    Don't forget to pucker up. This is America and you think that you're a peasant dependant on the nobles for your welfare. :dis:

    Wrong, it never did work that way, see the chart below. Capitalist economies are driven by a prosperous middle class, not a tiny extremely rich elite, who only grow richer, they don't rain money on those below.

    I can be inflamatory too. Watch.

    You are a communist who looks to the big daddy government for your welfare.

    See we can both be childish. Let's rise above it.

    Your rich man envy is showing again. Why can't you be happy with your lot in life and quit showing such animosity toward those who have been more successful than you? No wonder you love Obama so much. You can see a chance at getting your paws on other peoples' money.:dis:

    What you don't get is just because the rich have does not mean the middle class have not. The economy is large enough to have a super rich elite and a middle class. And if you read my entire post you would have noticed that I said tax cuts aimed specifically at any particular class are not as good as tax cuts across the board.

    liberal economic policies are founded on resentment.

    Quit singing that tired old song. The ones envying the rich are the ones that favor policies that benefit the rich over themselves. The rich have you fooled into thinking that you have something in common with them instead of with the huge middle class that America was built upon.

    I'm delighted with my lot in life and been successful in both career and business. I have all the money I need to live the lifestyle of my choosing. I'll die with 7 figures in the bank and not a dollar of debt . . . just like you. I have no animosity towards the super rich, I'm just not going to kiss their asses when they cry crocodile tears over lost riches as they get richer.

    I envy nobody nothing except maybe the clubhouse you have in your backyard . . . but I ain't done yet. I may have to move to the bayou to find the space for it.
