Huh? Money buys you attorneys and the power to do things that you could not do as a poor man. The poor rarely have the means to fight back.

The poor normally don't have to fight back against attorneys. They prefer to sue people with money.

Name a very rich person that has gotten their by directly stealing from the poor. About the only way that I can think of that the rich get that way (or get much richer) by stealing from the poor is indirectly through the government, for example any type of price supports or import barrier on good that poor people consume hurts the poor, thus government supported milk compacts and barriers to textiles benefit rich agribusiness and help textile companies, at the expense of the poor. But while such subsidies and barriers are too common they are the exception not the rule. Most wealthy people didn't rely on them to become wealthy.

Look, dude, I don't know your background but I went to school with the sons of the Fortune 500......they were in my frat. and on campus. I know how they think and what they think of the poor.

Now you may have learned your history at a GOP sponsored private school but the reality is this country has a rich tradition of the rich ripping off the poor and the middle classes......our fables of the poor pulling themselves up by their bootstraps to the contrary. That's why there are so many laws in place to protect the lower classes or did you think it was another conspiracy on the part of the poor?

You want to make it up as you go along, then go peddle your version of American history to Jozef and DR. They went to the same private school as you and play the same way.

And THERE is global warming and the world fisheries are being depleted. And all your cool logic can't make it otherwise. And the GOP be damned!
