I don't have Bill Gates' intellect (his knowledge of computers and programing). That isn't my "thing." But why does that make Bill Gates "evil?"

I have my own things I like to do. I'm happy.

I never said he was (though plenty of cons do think so, because he has committed the unforgivable sin of being both rich and liberal). But if we accept the premise that poor people deserve their fate, which is the logical corollary to your belief that rich people deserve theirs, then a person's worth as a human being must in some way be defined by their ability to accumulate and retain wealth.

So if your net worth is $1 million, you might think you're 10 times as worthy as someone who has a mere $100K, but that also means that Bill Gates is worth 70,000 of you.

Right?

Can you give some specific examples of a billionaire farmer so that we all might learn?

I posted the link to the video on my Facebook page. Time to alert conservatives everywhere. Almost all of my FB friends are conservative "Tea Party types" (they identify with the Tea Party even if they are not directly involved in it in some way — but some are).

Freedom loving Americans everywhere need to learn who these people are, hear thes radical leftist statementst they are making, and take action against them.

This woman, and people like her, are a threat to our Liberty. They are the enemy of freedom. They are enemies of America.
When Seattle sneezes the rest of Washington State catches a cold. What most people don't know unless they have lived in Washington the whole state depends on three counties that vote Democrat. Most of the other 36 counties vote Republican and are on the dole. In Washington when you see someone taking a handout its more than likely a Republican. That includes EIC, School Lunches, Snap, Medicaid, etc. In Washington when you see a hand out you see a Republican voter.

Maxine is black and she appears to be white so my guess would be no!

I think we all already knew this, but she is a part of a larger movement. History shows that movements can and have acquired the power to do things like this.

Your statement makes no sense. It defies logic. Since it is the Democrat Party that has put more people "on the dole" in this country than at any time in our history with the election of Obama, and thereby increasing Democrat voters (which has been the goal of these programs), why would Washington State be any different?

Your hatred for Republicans is causing you to make nonsensical accusations.
