    Just curious - are you ok with this? The government will still collect the money from you, you just won't get your social security.

    The corporations are hoarding two trillion dollars, freezing it out of the economy, waiting for the time when they can get the most outrageous profit margin out of investing it. The banks are doing the same thing. The Capitaliban are so dishonest and have such mind control over us that they expect us to believe their line that if they can't get the maximum profits out of their treasure chest, it's the same as getting no profits at all. This is the same egomaniacal way of thinking that makes them think their preachings justify outsourcing to cheap-labor sweatshops.

    Another spin of theirs is that their only obligation is to their stockholders, so they can't help commiting economic treason if their stockholders will fire them by not getting the biggest profits in the world. How about if we fire them instead and tell their precious stockholders that they don't rule us, like the King of England thought he could rule us?

    A free people doesn't have to put up with laws only benefiting the economic elite. We should put the 1% in their place. After all, we outnumber them 99 to 1 and can crush them like grapes. It's time to quit whining and start making wine.

    The rich never struggled except perhaps to pay their accountants. Never believe crap propaganda.

    You know taxing just the rich wouldn't be able to fix the deficit. The only way to fix this problem is too spend less.

    That seems to discount the concept of a positive multiplier effect by providing for the general welfare.
