 Socratoad says: Odd is it not that I really have a hard time empathizing with the petty grievances of the excessively wealthy Odd is it not that I really have a hard time empathizing with the petty grievances of the excessively wealthyBecause you are just excessively petty, or you can't stand that other people work harder than you and are more successful? But lovely clip though. yeah, only millionaires work hard  Work harder than me? Like the execs at Enron, and others of that ilk that readily spring to mind clip-on-tie, I set my snare to catch neocon twits ... worked like a charm. You and other such devolved forms of diminished reasoning power are so predictable Even if the millionaires are getting poorer, the billionaires are getting richer. This is not due to any liberal schemes, this is the essense of capitalism: Concentrate wealth and centralize power. This is a good thing. We will all soon be equal .........broke. I can't believe clippy even said that. Really? The rich work harder? Staggering. "Because you are just excessively petty, or you can't stand that other people work harder than you and are more successful?" Oh dear, did someone wake up with a dunce hat on today? Obviously you have never worked within the trades or minimum wage jobs? In fact screw that!! How about those in Africa and other places around the world who are starving to death, do you think that they simply don't work hard enough too? Saying that in some places around the world is likely to get you lynched, in the old sense of the word that is. "Even if the millionaires are getting poorer, the billionaires are getting richer." A very astute observation Roughy44 The reason if anyone is interested is b... The rich prepare harder, spend more on education, risk more, provide more, engage more resposibly, pay ALL taxes to support the inept, Employ almost EVERYONE, give by far the most to charity, spend more to support others, invest more to support others. And, after all that, they would be even better off if there were no poor. The poor are kept poor by the Left. Odd is it not that I really have a hard time empathizing with the petty grievances of the excessively wealthyPettiness indeed. And/or, hate and bigotry. Yep, sometimes luck is a factor. And it just so happens that clipontie was lucky enough not to have the experiences that lead to such ignorant delusions as those possessed by socratoad. One more thing. The first thought of those who are successful, when they experience setback, is usually positive. They know they will turn it around and are not the first to stand in line for a handout. So, until they get things turned around, your sorry ass friends can just sit around hating them until they are able to employ your sorry ass again. The middle classes will end up on the breadline just the same enjoy it while it lasts. Actually, infowarrior, the real threat is to the middle class. The materialist tradition abhors the middle class. when there is primarily only the rich and the serfs, then you have equality in the mind of the Progressive fascists. You and other such devolved forms of diminished reasoning power are so predictablemeowwwwww. I just love the way Clip on Tie gets em going, lolol Clipon and willy blissfully spout on, apparently unaware of the greed factor that has damn near brought the present corrupt financial system tumbling down. Apparently the cult of "what-me-worry" Alfred E. Neuman still flourishes among the right-wing. Hence the mindset that got the world into this pile of shit. But, on no the right-wing loonies point their fingers at affordable and accessible health care for all as major threat, maybe even a satanical plot. Tis enough to make a buzzard puke LOL, Greed...LOL. I doubt very seriously you have clue about the reason for the financial problems. There is a difference in greed and corrpution....the corruption of Congress, ACORN, etc...The anctaul banking institutions have less to do with the problems than political greed. However, greed is very important because it IS the prime motivating factor for idiot materialists. Greed is what prevents you from giving to charity ( obama gave 2% of his windfall millions to charity with most of it going to the Congressional Black Caucus). Greed is what impels one to scheme in ordernot to pay taxes Geitner, Rangel, and seemingly everyone in Obama's cabinet, Greed is what makes one need to pass legis... Good gracious, willie, you really are on a fatuous roll here, aren't you? Accusing 'toad of not having a clue is sort of like telling Webster he couldn't spell. I love it when you put your foot into it. Nobody does it better. He said toad doesn't have a clue about what caused the financial problems. Besides vague references to and blaming "the greedy right wing" (lets get real, please) for it all, what exactly is your theory Socratoad? Maybe because 2007 saw the largest national total income gain since 1928 and 66% of that money went to the top 1% rich. The last time such a large share of the income gain during an expansion went to the top 1 percent of households — and such a small share went to the bottom 90 percent of households — was in the 1920s. It's called 'trickle up' economics and under Bush it was touted as a benefit to the poor. We can see where it got us. Bartender, what is your evidence that the backwater hick has the slightest clue about the economic crisis? If you show me some informed comment by him/her, then I will gladly retract. On second thought, what is your evidence socratoad has the slightest clue about anything? Use of the phrase 'Faux News' and comparing libertarians to fascists does not suggest a very high level of intellectual acuity. It usually suggests backwater ignorance. How's that badger stew? Most people measure intelligence in IQ points, the ability to make a valid point,the ability to understand facts, the ability to reason, the amount of knowledge they have acquired, and whether or not they actually make sense. Wilhelm, your "yardstick" only has 2 measurements. Those who agree with you and those who do not. My yardstick is logic and facts. Please do not project onto me your own kunacy and disregard for truth. If you want to make a point, then learn to use logic. If you want to berate me, then go right ahead. That is certainly fine with me. Just please include facts and logic from time to time. Yard yardstick actually borders on dementia, however don't let that prevent you from babbling on ad infinitum I really do not intend to engage in a battle of wits with you because it would be rather unprincipled of me to fight an unarmed man. Also its unwise to become engaged in a prolonged argument with a fool, as after a while onlookers would, with some justification, become confused enough to think us both fools.. So without malice, please disregard my clips from now on if they somehow are a threat to your fragile ego Correction: Your yardstick So without malice, please disregard my clips from now on if they somehow are a threat to your fragile egoLOL. That can ONLY be projection. Again, the fact that someone can say "faux News" or suggest libertarians are fascists suggests supreme ignorance, and you come back to chastise me for that opinion? I do not seek a battle of wits, but the words you choose suggest more than you probably know. All I did, toad, was make a comment about the nature of the vast majority of the achievers in America. It was contrasted with your bigotry: Odd is it not that I really have a hard time empathizing with the petty grievances of the excessively wealthyWhose ego is ... OK. Let us lighten up. Here is a good joke. President Obama is visiting an elementary school and he visits one of the classes (4th grade). They are in the middle of a discussion related to words and their meanings. The teacher asks the President if he would like to lead the class in the discussion of the word, "tragedy." So the illustrious leader asks the class for an example of a "tragedy." One little boy stands up and offers, "If my best friend, who lives next door, is playing in the street and a car comes along and runs him over, that would be a tragedy." "No," says Obama, "that would be an ACCIDENT." A little girl raises her hand: "If a school bus carrying 50 children drove off a c... Uh, that joke was used about 7 years ago on Bush. Leave it to a GOPer to mirror his superiors and lack any imagination in creating anything on their own. Love that particular plagerize. No doubt Jeffrey got that Bush joke from TN's clips.  And again, willhelm alters reality to fit his skewed perspective. Of course if someone were REALLY interested they would see that it started with George Bush Sr. But let us lighten this up. Here is a good joke. A friend of mine said they saw willhelm eating a shit sandwich, but I said "Oh no, willhelm doesn't like bread!" Then he said, "Well I saw willhelm floating down the river" and I said "That's impossible! Turds don't float!" All in the spirit of a joke, right willy? |
