That's deep, man.

I'm not that deep. I just recognize the need for diplomacy and regulation.

What is stopping them from doing so? I agree and think they should do it to show humanity.

I'd rather be poor here, where socialism is regulated.

I've seen some stupid things posted on this board(by both and all sides) but this takes the cake.

Oh well if all you want is diplomacy and regulation then I guess I just won't worry about the specifics at all.

I think you know what I meant (right moving to the future), but I guess moving left in terms of progress would make more sense.

Are you assuming that everything moves from left to right? That is racist.

Whig confirmed.

It's a very comforting way to view mankind, but it is sorely mistaken in my opinion.

That 10% of course includes the 1% of millionaires and billionaires who make up the large majority of our economy.
This makes no sense. I know “millionaires” that live pay-check-to-paycheck. Lots of docs live like that. Presuming they have a large savings cushion is presumptuous. And incorrect. Second.. no... The 1% don’t make up a majority of the economy. Not even close.

The rest of your word salad isn’t much better.

How is having your mom and dad raise you a misfortune ?

It's obvious you weren't raised properly. A man would never teach his child to be jealous of the wealthy and to beg for handouts.

Your disgust should be aimed at the person who ignored you, and the person who didn't teach you how to be a responsible adult.

Not correct; they don't mind handing over YOUR money...they keep their billions offshore

A bit more to it than that, but yeah, that's the way your party wants you to see it.

It utterly fascinates me how so many on the left do not understand that the #1 reason ultra wealthy love them some Dems is because Dems campaign on targeting the "ultra wealthy" and then promptly decide to use the "income tax" as the vehicle to do it.

You guys do realize that I can theoretically be worth $10B and not owe a fricking dime in INCOME tax, right?

They've literally created a tool to dupe you into thinking you're attacking Bill Gates when in fact, you're pretty much attacking a bunch of Doctors, Lawyers and Business executives..........who, while certainly well off, aren't the people being advertised as getting nailed.

Democrats historically are super rich or poor


I guess you reach a point in life where you can afford to be a Dem again
