they worked hard for; however, it is a problem when they steal from other people, despite having it.

So.....if I worked really hard and became very rich(talking millionaire) I would have to give all that up to help people? Personally I would feel a moral obligation to donate some of that well-earned money to charities and people who really need it, but here's another newsflash: I would have the right to keep the money I earned. And in America today alot of the people who are starving or can't afford a home are just too lazy to do their own work. I think it's great to help people when they need it, but some people need to just get their lazy butts up and start taking responsibility for themselves.
Jesus, I am SO in love with YOU!
That is not entirely true. Poor people have a hard time finding jobs as it is. Most do not have homes and you need an address to even be able to get a job. How would you ever get a check mailed to you without a mailbox?

They worked hard to get there, but not maintain it. They take advantage of middle class people to prolong their profits. Do not be fooled. The rich want to see you vouch for their unethical ways.

I take it you never heard about that factory owner in Massachusetts who's plant burned down and compensated all his employees more than a decade ago. Or the fact that a rich captialist like Bill Gates frequently makes huge charitable donations, as have many other high-profile capitalists of the past 175+ years. No, you just go along with the old marxist myth that all captialists are robber-barons who might as well all wear top-hats and pointy moustaches.

The Republicans and Democrats both want the rich to get rich and the poor to stay oppressed slaves. They're both the same brand of Capitalist pig dogs!
shareCommunists want EVERYBODY to stay oppressed slaves, except for high-ranking politburo members!! Whatever flaws capitalism may have, it still beats the *beep* out of the communist tyranny you advocate!!

shareguess I shut you up with that one!
shareYou didn't "shut me up," douche-bag! I just didn't see your stupid posts until today! Regardless of how much the CEO of Exxon, or any other company gets, people still get paid under captialism. And if you think rich people don't pay taxes, you're living in a fantasy world!
of course the rich don't pay taxes. they pay accountants to set up as many tax shelters as they can and the rest they just cheat on.
shareErm not to disrupt a very educational debate but this is a post on a film that was made for kids. I'm sure the producers really didn't think all that deep when they made it, it was just another extremely simple plot that they thought they could use to make yet more money. Things shouldn't be taken so seriously.
shareDisney and the rest of the corporate media elie now exactly he power they wield. They design these shows as puff pieces glorifing greed and capitalism to unsuspecting minds to young to understand the real truth about the evils they are being presented.

They donate to charities because it is a tax break for them. Most of those charities, a portion of the money goes into pockets of the employees than to the people the charity is suppose to help. Do not be fooled!

I agree with you, dionheather. It may be difficult to become extremely rich, but unless you have some type of mental or other serious medical problem, you should be able to at least make enough money for food, a home, etc. Some people just can't save up money or spend it on the wrong things...........or don't work.
