This isn't an “on the other hand “ debate now, you made an absurd comment and now you are trying to change the topic.

No, my comment was not absurd. Once again, if I was fortunate enough to be a millionaire, I wouldn't mind paying higher taxes, if I was still a millionaire after paying them.

Absolutely absurd. You aren't a millionaire you have no business making the claim.

But why do you care about the rich if the rich are fine with this empty rhetoric "class warfare"? They pay the GOP politicians and Wall Street democrats in order for them to say that while engaging in class warfare against the working class by flooding the political system with their money, weakening anti-trust legislation, destroying labor unions, eroding the minimum wage, buying and owning all the major news organizations so they have near total control over what people see, hear and read.

They're winning and the 99% are losing. Thats where the focus should be, and if we dont have the guts to fight to strengthen labor unions and get big money out of politics, nothing will change.
