    "You've got to be pretty smart to be a billionare - it figures they would vote for Bush."

    I remember when I heard about this site during the election thinking that and that it doesn't sound so bad for Bush.

    Ah well, these democrats will never learn.

    I LOVE YOUR QUOTE IN YOUR SIG.

    The pictures on that site are the funniest thing, "Blood for Oil" and "Reelect Karl Rove" I love satire.

    Thomas Jefferson is my favorite founding father and favorite President. Thomas Jefferson was a strict constructionist and I love that and he was all for States Rights.

    i have seen these guys a couple times. once in union square in new york, and once outside the world trade center cite. they are fun to watch. they have the champagne glasses and tuxedos. they look like the guy from monopoly. i like them because i like billionaires and bush too. i am not being facetious and making a stupid point, so i guess we disagree there.

    Those Walton kids sure were smart when they picked old Sam to be their daddy.

    They aren't Billionares either... multi millionares maybe, but not billionares.
    You can inherit millions, but nobody becomes an inherited billionare anymore. Taxes take care of that. Also, you don't have to be smart to inherit money - but you have to be smart to make more money and not waste it all.

    Hmmm... maybe they are billionares by now, but I didn't think so. They are incredibly wealthy though. But they didn't inherit billiones, that I am pretty sure of.

    And besides all of this, if its good for the rich that doesn't mean its bad for the poor - thats where ignorant people go wrong. Capitalism works! Just because Bush endorses it instead of giving everything to people who don't work for it doesn't mean he's a bad person.

    I disagree. Although I have no first hand knowledge, I think I remember reading where they each inherited about 5 billion a piece.
