What a shocker. NOT!

These uber rich are nothing more than fuedal kings masking their hording claiming "free market" to justify their slash and burn no rules atmosphere. Then the rest of the sensible public simply suggests rules and a decrease in pay gap and cost of living,  they cry like little babies that we want them to become Stalin   commies.

When will these assholes get it. No one who values the democratic west is nor should suggest getting rid of the free market. Abuse of power and monopolies of power are bad. Be it a monopoly of a political party, religion OR CLASS.

What we have in America is rule by one class and the monopoly of power by one class.

How does this class suggest that the tax cuts they are getting get paid for? They love crying about "do it on your own" but are the class getting the most welfare at the expense of the other two classes. They would love nothing more than our labor market have the same gap and standard of living as China and India. That is their idea of "competition".

Jefferson, hated, not all, but many big banks and hated many  big industries, he did not hate business ownership by itself. He hated the potential of "might makes right" and "money equals power". He hated monopolies of power and he hated exploitation. Anything in life that has a monopoly, a religion, a political party, or a class can exploit outsiders when there are no checks.

The problem with our free market today is that the competition IS not lowering prices or benefiting the consumer. It competition between attracting shareholders and CEOs and marketing. Our market has just become passing around money like bets at a vegas bookie.

If wages went up and prices went down, these very people who cry, "Do it on your own" would see that more people WOULD do it on their own and not turn to government. So I would suggest to the uber rich, if you want the middle and poor class to "do it on their own" THEN YOU TOO, NEED TO DO THE SAME. Otherwise when the cost of living is exploding and wages are not keeping up with the gap, then DONT bitch when others turn to government for help in protecting them from your lopsided monopoly.

Rehashing "trickle down" economics will do nothing but create the same bubbles I have personally seen from the airlines in the 80s to the COM bubbles in the 90s and the bank and car companies today. We need quality wages and a far less lopsided pay gap. And we need to MAKE THINGS HERE. We need to STOP using Wall Street like a casino.

No sane person in any westernized open market system wants a government owned economy like Stalin or Kim Jong Ill. But it is selfish and absurd to continue the "NO RULES" "MONEY IS THE ONLY GOAL IN LIFE" "EVERY MAN FOR THEMSELVES"

There has to be a point where one should be able to see that they have way more than they need and rather than hoard it, invest it back into the very people who do the work to make you rich. A  happy labor force is a productive labor force. If they have the means to pay their bills and have time to be at home with their kids, and can go to the doctor without worrying about it bankrupting them, they wont turn to government. If everything is allegedly cheaper and more efficient to do in the private sector, THEN MAKE IT CHEAPER by caring about people more than profit. AS THE RICH LIKE TO SAY, DO IT ON YOUR OWN.

I do not believe that there is a conspiracy by the rich. I do believe that their is a paranoia in the climate by the rich. I think right wingers like Limbaugh and Beck effectively sell people a utopia and that somehow cooperation and compromise is evil and the only way to be a moral decent human being is to be obscenely rich.

There was a lady out west who owned a printing business, who recently made the news. She could have fired her employees to keep her own salary. INSTEAD, she fired herself and put her salary BACK into the people working for her so that THEY could keep their jobs. She didn't have to legally do that at all, but out of all the people who had the means to do such, she saw what most at the top don't see. SHE is a business owner I can respect.

There is no script to life and suggesting rules to the road does not make one anti car. My only problem with our current system, isn't the free market, it is the lopsidedness and the monopoly of power. Imagine if those at the top cared as much as this lady does.

This is STILL bullshit because it is a short term solution which dumps the burden on the future. HOW IS ALL THIS GOING TO GET PAID FOR?

How about raising the tax on the rich and lowering it on the middle and poor. It is not that the rich cant afford it, it is that they don't want to pay more. It is BLACKMAIL! They threaten job cuts to protect their profit margin. That is not a free market, that is a RIGGED market via BLACKMAIL!

Those who have more should pay more, PERIOD! I don't want to hear some dipshit whine about not affording a third mansion when meat for someone making 7.25 an hour costs 4 bucks a pound and gas being over 3 bucks a gallon. CRY ME A FUCKING RIVER

The middle class and poor STILL pay a higher tax rate and the GAP between the lowest paid and highest paid is EXPLODING and it is because of the lack of introspection of the top. Our economy is becoming a free for all, not anything constructive.

I challenge these dipshits if they think the middle and poor classes are whining too much, to do every job in their company by themselves with no help. Otherwise accept the fact that other people exist in OUR economy and "might makes right" is bullshit and is destructive.

Thanks Gene, I get on auto pilot, especially with this issue. Everyone has their sensitive issues, and this is mine. I guess it is due to my past where I spent way to much time trying to be everything everyone else wanted me to be and no time being myself. Its not a matter of hating all rich people, it is a matter of jadedness in thinking those who don't have as much are worth less.

Thanks for pulling me aside and slapping me in the face. Still doesn't change my message though. "We are all in this together" IS NOT socialism. It is more like, "Get a grip, you are not the only class that exists or that should have a voice".

Now I will retract my fangs and craw back into my cave. FROTH FROTH FOAM AT THE MOUTH GERRRRRR GERRRRRR

LOL.

I don't know who did the moderator edit, but I do love their sense of humor.

Welcome to Canada, where you can pay as much as 50% in tax if you're rich.  The majority pay 35%.
