8. "Why should we punish their success?"
Mon Dec 16, 2013, 01:05 PM

I'd simply turn this one on its head: "You're absolutely right! Hard working successful job creators shouldn't pay for those lazy workers who get by with practically no work at all... so I say, fire all those lazy good for nothing CEOs and executives! Make them get an actual college degree and a job where they must do actual work!"

Does one of two things:
1. Sends conservatives into sputtering fits or
2. Brings out that dull light of stupidity in their eyes as they try to figure out what you just said.

Either way, it makes my day a little better.
