Okay, so the Enlightened Progressives want me to depise the rich because of their wealth..
Now, most of these Enlightened Progressives are what I would consider "rich"
I can't say that I despise them because of their wealth.. I despise them more for their ideals..
Am I missing something?
I think they've exempted themselves from the being-hated part, since they were the ones who called on everyone to hate the rich. Sort of like our "elected representatives" opting themselves out of the whole health care thing that they slammed us with.
And if that's what being an "Enlightened Progressive" is, I'm pleased to remain an unenlightened (insert current disparaging description of anyone not a libtard/enlightened progressive here).
They're not included in that, in the same way that they believe socialism has never worked before, but they will make it work..
or maybe they DO know how socialism works, and are looking for a class of people to rule over... nothing like convincing the masses to go along with an idea to enslave themselves... [Bang]
Well, I have thought along those lines also..
The way I look at it, it's the "rich" people that pay me,(When I'm working, that is.) Why would I have any cause to resent that?
We already gave you unemployment you ingrate. And what's this? Why the hell aren't you coloring!? Get back to coloring!

I find it hysterical that the very rich embrace such an philosophy. They are the ones who have to pay the most in that system. they would be better off making huge, tax-deductible donations to help those in need rather than entrusting the government to what needs to be done.
Yeah, They could send it to me.. I'm sure I could put it to better use than the .Gov...[Abused]
Naw Marlin, you're not missing a thing.
[Obvious Dripping Sarcasm]But, see, it's different for them because, after all, their "intent" is different... They get rich without having "greed" in their hearts. They'd happily give all of that money up if they honestly believed that it would make a positive difference, but, alas, the money from the middle income peasants actually goes further and does more good; see?[/Obvious Dripping Sarcasm]
Here's something to consider. Michael Moore claims to despise capitalism, yet he continues to make millions of dollars on his movies. Is this not capitalism? The guy trys to come off as a normal guy, but he's a millionaire making his $$ by spitting on the very system that has made him rich.
His latest diatribe, Capitalism: A Love Story resulted in a gross revenue of Total Lifetime Grosses</B>
Domestic: $14,363,397 82.4%+ Foreign: $3,073,112 17.6%= Worldwide: $17,436,509

Given that it was a documentary where Michael Moore is the only "star", the costs weren't too high, so this guy raked it in.
Not a bad deal. How exactly is this NOT Capitalism?

M Moore is a total cock fag. fuck him. I boycotted all his movies.
He spits on capitalism, yet he interviews on the Hannity show and he talks about his big houses (Hannity got it out of him), and makes a few indications how much money he has (again thanks to Hannity). If he is in love with the idea of keeping things equal he needs to move his fat ass into the fucking hood and leave his door open with all his cash in his bedroom.
fuck him.
It is a deceitful trick to get you under their thumb.Quote:

Of the 535 members of the Congress, last I heard, there were 147 millionaires, most of them multimillionaires. I know they don't represent my views and interests, maybe they are representing millionaires? [NoClue]

Good Lord... Do you know what I could do with just 1 million dollars?! Fix all of my past mistakes, set up my mom and dad for their elder years and STILL have money left over to fix my car and purchase a few other small items!!! I'm in the wrong business... I could do it with HALF a million...Quote:
