This "liberal fuck" isnt jealous of greedy bastards. I know where you can put your mouth.

People who try to bring other down to their level rather than lift themselves up could be considered greedy bastards. People who favor coersion and use of force to "level the playing field" could be considered greedy bastards. People who think that successful people should be punished by the government could be considered losers or quitters.

It's cool with me if you don't want to face your demons. I was just pointing out that it isn't just the rich who can be greedy bastards. Greed seems pretty universal.

Pretty Universal was a girl I knew

Jealous? The day I'm jealous of a $24,000 purse is the day I become Cat fucking Stevens.
Now...not to put myself in the "liberal fuck" category :rolleyes:...
If someone handed me a billion dollars, I can admit that I would probably live a more lavish lifestyle than I do now...but I would give the bulk of it away...wtf does anyone need that much money for? A million? That's a different story

I have no idea why, but that actually made me laugh. You should put music to those lyrics.

That's much better than the earlier dribble and more to the point. As for my demons, I have many but money isnt one of them. But nice use of an overly used movie/TV line.

People that consider a person who rapes the poor with high interest loans to make a billion dollars successful should be shot and pissed on (along with the "successful" hedge fund manager).

At least the poor have a choice whether to take the loan.

How many people do you know in this country who have NEVER needed to take a loan?

wall street vs. main street

some dont see the difference... these are the same that will also say "well if you took econ 101 at whogivesashit university then you would see the obvious reasons and benefits of this"... indoctrinated fools arguing that bill gates needs a tax cut :rolleyes:


"a rising tide lifts all hips" hahahaha, fucking classic.... classic bullshit

all you do is circle jerk around your liberal buddies who want to steal from the rich and give to the poor. your heart is so big and I envy your generosity. but you make a good point........pick up and econ book and you'll see that im right.

no kidding. Reagan's fairytale of $ raining down on everyone have been nothing but showers of another kind....ewwww. we've been hearing this bull about how tax cuts and trickle down economics will benefit all for what the last 25+ years? but people are so blind that they seem to think that it's going to suddenly showing positive effects for everyone when the only ones that benefit are the elite

how has the economy not benefited from bush's taxes cuts? if anything, they had too much of a positive effect causing greediness throughout the economy on all levels.

tax cuts weren't only for the rich. middle income families also saw tax cuts which in turn increased consumer spending, which created jobs.

bush might be a horrible president but his tax policies have kept the economy growing. and tax increases would have put a halt to growth. luckily the dems have a sensible plan that will shift the percentages around and make it more fair for those in the middle.

there it is again... classic!


i took a few econ and finance courses, and did quite well actually... the last one i took the professor stated that massive layoffs are actually a good thing... because these people then start their own business or fill other jobs in need of labor... lets just say i was the first to rasie my hand and call bullshit. it is that type of mentality in the business world that is rampant and flat out disgusting

who is the economy growing for? not for any of my middle class/lower income friends and family,. i can tell you that as a fact my friend

seriously jlew, there is a huge difference between wall street and main street... just because wall street appears to be doing well, doesnt mean that main street is doing well

do you talk to normal people? if you did then you woulddnt be spewing this bullshit that everything is fine and the economy is doing well :rolleyes:

bottom line is this... the cost of EVERYTHING is skyrocketing, and wages are stagnant or dropping


and no econmy is doing well when 40 million people are uninsured without health care

no you are the classic one, trust me. how is he wrong? you would rather the unemplyoment rate be 0.0% and every person in this country works for corporate america? I call your bullshit.

an unemployment rate of 0% is not a positive thing. A positive rate of unemployment is the price we pay for technological development and for people chasing their dreams.
