Billionaires circle the wagons

[packman]

Billionaire Sam Zell (barf) says everyone except the 1% are just lazy. "The 1% just work harder," he observes. Well, I guess that is true, the majority of us don't know how to play the right type of game where the rules are cheating, fraud, and fleecing.

1. Somebody should tell Sam that there are only so many serfs to go around and

that if everyone went about raping and pillaging the masses the whole thing would collapse for his class.

2. The 1 percent work harder = Let them eat cake.

5. I can't believe myself....

... most murderers, rapists, and other heinous criminals harm a few victims.

Life in imprisonment is OK for them.

Those Wall Street assholes.... they killed (at least) thousands, and destroyed - or nearly destroyed - the economy of this country and maybe the world economy.

I think they are special cases.

6. My father has worked hard all his life. Back-breaking work to provide for us.

Was always punctual and took more crap than he should with the attitude that if he didn't do it they'd find someone that would.

He's 55 and is still making less than $40,000 a year.

7. My mother worked for 25 years as a nursing assistant in a

county home for the elderly. Back breaking work that families no longer do for their own kin any longer. When she died, she was only making $.10 above minimum wage and that represented $.25/hr above what she was making when she first started. A penny raise for each year of work.
