Whens the last time a rich person did anything for you? Yeah me
neither.
So what you're saying is that you want some of the wealth without
working for
it?
Like you do?
Me? I worked for mine! I suggest that you get your shine box out and
join M II out
on the corner and get busy, boys.


Bull****. You were just bragging about your profits from some kind of
oil deal while sitting on your well rounded bum.

He risked his capital to make that profit. It could have gone the other
way and he could have lost all of it.

My point exactly is that risk is being transferred from capital to labor,
without commensurate reward. Things are out of kilter. New gilded age.

Either they are benefitting from the current arrangement where labor makes
little while the rich get richer, or they are totally clueless about the
current widening of the strata between economic classes. Either way, they
are still responsible for what is happening to this country whether they
like it or not

If ya think about it, it's those of us who saved and invested our money so that
it might be lent out to you mindless twits who spent yourselves into debt.

I'm not in debt (other than my house payment). I went to work, and for many
years I worked two jobs. I saved, I invested.

Would I like to have more, certainly! But, I got what I got, and **** those
who'd like to take it away!
