many wealthy do too!,


tell you what. you go find the record of how many middle class people
work their way into the top 2% of americans and get back to us on
that...

find out how many children of blue collar workers go to the ivy
league...the gateway to networking...actually i know the answer to
that. it's less than 3%

so, actually, many wealthy don't work. they take my money so they
don't have to work for theirs. they kill my pension plan, destroy my
401K, and get me to pay for their bailouts

THEN they get people like you to tell me how fortunate i am they let
me do this.

No, he said that you'd be fortunate to buy their castoffs for cheap,
when they're done using them.

He didn't mention the part about most of us working our entire lives
to facilitate their purchase of high priced goods.

Well actually, "they" don't get me to do much of anything for "them"
and I'm not "they're spokesman, but your statement is correct when you
say "so, actually, many wealthy don't work. " and you're correct. I
wouldn't' work if I were rich either.

Now you keep saying things like "pay for bailouts"

hmmm, I think you are bagging those of wealth and labeling them all
as financial institutions employees, aren't you?

It seems that way or at least it does to me.

Well, I'm part owner of a couple, and I don't consider myself
'wealthy' (in the material sense, that is).

John I suppose you could be right. We need to define wealthy, and rich.

Then quit ****ing and moaning about the owners being wealthy (in the
material sense, of course).

Oh, and quit calling names and hurling personal insults. They don't
help your arguments. Krause has been doing it for years. Hasn't helped
him at all.

ROFLMAO!! why? do you think that having had the big boys raid my 401k
to maintain their lifestyles makes me rich? you right wingers have
quite an imagination.

Oh, and quit calling names and hurling personal insults. They don't

?? now let's see...the right invents lies such as obama putting people
in concentration camps, forming death panels, etc.

THEN when they get called on it, they moan they're being treated
unfairly...
