They are not there to protect you and me, they are there to protect the aristocracy, even though we pay for it.
Not only that, the FBI monitors the internet and flags certain phrases, some of which you posted above, to be aware of possible insurrectionists.

Be careful!

At this point they know its all talk and dont bother. Ruby ridge incidents cost the department alot of money and smear alot of peoples reputations.

I also try not to worry to much about the concerns of this life because our lives are like a vapor in the wind, I have an amazing wife and make enough to enjoy life. Try to keep my mind on working out my own salvation, sometimes its tough not to get mired down in the thorn bushes though, just like with this discussion lol. There is so much evil in this nation its not even funny.

The rich keep everythign like this because it makes entry for the little guy impossible even if you have an awesome idea and enoung money saved for the tools and parts to make your wigit, the likely hood of you comming up with 100's of thousand to cut all the red tape is unlikely, just how the rich want it.
That's not true. With the exception of one $250 lawyer visit for a review of a contract (which was a waste anyways), I started 4 businesses without comptrolers, tax people, and lawyers. I also started with a negative net worth with no financial help from the outside for the first business.

You're just creating barriers for yourself thinking like that.

My suggestion, take an introductory business class at a decent school.

And most people who don't have tons of it are lazy and don't work hard for it.

Seriously, you can't believe either of those. We live in a country where anyone who wants money can make money, given you put the right type of effort into it.

Don't worry. Apparently god is going to punish all of the rich people for stealing.

Plenty of people make that much and work a pretty normal 40 hour work week.

Until people start misusing your product and get hurt. If I were to develope a product I would just make it myself and sell it on craigslist, thats pretty low over head and none of it is taxable.

CEO-to-worker pay imbalance grows

This is from 2005, but you can see a trend.

Not everyone who is rich nessicarily steals just a vast majority. Stealing is probalby not the proper term, more like unethical behavior, rich people are generally smart and create very convoluded ways to make money and there is usually a thread of dishonesty in there somewhere that was a catalyst to them getting their start.

If your just going to take one liner cheap shots and not really discuss the issue I can gladly modify my ignore list.
