Since the game around here is to ask for links and proof, I'm asking.

I don't believe that kind of thing is done on the internet. Re: the recent BLS data showing that 40% of wealth has been lost in the last 3 years? To me, what was even more interesting there was that the greatest percent loss was in the top 10% of incomes. But to answer your question - yes I...

We get the government we deserve.

Once we rich folk have all the poor's money, we won't need to make widgets anymore. Only the poor need widgets anyway.

You're right - it takes brains, and motivation and much more in addition to just working hard. I suppose the brains are distributed pretty unfairly. Maybe we should be talking at redistribution of intelligence?

Yeah right, that's been said for hundreds of years, too. We'll storm the winter palace and take the Czar's jewels and gold and sell them to buy bread for the people. Right on!

Johnny Carson once said, "I wouldn't mind being poor, if it weren't for the money."

Why are the poor, poor?

I'd like to back up to "fair." What does that mean and why should it be fair? Why isn't a Darwinian outcome fair? It's at least based in nature and not century-old Marxist drivel.

LOL, so in another 10 years the rich will have ALL the money? You know, the better question here is why, after more than a half century on government spending on anti-poverty programs, to the point where we now have half the population on government support, WHY is the poverty rate (according...

Don't you know they were saying the exact same thing 80 years ago? It was nonsense then and it's nonsense now.

>I heard someone point out it's not the wealth the super rich have accumulated that's the issue, being rich is awesome, everyone wants to be rich, it's the opportunity for economic equality that's the issue everyone has. I think he called it 'economic mobility'. The opportunities just aren't...

It's like a sinking boat - it doesn't help that the hole is in the other end.

Obviously we need to find out exactly what happened THEN decide if anyone is responsible and if so, who. To do that we need a special prosecutor and an investigation. If it is just a little "oops" that will be revealed. Let the facts come out. The seriousness of the charges demands an investigation.

I'm glad someone is achieving catharsis on this board.

Does it help? :roll:

Let's actually parse your post: 1. You call me jackass. Now, what do you think you accomplish by that? I don't think you have ever seen anyone, anywhere accomplish anything by calling anyone jackass. At least not since third grade. And yet you do it, giving us all an unintended clue. 2. An OP...

I see this was edited at least once. I wonder what for? Certainly not coherence.

Libruls can dish it out, but they can't take it.
