1. What can you say, man, you have to feel that the classes under the rich have to be

fed up to their gills with this kind of crap, "unsung heroes", monument for their charity to the rest of us. For fucks sake, the guy is nuts.

If he wants to make heroes out of them, then let them go to the wars they and the republicans start.

2. I'm trying to imagine a country where the rich would even exist

without the rest of us schmucks.

3. If these rich people would pay a decent wage...

instead of getting fatter, then people would be less likely to sit
on their ass and wait for a check, but as long as unemployment pays more
why should anybody be a slave to big business.

6. This guy is just lying about what the rich pay

When misinformed people or manipulators like Goldberg want to defend the rich, they use the tax rate, not the effective tax rates after all the breaks and write-off. http://www.xomba.com/study_shows_most_us_corporations_pay_zero_tax

The effective tax rates leaves some companies paying nothing. It is the rest of us that pay for the roads, electricity, police and other infrastructure to keep the rich in high cotton.

Excerpt from the Benjamin Hoff translation of the Tao Te Ching, Tao Te Ching: The Way of Life

When deceit begins,
Honesty is discovered.
When weakness develops,
Strength is recognized.
When arrogance increases,
Respect is appreciated.
When cruelty becomes common,
Kindness is admired.
When treachery is everywhere,
Loyalty is rewarded.

A nation of heroes
Is a nation in trouble.

7. Let's worship the rich. Not!

The way I look at it, the rich owe the rest of us a great deal of gratitude. We do the work that makes them rich.

8. Bernie Goldberg - Ignorant Twit

Nobody listens to that idiot.

9. Awesome, Cenk! But really, the rich ARE merciful.

Wasn't a rich woman who said, "Let them eat cake"?

10. Are Fox viewers mad yet?

I know they aren't too bright, but when they can't find a job, and are collecting unemployment, hoping at the last minute for the extension (from the dems, no less) - are they nodding in unison with this ass? When they hear about the ear marks put in by the Republicans that were against ear marks, are they actually okay with it? When are they going to see the GOP for what it is? When is REAL life going to filter in and FOX "news" put into question?

And, YES - we've been saying it for some time now, that Jesus would be a liberal democrat!!! That's the only thing this jerk got right.
