Another "it doesn't matter to the common man post" (August Busch IV)

i wonder what his defense will be for the dead hooker.

I don't think you guy's realize how many "poor" guys get away with the same crap.

Over the years I've known more "shady characters" than I care to admit ... most of them get away with their crimes just as often as Kennedys do (if not more-so since there's no negative business or social consequences for being accused of crimes). Thing is when Bubba is found in a questionable situation its at best a blurb in the back of the paper ... when a rich guy is found in a questionable situation it makes the front page and leads the evening news.

The reality is that Bubba is probably MORE likely to get away with crime because Officer Friendly is more afraid that Bubba will just up and shoot him in the face more than Daddy Warbucks will.

Its not about "rich people get away with more than poor/middle class do". The truth is the system just comes down harder on good people and lets repeat offenders off too lightly.

I cringe whenever I see self proclaimed freedom loving people (and one assumes gun owners are freedom loving) engage in the same class warfare rhetoric as the leftists that would like to be our overlords ... makes me feel like they're winning.


Furthermore I still don't understand why anyone would need to drink Budweiser anymore ... the microbrew revolution started more than two decades ago, there are plenty of better options.

I agree %100. I know of plenty of non-rich people that get by breaking the law. They just don't get the press coverage unless they do something really outrageous.
