Those who work hard, scrimp & save & invest wisely are apparently suckers.

[Philosoraptor]

What suckers we've been, doing it all backward all these years, making honest livings, feeding our kids, putting them through school, struggling, doing without, working hard at two or three jobs, look what all that gets you in the end. We should have all been CEO's instead.

CEO's are the smartest guys in the room. They make billions with a capital B, they laugh at chumps and losers like us, even if their businesses fail, with a capital F, they STILL get gigantic bonuses and benefits, and they NEVER face prosecution, justice if for suckers like us, not them.

1. I'm not. In fact I'm disowning myself from all representatives who vote for this SCAM

of a redistribution of wealth from the middle class tax payer to the upper 1%.

Damn them to hell! :grr:

[lynettebro440]

2. Yes, but if the peasants stop working for them

and they actually have to do something for themselves, we have the upper hand. I always tell my kids, I would rather know how to be poor and learn to be rich then be rich and learn how to be poor. Can you imagine how this will kill the little whining babies when they have to do without. If we take our money and say fuck you, poor people will win. Screw these people, I hope they lose their fucking shirts.

9. Three giant if's.

IF "the peasants stop working for them"
IF "we take our money"
IF "they ever figure that out there goes our way of life!"


hopper: You let one ant stand up to us, then they all might stand up! Those puny little ants outnumber us a hundred to one and if they ever figure that out there goes our way of life! It's not about food, it's about keeping those ants in line. that's why we're going back! Does anybody else wanna stay?

Molt: He's quite the motivational speaker, isn't he?
Hopper: Let's ride

You hope they lose their fucking shirts,

:toast:

[thunder rising]

3. Yep, yep. But it's not greed and corruption, it's doint God's work, being a good WHITE christian.

[seabeyond]

4. i dont care which side it is, the ceo's or the people buying what they cant afford

they both want reward for doing wrong.

yes i am really offended with the bail out. with the top dudes wanting us to give them personal money or they wont play.

[ShortnFiery]

7. And some of those "top dudes" are democrats (Schumer, Dodd and Franks).

We must emphatically push back and say "NO!"

[BraneMatter]

5. I'm afraid...

you're right.

We are just sheep to be fleeced.

That's capitalism for you.

[ShortnFiery]

6. That's *unregulated* capitalism. No competition and Robber Barons pulling all the strings. eom

[lynnertic]

8. yeah, and?
