Yah, the working people in this country would be so much better off if we just let the rich own more of everything.

I'm a very wealthy guy - inherited most of my money - so naturally I'm a Republican. That's because the core concern of the powers behind my party has always been 'more money for me' - me, of course, meaning 'the mega rich'. Now we realize that the lower classes aren't going to get all pumped up to vote Republican if we come out and tell them we don't give a sh*t about anybody but the rich; so we keep the political spot-light on gay marriage, abortion, the Bible and that cute little Baby Jesus, freedom, guns, patriotism, and the uppity coloreds - all the things we've hoodwinked small-town America into believing are central to its well being.

Obviously, we don't give a rat's ass about any of these issues. My homes and townhouses are guarded and my kids go to exclusive prep schools where brain-dead nonsense like creationism is definitely not on the curriculum. But the end justifies the means, and if dumbing down the message is what it takes to get Joe Sixpack to vote the very candidates into office who work tirelessly to make it increasingly difficult for the average guy to have a decent life, so be it. (thumbs up smiley)

I mean, these people are hopeless anyway; remember this is a country where half the population thinks Jesus is coming back sometime in the next 50 years to smite the sinners and carry the righteous white folk off to heaven. The poor should consider themselves lucky to get the trickle-down slops we toss their way. Isn't the fact they're not rich proof that they're inferior?

So while our hired-guns in Congress work to lower income taxes for the top tenth of a percent of Americans who already own everything, strive to do away with odious inheritance taxes, and fight raising the minimum wage for the coloreds and white trash - we need guys like Glenn and Rush to blow smoke in the eyes of the dumb and gullible so that John Q doesn't catch on that he's being butt-f****d by the very people he votes for.

Thank Jesus I'm a billionaire!

Uh-huh, because non-white folk have no religious affiliation whatsoever. Hey, did you know Proposition 8 passed in California thanks to Latinos?


80% of the millionaires in this country are first-generation rich. The fact is that there is NO magic ceiling preventing virtually anyone from "making it"... it is simply a matter of most people being incapable of doing it.

That 80% stat is highly skewed due to real estate impacts, rapid population growth in the 20th century, and most importantly - inflation. If I sold my house and liquidated all of my assets I would probably be a millionaire too. It really isn't that much money.
