re: #660 MandyManners

Why, I would bet the good dr. would bitch that I have a crew using scaffolds to wash my windows and walls this week. Maybe I should do it myself so as to not insult these folks by giving them money for honest jobs.

Oh, the humanity.

How about you go back and read my entire post? Then maybe try and use your critical thinking skills and not jump to rash conclusions. Stop putting words in my mouth.

Nowhere did I say that it is “bad” that the lower class has jobs. In fact I acknowledge the opposite, that it’s a GOOD THING. It’s a good thing for the lower class AND for the upper class. The lower class gets jobs and income, and the upper class gets extremely rich. And when I say upper class I don’t mean $200k upper class. I mean $200m upper class.

The point I am repeatedly trying to make is that the wealthiest Americans are the largest beneficiaries of the current government system we have. They enjoy a stable political system and functioning economy, and have benefited immensely from it. To the tune of millions upon millions of dollars. So what is the problem with paying taxes to ensure that this system continues to function and keep them extremely rich?
