Alternatively, they could give an extra 3.6%. Anyway, I gotta admit, this is a pretty good troll, troll.
I'm sorry you think pointing out the hypocrisy of rich people denigrating people for being rich is trolling, but to each his own.
Yeah, but what if you are somebody who's attracted to vice cops with badges, and you lure them by pretending to be some pervert flirting with 14 year old girls?
Given that the last guy who got busted for this in my old town insisted that he was merely going to lecture the girl on the stupidity of meeting with strangers you know only through the internet, I won't be surprised if someone tries this.
Wait now. You just said Obama denigrated the rich for being rich. When, where? His standard line is rich people like you and me can afford to pay a bit more to help out a country that is struggling. Denigrating that is not.
WTF? If I was rich, I wouldn't be getting up at 5:00 a.m. and busting my ass until dark. That said, I'm not living in a cardboard box and eating cat food either.
He only says that to other rich people, like Letterman last night. That is his line, wealthy people like us can afford to help the country. You might disagree from a policy perspective but it's not denigrating.
Matt Taibbi believes that rich ppl like Mitt have to scapegoat the poor to make them feel better about how much they've rigged the game to steal from everyone else: "It's all based upon this idea that 'poor people deserve to be poor because they don't work hard enough and I deserve the money that I make because I do work hard,'" Taibbi said. "It's just a pervasive belief ... the psychological underpinning of almost everything they do. If they didn't have this way to excuse their dismissal of the poor, then they wouldn't be able to do a lot of the things that they do." He noted that "everybody pays taxes in one form or another, whether sales tax or payroll tax," and that income taxes comprise a small percentage of Romney's own recent taxes. Taibbi added that Romney, who comes from a privileged background, disregarded another "tax" that many poor people have to pay: "a kind of qualitative tax which nobody talks about -- this sucky hard work tax." "If you're low-income enough to not be paying income tax, you're doing a sh#tty job that nobody else wants to do in this country," Taibbi said. "You're cleaning toilets. You're driving buses at the night shift. You're bussing tables. You're doing all these things that Mitt Romney is never going to do."
Libbie posters on here spent more time on here than they do for work. Yet, they want their handouts from the rich people. Maybe if they spend more time working they could possibly make more money themselves. Gee, what a novel concept. Lazy idiots.
