Why do we demonize the rich?

Nyet, comradesky.

And you'd do well to remember that Bill Gates is a liberal atheist, and that he's given more money to charity than a thousand you's and a thousand of everyone you've ever known combined.

A Federal Republic is also a lot different economically than a Democracy. You should know this.

I should? Oh...

They brought in more tax revenues than with a graduated. That's good enough for me.

Ok, so what you said before is completely untrue then. You said everyone rich had to hurt everyone else to get there. So, you're wrong by your own admission.

Because f*** 'em, that's why.

There is no way to become rich in the US without doing harm to the country and its citizens anymore. Or if not this country and its citizens, some other country and its citizens. You know, the way Nike uses Asian children for slave labor. I know YOU don't care about that, but some of us do.

They raised themselves up by biting and clawing their way to the top, therefore the state has the right, duty and obligation to pull them back down by taxing their brains out. Either that, or they inherited it, like your boy Bush. Every spoiled little rich kid deserves a nice, cold dose of reality, preferably administered rectally.

And we have a winner! Thanks for making my point.
