Wow, he is mad about giving the poor even a small coin. Not exactly the widow’s mite is it?

doncha know, Wabbit? The poor deserve nothing since they are by definitiion undeserving of anything. They just layabout working minimum wage jobs and never trying to be millionaires like a real American should, then they have the audacity to think they deserve health care, food and shelter. If a person is too lazy to be born into money, the rich have a right to be angry at them. ;-))

what a bunch of bull first there are a lot of people out there that have money invested in stock that are not rich. I am one of them. How do you liberals figure it is ok to tax the companies profits and then what left they pay out and dividends and you want to tax them again. and do you think that if they get a tax increase they will not pass that down to us or move thier plants to china. and do you think that the politicians will use the money to pay bill or spend it ??
zonmoy about 12 years ago
yes, just like all the rich they are little more than king of nothing.

Pretty rudimentary story there, buddy. Not much there except your obvious contempt for someone else and their money. Makes me want to find better things to do with my time.

I love the idea that if we’re not cautious in our treatment of the compulsively wealthy they might ship jobs overseas. No one cares as long as junior gets a shiny toy on Christmas morning, “Made in China” sticker be damned!
