Maybe the gov't should confiscate their 'proceeds of crime' and give
it back to those they stole from... the aerage citizen.


"Aerage" citizen mr. spelling ferret?


Excellent point. But the average citizen is increasingly a debt-tax
slave to government. There isn't that many rich to tax that much. The
total wealth of all of the USA billionaires couldn't fund 0bama's debt
for one year.

Fact is 0bama is enslaving America with debt for fraud and corruption at
government and top level banks like Bernanke. Bleeding America dry from
the inside.

Wiki gives credit of the story to one Jean La Bel, but I thought this
line was interesting:

"The peasants involved in the rebellion seem to have lacked any real
organization, instead rising up locally as an unstructured mass. It is
speculated by Jean le Bel that evil governors and tax collectors
spread the word of rebellion from village to village to inspire the
peasants to rebel against the nobility. When asked as to the cause of
their discontent they apparently replied that they were just doing
what they had witnessed others doing. Additionally it seems that the
rebellion contained some idea that it was possible to rid the world of
nobles. Froissart's account portrays the rebels as mindless thugs bent
on destruction, which they wreaked on over 150 noble houses and
castles, murdering the families in horrendous ways."

No different than today, lots of sheeples. Envy, greed and low morals,
bad things happen.

In the 14th Century, the serfs had every reason to murder nobles. They
still do.


Didn't change a thing did it.

Fact is fleabagger liberals can discard integrity, loose morals, driven
by no diciline but for envy and greed....

.....but reality always wins.

Lets hope a similar fate doesn't come to your doorstep.


Not likely.

Could happen. Po folk like me are envious of your toys and wealth. No
tellin what folks will do when they are hungry, cold, and homeless.
Might be a good time to stop braggin about your "stuff" if you catch my
drift.

They already pay a higher tax rate. You should have worked harder and
saved more and you would understand.

Smart rich are leaving the USA, let the fleabaggers have nothing. Nice
thing about todays money they didn't have in 1358 is it can be moved in
seconds.

Fact is these fleabaggers are lead by theory own envy and greed. In the
end thy will loose.


He'd leave except for one thing. His little darlin has a pretty decent
job at union headquarters. He won't admit it but that's what lured him
away from Florida. Can you imagine?

Harry is well armed and prepared to shoot any serf who comes to get
his stuff because he has more than they do, ;-)

I know it sounds attractive to go loot the rich but the reality is,
they are not that rich.

If you took every dime from the top 10 richest people in the US, it
would run Medicare for about 145 days, then what?

There would be no more Microsoft, Oracle, Walmart, Georgia Pacific,
the Sands chain of casinos and whatever Soros and Buffett do.

You would have thrown a quarter of a million people out of work for
what? Five months of medical care for geezers?

Just like in society in general, the wealth starts dropping off pretty
fast on the top 400 too. By the time you get down to #31-32 you are in
singlebillion dollar digits. Bear in mind, most of this money is
unrealized capital gains that would disappear as soon as you tried to
cash the check anyway.
If you suddenly tried to sell 600 million shares of Microsoft, what do
you think you would get for it?
It certainly wouldn't be the $17 billion Forbes says it is worth to
Bill Gates.


The flaw in the above is that I know of no one who thinks we should take
all of the money from all of the corps. It would be a good thing if they
started paying there fair share though.


They already pay plenty, and provide jobs that pay more. Fact is envy
and greed driven fleabaggers are milking dead cows here.
