Most wealthy people are stuck up assholes who couldn't care less about us. Money corrupts, the more you have, the greedier you get. We need the government to put a leash on these people so we can keep things in order from escalating out of control to a third world country like what has proven to happen all over the world and through history. If you compare government or union to non-union jobs, you will find the union ones have better pay, better rights for their workers, and better quality work to non-union industries in most cases. Then perhaps we wouldn't mind paying higher prices if it means we have higher salaries and the workers are happier because they have more rights, better pay, and the product is better quality. You don't realize how sick people are. We would still probably be having people work for slave labor if it wasn't for unions. The governemnt system (run under democrats) is looking out for people more then private businesses.
Wow. Some how you manage to say money corrupts, yet you want extremely wealthy people like Hilary Clinton, Barak Obama, Al Gore, John Kerry, etc., to regulate us from other extremely wealthy people. Interesting...
As far as realizing how sick people are, Ferris is perhaps one of the few people on these boards who realizes how truely sick people can be, but that has nothing to do with this conversation.
"The government system (run under democrats) is looking out for more than private businessess." Because only the government can protect us from ourselves and the evil corruption that comes from honestly earned money. Big brother is looking out for you, just stop thinking and trust his every word. He truely cares about you. When I see the Clintons or some other rich dems donate every last bit of their assets to helping starving children around the world and poor single mothers, keeping only enough for themselves to live a comfortable middle class lifestyle, then I might start believeing all that crap.
I am not rich, far from it. But I don't sink to the level of hating rich people because they have more than me. That is very childish. Why such hatred for the wealthy? There are many wealthy people who do very good things in the world. I think it is quite foolish to go around saying all rich people are stuck up assholes.
