Thank you Bill, I believe that true wealth is not found in one’s singular largess over others, but rather is a collective condition. The best part of my philosophy is that it makes republicans’ heads explode, and that is a lovely sight indeed.

Why can’t they be clean, hard-working, independent Americans like the Occutards?

Unfortunately, you are 100% correct!

This is the current state of our country.

Make sure people won’t or can’t get a good education. This is especially true with Science. Science ALWAYS trumps Religion.

Make sure you can’t make a decent living wage to challenge the Status Quo.

Keep people in poverty to make sure the upper crust stays well-funded.

Keep people stupid and disenfranchise voters.

Keep people at each others throats by using misinformation, bigotry and hatred.

This is and always has been the usual tactic of the right wing and of conservatives in general.

They would much rather have a society where each individual state is a KINGDOM, answerable only to themselves. There would be NO Federal Oversight of any of their laws and activities.

The rest of us, the left over 90% would be living under servitude, total lack of education – basically nothing more than Peasants. And, the only knowledge anyone other than the top 10% would have, would come from the Church.

This is starting to sound more and more like the Dark Ages in Europe. And, this is exactly what these people are trying to do and have done to a certain extent.

The rest of us are total fools for falling for it.

Snow:

There is a lot of stuff in the Constitution that needs to be revamped and re-stated for our time and needs.

The outdated document is so outdated, it looks like a piece of Swiss Cheese. What is stated in it is mostly “concepts”, very few guarantees. And, what guarantees there are, are vague at best.

Even our Bill Of Rights is somewhat of a joke.

I got wealthy exactly the way you described. I did it honestly without skinning anybody. The taxes I pay are not a penalty, they are the fair price for enjoying a great country. It would do me no good to be singularly wealthy amongst a mass of starving peasants.

Maybe according to your biased misinformation jointerjohn. Most people get wealthy the old-fashioned way, they work hard, are responsible with their money, stay out of debt and sacrifice. Now you want to tax them for their hard work & success. Are you living in China? In America that is the way it is supposed to happen, all of us have a chance at it. Maybe you would prefer the Federal Government telling you what car you may drive, the size of the house you may live in, and now of course, how much money you can make before they hit you with a penalty!

Self enrichment is fine, until you dupe, prey upon and defraud others to accomplish it. Then it’s just despicable and that is what many of the most successful practitioners of “self enrichment” are doing now. Don’t allow yourself to be a victim by reading only words instead of complete sentences.

They gathered the stupidest people in the country together, gave them 3 corner party hats and and sent them out to protest against health care reform, which was aimed to give protections for people like them and their families. Once they found a group that would litterly campaign against itself the door was open, for anything. Even unionism which only protects working people,
and enviornmentalism which protects their children. They got them to vote for right to work for less money and pushed an anti science agenda so they couldn’t understand the science of climate change. This really says something about education in this country that adults can be so unaware of their government and surroundings. They can be a subject of a new Book called the Rich and the stupid. since that is what this is all about
