To: We The People, lucysmom, Capitalist Eric (#1) You have no constitutional right to be rich, but you have the opportunity. That is the lie. This unequal wealth distribution on par with 3rd world nations shows that the opportunity for advancement for 99% of the population is not happening. Two conclusions can be reached from this. Either 99% of the American people are stupid/lazy which is the Republican position stated often - but I consider it a position akin to anti-Americanism. The other more likely conclusion is that the system is rigged. Case in point Enron traders talking about how they raped Grandma from her savings: Godwinson  posted on  2011-02-01   1:48:59 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   #7. To: Godwinson (#4) Case in point Enron traders talking about how they raped Grandma from her savings: And if you had your way, according to many of your own posts, you'd rape me of my savings. You'd like to rape every other productive American citizen of their savings to pay for the unproductive. What makes you think that you're entitled to my money? What makes you different from those Enron thieves? We The People  posted on  2011-02-01   17:37:31 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   Replies to Comment # 7. #9. To: We The People (#7) What makes you think that you're entitled to my money? It's all about perceived need. If his perception is that he needs something you have more than YOU need it, then he'll steal it. If his perception is that he needs something you have more than YOU need it, and he can't steal it, he'll assemble a "Political Action Committee" to lobby the government to steal it from you, and give it to him... If his perception is that you have more than HE thinks you need, he'll assemble a "Political Action Committee" to lobby the government to steal it from you, and give it to anyone HE judges to be more "in need" than you... And then, after he's taken a cut for himself, he'll give the "needy" whatever scraps are necessary, to soothe his moral pangs... If his perception is that you have more than HE thinks you need, he'll assemble a "Political Action Committee" to lobby the government to steal it from you, and then give himself a fat pay raise, becuase dammit, he worked HARD on stopping you from having so much...... If his perception is that you're already a rich elitist snob who's Hell-bent on destroying the USA, he'll bow down and kiss your ring. Any questions?

To: We The People, Lucysmom, go65, Capitalist Eric, (#7) (Edited) And if you had your way, according to many of your own posts, you'd rape me of my savings. You'd like to rape every other productive American citizen of their savings to pay for the unproductive. You are productive because you live in a place where there is potable water, roads, Internet, police and a defense force. Move to Somalia the Congo, Liberia or Burundi where there is limited or no govt and no taxes and let's see how productive you are there. Your claim to productivity did not arise in a vacuum. The infrastructure of society - paid for by taxes - is what allowed your productivity. How productive would you be if for example we did away with public assistance to the poor. Can you work while there is rioting in the street or maybe an insurgency or an epidemic not treated by tax funded govt? Lastly, even Jesus Christ, the Lord made flesh himself tells you not to complain about paying taxes with money the govt creates. Whose seal is on those dollar bills you don't want to pay taxes with? PS: There could be alternatives to direct taxation like import duties, or direct ownership of natural resources (no more private oil patches or private mines) like seen in Norway and use that as an alternative revenue stream but I have a feeling even in those cases you social darwinists would be against using that money to aid the poor in any way also based on this 'let the weak die' philosophy.
