when an election can be bought our democracy is gone.

Don’t look know, but there’s David Koch heading for your trailer. Assume the position!

And by the way, being a predictable useful idiot doesn’t classify you as “smart”, nor does thinking of yourself as “smart” in your own little mind. But experience tells me that you’re going to keep on getting more and more foolish in your justifcations for being a leftist drone. As Albert Einstein said “The difference between genius and stupidity is genius has it’s limit”. You clearly have NO LIMITS, Whut. Sorry to burst your bubble.

Have a nice day!

Yes, from your response I understand. You are one of the ‘Wall Street Groupies’, grabbing your ankles whenever the Koch Brothers pass by your trailer. Oh, and that dog-whistle: All I can say to you is that Obama is your leader. He’ll be your LEADER for 4 more years, and he’ll be black the WHOLE TIME!

Do try to deal with less whining. Remember, at least you have your pickup truck – some people aren’t even that fortunate.

Have a nice day.

Your statement…

>”I don’t consider all entrepreneurs ‘predators and opportunists’. Those who are greedy to the point where they thoroughly deserve public criticism and scorn know full well who they are.”<

is all one needs to know where you stand. Aren't those entrepreneurs that YOU don't consider 'predators and opportunists' just so lucky? How narrowly they have escaped the scorn of someone just so smart and full of wisdom as you!

Like I said before, Whut, you're no better than any other arrogant piece of crap leftist that believes it's your right to be the arbiter of who is allowed to do what, how they do it, and whether or not it deserves your scorn or approval. Go pound sand. You're just another useful idiot in a long line of useful idiots at The Memo.

By the way, I do just fine at what I do.

Have a nice day!

I don’t consider ‘anyone who is successful’ as ‘greedy charlatan’, and I think I was clear when I referenced the political leanings of Warren Buffett and Bill Gates — both of whom I consider successful, don’t you? What I was actually referring to was the discussion regarding ‘pack animals’ and ‘leaders’, which ironically upon closer examination disproves the underlying theory for which the argument was used (by Nom_DeGuerre). Successful leaders always exhibit traits that demonstrate a strong respect for the well-being of the ‘pack, and the ‘pack’ in turn only consents to be led when this trait is evident. Pretenders don’t last long.

I do indeed care about the poor, and indeed many conservatives do not (although I admit there are some who do). Then there are those who simply lie.

I don’t consider all entrepreneurs ‘predators and opportunists’. Those who are greedy to the point where they thoroughly deserve public criticism and scorn know full well who they are. I’ve had the good fortune to be successful, but I never forget how and why it was possible. I appreciate that society that gave me opportunities, and I understand why others who went before me were responsible enough to foster an environment where I and others could succeed. I’m willing to contribute my share for the next generation.

So, Bozo, aside from your obvious dog-whistle dislike for the black man who currently resides in the White House — what’s your story? Are you wealthy and greedily squeezing your shiny pennies while denying that the generosity and sacrifice of others who enabled you to be so fortunate, or are you merely one of those ‘Wall Street Groupies’ who WISH they were wealthy while stupidly presenting arguments against their own best interests?

Society doesn’t need a ‘greed cop’. The general population will eventually put an end to predatory practices. It’s just a question of how long it takes to happen and how angry they will be when it happens. If ever you have any doubt that this is true, just pick up any good history book and enlighten yourself.
