Well that's pretty crazy and I guess coming from you, expected. I gotta ask, why are you all for the rich when you "say" you make less than 35K? Are you lying or just stupid? I can not figure people that vote against their own best interest. Voting for rich people to pay less does you not one bit of good, unless you have some rich relatives and are expecting some inheritance or some other pertinent reason, otherwise, by common sense, you're crazy. And BTW, the rich have been winning the money game in leaps and bounds while unemployment and poverty are reaching new heights, feeling sorry for the rich is totally insane.

I won't respond to your response toward me...doesn't really change anything. Your vernacular in this post says it all. "for the rich" "winning the money game". If I felt higher taxes would cause a decrease in unemployment, I would not be opposed. However, raising taxes will not fix that and in reality will have a nominal impact on the "poor". In today's environment, it would cause real damage to the overall economy which is fragile.

While I don't give a rats ass about the super rich buying more shit or getting wealthier, I know in a recession what is good for the goose is good for the gander. I'd rather a strong business environment foster an improving economy to help with unemployment. "Leveling" the playing field will never work and it is a pie in the sky idea. This idea has failed over and over throughout history. And what is a "bit"? Who gets to decide and who do you trust to determine what a bit is? It's impractical and dangerous. You are advocating purposely hampering ones ability to prosper in a pathetic hope that it will somehow benifit another. Like the Govs balance sheet is some zero sum game that gets directly funneled to the unfortunate. The private sector creates jobs, wealth and tax revenue not the Gov.

Uhh, I live in the city and actually spend money for food. I lived on a farm when I was younger, never ate better, 1/2 acre garden, cows, pigs, chickens, a horse. fresh milk and cream, homemade butter, homebaked bread, scrumptious. I don't need any excuses mr. NoDrama, I eat pretty healthy and don't have to pull weeds. I still doubt you didn't spend one dime for foodstuffs. Did you mill your own wheat that you grew and cornmeal from your corn crops, make your own Butter, Ice cream etc, I seriously doubt you are completely off the grid, I mean, what about all the time you spend on RIU?
 
uhhh I live in the city too. Im not "OFF" the grid, but do enjoy solar power. Sure I spent SOME cash on a few things, milk, eggs, butter, cheese, but its not my money I spent. I spent YOUR money on those things. You subsidize my foodstuffs whether you were aware of that or not.

So you get food subsidies and rip on me for collecting Social security which I paid into for 50 fucking years. You are one crazy bastard. I'll not believe one thing you post from now on.
 
Under 35k
I don't want to take from the rich.
Taking something that doesn't belong to you is theft.
Unless you can prove that the "rich" in question :
1. harmed someone physicaly; or
2. commited theft, fraud or violence
In the aquisition of their wealth,
You have no legitamit beef with him.
How would you like a mob of guys to just start going through your shit for lose change.
When you didn't do anything wrong?

I have NEVER ripped on you , not even a tiny teensy little bit for getting SS benefits. How you come up with these OUTRAGEOUS untruths is beyond me. Senility perhaps?
