Correct, so they can buy votes and maintain power.

Weird....it could also be that some of us understand economics, and see a problem with all the wealth all at the top....that it will damage our society and economy.

Or we see how a nation that could be great, instead has homeless and poor in ever larger numbers?

Humans haven't come up with a viable alternative to taxation....

It isn't stealing, as much as the "ignorant right" likes to make that case. You can always walk out that door....

I am not sure how much of "your wealth" is held by the posters on this board.

Just for the record, I don't want pieces of a trailer or a dial-up modem.

The conservatives were the cops and national guardsmen keeping the peace, as well as the business owners and folks who cleaned up in the aftermath. Hope that helps.

How do you know they were conservatives?

Everybody has the same rights as anyone else.

You do not have the right to my money just because I have more than someone else.
