Did they step on your back to get where they are?

Didn't most of them work hard to achieve their success?

Why do you despise them so?

Did your mommy tell you that you are special, and only later did you find out you are only special to her?

Many people here will tell yo that rich people did step on your back to get where they are, and that they used government services like roads and bridges in order to succeed, and that they didnt work hard, so they do believe rich people owe them something. What they fail to reconize is that these people use the same services available to everyone else, and its not the richs fault, the poor chose to not take advantage of whats available to them.

Depends on whether you think outsourcing their companies abroad so that they can pay $1 a day to poor asians and not using American labor and paying absolute minimum wage to Americans who cannot even pay their rent with their salaries or NOT employing people full time so they don't have any responsibilty to them or paying less % of tax than the average worker stepping on backs... i know i do.

Why should anyone despise CEO's who destroy companies and banks, destroy the housing market and bring the country to its knees..... and get HUGE bonuses for doing so. The first year of the recession the top 1% captured 93% of the income gains ... wow the rest of us got 7%..... we should be soooo greatful.........lmao

Did your mommy tell you that you are special, and only later did you find out you are only special to her?

What is more powerful than God

What is more evil than the devil

The poor have it

The rich do not need it

If you eat this you will surely die
