That is the problem.

People who have nothing? How do you know what I have and don't? You do not.

I answered the questions above.

My thoughts on corruption is DC are VERY biblical based.

Next?

I can tell you your views on this issue are far from right wing. Like the other poster just said how would you fix the system?

How many millionaire or billionaire's do you know? One that I know came here on a boat with nothing and made his fortune. I guess we should take it from him. Another here in charlotte was dirt poor as a boy but made something of himself starting 2 businesses. I guess he didnt earn it either.

I shudder anytime somebody with no money starts talking about the haves and how they have too much money. How much is too much? At what point shouldn't they be allowed to have anymore?

Perhaps the same way you "know" that those who have money today either inherited it or were bought off.

Sorry for sounding snarky; I couldn't pass it up though. ;-)

You still haven't answered the specific questions that I asked you previously when you made that statement.

But to your point: yet another stereotyping; you have read up on the backgrounds of everyone "with money?"

I think I can sum up your stance in a few words: You dislike the rich and don't think they should have much of their money because you don't think they deserve it. That money should instead go to the government to be given to those who don't have money.

Is that about right?

A Republican Conservative, an oxymoron that is only viable in regards to social issues. Every repubilican president I can remember is a spend-a-holic, even Reagan. Not on social programs but on "things" that matter to their constiuents or deemed "important" to them. Sure, the system is broken but labeling people as liberals and conservatives in an attempt to justify incompetence on one side or the other just makes it worse.

If by calling yourself a "conservative" makes one rest easier at night thinking WE aren't the problem, then go for it. The finanical issues were generated by both parties as a result of slick opportunist. I don't think anyone has a clue as to how to really fix it. A lot of people inherit wealth, it's a close knit community, but realistically the policies are written by wealthy people so not much is gonna change there. Go ahead with the OWS stuff, it's kinda cute...at least thats the way it looks from the ivory tower.

No that is not right and yes I DID answer your questions. Please scroll up and read them over and over, they will not change just because you do not like the answer and feel the need to ask again. Seriously.

No one ever said there was such a thing as too much, that is the point you are missing. Now listen, this will give you some time to go do some research because I have to go do some cooking. There are some good links here in this thread.

Humor me because I haven't seen your response to my questions from last night. If they are there could you at least prove me wrong by copying and pasting?

And if I am not right about your stance, could you please just give it to us in a sentence without telling us to find it in this thread somewhere? That's what I mean about wiggling out of a question. I can't like your response if I don't even know what the responses are.

Why so obtuse?

For starters, this question: "Again - if their money was not obtaining illegally then what right do we have to demand they hand it over?"

Your repetition is getting ridiculous. If you are interested go back through the thread, I don't have anything to prove to you and if you wanted to know so bad, go hunt out the posts instead of attempting to create diversions here.

No one is ducking and diving from you, get over yourself and what you deem such delving questions that have been answered, time and again. If you want to continue this discussion do it through dm for the sake of the thread.
