Reply #116: Meh...The rich are like 50/50 and considering their situation that is pretty amazing [View All]

who burns me up are the zombie hoard of serfs that put their guts and votes into screwing themselves over for them.

I'm more of a get rid of poverty type. I don't believe we are anywhere near getting past winners and losers and all that "fun" stuff but if we want to ever get there or just behave as if we have basic civility we can establish a floor. As far as I'm concerned the sky can be the limit but a ground that allows one to reach without overcoming odds ranging from tough to amazing is something we should be about.

It is much easier to be civilized and build excess when the the struggle to survive goes off the front burner.
At worst and from about the crappiest point of view, people watching tv with full bellies are not very prone to crime.

My problem with the rich now is just the unmitigated avarice. We have people so rich now that they are pretty much dragons sitting on their hoards. There can be no "trickle down" because the dragons must posses every bauble whether they ever see it or not.

The dragons suck but the wannabees are stupid, disgusting, and disgustingly stupid. They are just screaming to the world that they are greedy, ignorant, and callous pricks that would give rich people a bad name if they were ever to be blessed with a lot of resources.
