Jealous and envious of others is no way to go through life.
You're projecting.

Look it up.

I also find the idea that these same people support punishing the more successful with higher taxes amusing,that IS based solely upon they have more than me and so should pay...talk about childish.
OR...

Maybe those with more money have more to pay with. Just thought I should point that out.

Oh, and please explain the "punishment" endured by millionaires. I'm under the impression they have it pretty good. Heck, I've got it pretty good. And I'm a long way off from being a millionaire. I'm just a working stiff. And I don't wimper about paying my taxes.

Palin Bachman 2012 baby.

I say we go forward with what our republican friends are trying to accomplish. Its quite the experiment fusing Feudalism and facism into one system of Govt. Its whats coming. I dont even waste time arguing with voo-doo economists who support the "supply side theory". Because eventually their system will eat them alive also.

Actually I think what is coming is a new age of mercantilism.

It is supported by BOTH parties to the detriment of the people.

But some cannot or will not see that 'their party' is just as guilty as the 'party of the rich'....

No, it wasn't an answer. It was a childish insult. A common one tossed out by those who, like you, take up the cause of America's wealthy for some incomprehensible reason.

Because they have more to pay with.

And, even after they've paid, they still have millions. They're doing OK in the money dept.

Touch'e noted and now admitted.

I akin the republicans to a thug who will jump you and @&$ rape you in a dark alley then call you names and selfish for not enjoying it.

The democrats go the Roofie route but atleast you get dinner a movie and they bring condoms and lube.

So until Americans get smart enough to change out election system format and ignore "CORPORATE MEDIA" I will error on the side of

I do notice corporate America saw the incoming wave of Dems in 06' & 08' and went out and BOUGHT themselves some Dems to hold up progress mandated by a 60 vote DEM majority.

Where is the greeting card industry on this? Should they print sympathy cards that the lower wage earners can send to the rich?
