Well, the Obama economy does favor the 1%.

I wonder if he had a cell phone and an iPad, if yes, yep he's a 99%er. That always cracked me up, they claim to hate capitalism but loved all the gadgets.

Of course. Thought you were being a bit nit picky with your response to my initial post. Any of the signs offered by you or I vote the same way. That is and was the central point to my initial comment.

Man who shot himself dead on steps of Capitol was carrying 'Tax the 1%' sign | Daily Mail Online
Such a narcissist the man who shot himself.... why didn't he take some pills. Less cleaning up and it is very sad that others even have to deal with the clean up. This man who claimed to be one of 99% didn't even have the courtesy and heart to think about other people.

Selfish and greedy till the end.

The man clearly was not against the second amendment since he seems to love guns as he chose that as the last thing to use to end his life ....so he was most likely a hypocrite as well.

The man also soiled the day for many others which makes him even more selfish but others will probably say I have no heart and I mean by saying these things but I'm just saying it as I feel.

If he wanted to make a point he would start a debate and try to do things differently and get a job and worked himself up the ladder as not many wealthy people have gotten it all for free... and if they got it all for free then they still need to find a way to keep it.

Or at least illustrates the vile filth who frequent a forum such as this (and are endorsed by its management)

"In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes."

Of course, mental illness is much more common among liberals, so such an occurrence makes perfect sense.

One wonders whether liberalism is appealing to the mentally ill, or whether liberalism made them ill? It is a classic "chicken or the egg" question.
