Buys Ad To Warn About Socialism

[California Girl]

Here is a fool who has nothing better to do with his money.

He can spend his own money however he wants. If he was doing this for Obama, you'd be calling him a 'hero'. Fucking hypocrite.

Here's a Bible verse that all those who are constantly defending the wealthy while disgarding the working class and poor should read and think about.

"Suppose a man comes into your meeting wearing a gold ring and fine clothes, and a poor man in shabby clothes also comes in. If you show special attention to the man wearing fine clothes and say, 'Here's a good seat for you,' but say to the poor man, 'You stand there' or 'Sit on the floor by my feet,' have you not discriminated among yourselves and becomes judges with evil thoughts? Listen, my dear brothers: Has not God chosen those who are poor in the eyes of the world to be rich in faith and to inherit the kingdom He promised those who love Him? But you have insulted the poor. Is it not the rich who are exploiting you? Are they not the ones who are dragging you into court?" James 2:2-6

Yeah. Now find the one where Jesus said you should give your money to the government so THEY can help the poor.

How absolutely amazing -- a multi-millionaire who is opposed to socialism. I can hardly believe it!

I would like to tell this greedy sonofabitch to his face what I think, which is every penny over twenty million dollars in personal assets which he and others like him have managed to accumulate through his "hard work" on Wall Street (or some other exploitative scheming) should be confiscated by the IRS. And see how he likes that. Because the primary flaw in the U.S. economic system is permitting gluttons like him to hoard more money than any rational human being could need to lead a luxurious life.

I'd like to hear him lament how he couldn't get along on twenty million.

Imagine that: a computer programmer on Wall Street gets rich. How utterly incredible.

Why does the word, guillotine, come to mind?

Key point:

HIS money.

Are you trying to use the Bible to justify your politics?

It's okay when the left does it. No, really -- just ask them.

I see you are one of the tear down others crowd.

Tell me something, why do you need the government to help you steal from people? Are you so incompetent that you can't even shoot someone in the back and steal their car without hep from the Army?

Mikey's entitled to what he didn't earn. Uncle Vlad told him so.

Let me get this straight ...

it's greedy, wrong and evil if a person earns wealth and does what he (legally) can to keep it

but it isn't greedy, wrong or evil if government just takes whatever it wants from said person



I am so glad I don't live in your loony liberal land.

thats the beauty of modern barbaric liberalism!! You redefine theft and think yourself saintly for stealing another man's money!

There are multiple real world examples of what happens when governments go out of their way to make sure rich people have less money, can you show me a single example of one that worked?

Yes. The period in America between the 40s and 80s, when the progressive income tax rate imposed a 91% level on the super-rich. Those were the most prosperous and productive decades in our history. It was the era that saw the rise of the Great American Middle Class.

And that era ended when Ronald Reagan, The Great De-Regulator and champion of the One Percent, came to power.

Seriously? You don't think the boom in the 80s to 90s was bigger than the entire 40 years you just cherry picked? Do you know that every economist on the planet would laugh at you fro that claim?

That dealt with, can you explain why the US went to all the trouble of closing all the loopholes and offshore banking options to hide your income after that period, while simultaneously cutting the top rate? Can you explain why everyone thought this was a good idea? Or do you really think that people were not hiding their income in order to avoid paying taxes on it, thus depriving the government of tax revenue?

I use the Word of God to guide me in many, many ways.

I never use the Word of God, I let him use me. Maybe you should try that for a change.

Seriously? You don't think the boom in the 80s to 90s was bigger than the entire 40 years you just cherry picked?

What "boom?" Are you talking about the illusion created by the demented corporatist puppet, Ronald Reagan, The Man From General Electric, who put the Nation on a credit card which we'll be paying down for the foreseeable future? Some "boom."

Do you know that every economist on the planet would laugh at you fro that claim?

Yes. Every Friedman apostle, that is. But have you heard what the Keynesians have to say about it?

That dealt with, can you explain why the US went to all the trouble of closing all the loopholes and offshore banking options to hide your income after that period, while simultaneously cutting the top rate? Can you explain why everyone thought this was a good idea? Or do you really think that people were not hiding their income in order to avoid paying taxes on it, thus depriving the government of tax revenue?

People, (in the Romney category) were hiding their incomes because the regulations that once prevented them from doing so were eliminated by the likes of your hero, Ronald Reagan, whose first claim to economic fame was the Savings & Loan rip-off. The looting took off from there and what we have today was begun back then.

That's all I have to say because arguing with brainwashed Libertarians is futile. None of you want to pay taxes and from the singular and determined notion that "taxation is theft" a virtual religion has evolved. Libertarianism is theology, not politics. It's like belief in virgin birth and a holy ghost. Some of you would go to your deaths for it.

I apologize, I thought you were just stupid, I had no idea you were actually crazy.

And were it not for that advantage how do you suppose we managed to rebuild from the devastating cost of defending ourselves and the free world against the Third Reich -- while simultaneously giving rise to a prosperous, hard-working middle class? We didn't have the "only" economy but we had the strongest economy because of our industrial growth in constructing the machinery of war. And while we were doing that we also helped to rebuild most of Europe, including the homelands of our enemies.

You need to consider all the facts, not just those pumped into your brain by Limbaugh and other right-wing propagandists who have turned you into a misinformed sheep who relies on ad hominem insults as vehicles for conveying empty arguments.

"...while disgarding the working class and poor should read and think about."

Muddled thinking on your part.

1. The 'working class' and the wealthy are one and the same....unless their names are 'Kennedy.'


2. "Poor" means no home, no heat, no food.
Do you see any such?


3. On the other hand, your post identifies you as a 'reliable Democrat voter.'
Carry on.
