    If you don't pay your taxes armed men will lock you in prison, if you resist they have license to beat you and kill you if you fight back. That is violence. Otherwise how do you define strong armed robbery?

    The rest is just incoherent rambling. I am not like you, I am not trying to take what they have. I am trying to earn my own and do. I am not a rich man, I have made my own life choices not to pursue more lucrative fields to live the life I want to live. I am fine with my decisions. If you envy the rich, go out there and hustle and make cash. Don't be a snob and vote it away from them b/c you don't want to get your hands dirty with risk or hard work. I was born into a "lower class" as you would call it, I don't tell my peers to act like victims and find all the people who have wronged me, and have wronged people I identify with in the past. Are you sure you are not the class traitor? Your victimization argument makes them weaker, not stronger.

    Who should sacrifice so you can live the life you want?

    No consolation.
    They steal from everybody through the threat of poverty. "We'll take all our stolen marbles and go somewhere else" attitude. I got the door.


    Republicans/conservatives blow. I hate them.

    I thought it was the democrats that preach if they don't have more government everyone will die starving in the streets. if anyone threatens poverty if they don't get their money it is the democrats.

    Poppycock.

    Republicans (conservatives) continually threaten the public with their 'mushroom clouds of disappearing job creators' rhetoric, that if the super wealthy are forced to pay one cent more, then society will have to endure the following suffering.

    Compassionate conservatism (to republicans/conservatives) means anyone who doesn't have the compassion to endure fat cats getting fatter and fatter on the backs of the middle class and poor is a liberal socialist.


    I hate conservatives.

    Have you seen what is going on in the offshore financial sector? Profits not being invested etc...move of people to no income tax states for half the year. All the same just a different degree the Rand,s novel.

    You can only soak the rich to the extent they are willing to pemit in the days of the good ole WWW I do not need to live in the US to run a US company. I can as easily do it from a man made Island off the coast of Dubai.

    All criminals hate it when people identify themselves as victims.

    People should have absolutely no respect for college graduates, who got their jobs simply because they were willing to go four years without a job. Replace them with people who have enough self-respect to demand being paid for their time during their time and you won't have the thieves we have now. Diploma Dumboes cheat and steal not so much because they are dishonest, but because they are incompetent and that's the only way an incompetent person can get ahead. You're just jealous because I lived like a man after I was 18 and you lived like a little boy, working without pay in college because you were afraid to grow up. You'll never admit it, but that childish, depressing, and humiliating experience has crippled you for life. The reward for college graduates under today's indentured servitude system is nothing but a Golden Wheelchair.

    Even if somehow their claim that the rich creates job was true, they "create" the jobs with money they extorted from other workers. And the loot they get from underpaying us will be used to "create" jobs for other suckers.

    Sure, you can open a business and hire whomever you want. You dont need college grads. Other businesses will do what they want though, and you will just have to compete. But don't blame them, get in the game and start creating some jobs and quit complaining that you don't get an allowance for your report card anymore.

    In either event, what college did you go to? Sounds pretty depressing. Me, I met my wife there and a lot of my friends, had a great time. Yeah I may have been broke, but I had a lot more leisure time then now that I work. Some of my best years I think....

    On purpose. The Heirheads pretending to be Liberals purposely make it inefficient so you'll put yourself at the mercy of their private-sector classmates. Also because they are no-talent spoiled snobs and think it is beneath them to get down on the ground floor and change it.

    Another thing they won't let us realize is that at a certain point, piling up money creates an immunity against having to earn it. It's like a rule change where the NBA champions got the #1 Draft Pick. Soon one or two teams would win practically all their games, no matter how good the other teams were managed. But we don't have to know much about basketball to know what that would be like.
