Wrong. It would be by means of co-operative resources.



If you put down your ego, you'd realize that most successful people have worked hard to get more. It's why capitalism works.



Your emotion tends to cloud your mirror.

You'd be wrong. It's easy to understand why you believe this, since you seem to believe that anybody who has anything was given it and that all the hard workers are shut out. The problem is it's not reality.

It would be YOU who would be pleading and saying it isn't fair that you haven't been given what you need - deserve.

Now, if you are talking about more of a raw survival of the fittest kind of thing, I would guess that you wouldn't stand a chance against me.



SQUIRREL!!!!!
You constantly tell me my beliefs yet I cannot recall stating any of these opinions in any of my previous posts. Why don't you familiarize yourself with what I have actually written before attempting to marginalize me? After all, a squirrel shouldn't be much of a threat to your Macho self.

I wasn't calling you a squirrel, it was a movie reference about distraction.

Why can't middle class people just get along with those who earn more/are worth more? I

Is it just jealousy, or is there more to it?
I'm middle class, and don't even know any 1%ers personally, so how could I "hate" or "loathe" them?

Oh, I see.
Sorry, I don't watch movies. I try to avoid the mass media as much as possible. I feel my IQ dropping by the second every time I turn on the TV. And I always want to scream at the set when some talking head starts spouting inane lies. Although I did like "Cops", back in the day.

Actually thats a fair response, you dont hit the 70% suck til you get to the .01% or so.

Trust me on this. I've met quite a few of them. And 30% of them really are great people. A lot of the others look like nice people til you separate their actions from their words, then....not so much. total sociopaths. I've felt safer surrounded by biker gangs.

It does something to the soul to perpetuate the suffering of millions so that you can have more and more. That 70% of the .01% are the ones who encourage the "it's your fault you're poor" rhetoric. Not one of them would **** on you if you were on fire. They might sell popcorn to the crowd watching, however.

And they are the ones getting free ride form inflation. By free ride I mean they benefit from it when the rest get hurt by it.

Well 5% a year increase in the minimum wage will ding them a tiny bit but...
