Your post puts forward a stupidly primitive marxist view of the world. There are rich people (big fat wearing top hats and carrying bags of money) and poor people (suffering proles - simple-minded but noble) and the rich people are rich because they exploit the poor who rightfully envy and resent the villainous rich. The rich are bad people who should be grateful the righteous poor don't kill them and steal their wealth. And of course, the "rich people" who control everything have set up a system to give the "poor people" just barely enough meager resources to keep them working the mines/sweatshops and prevent them from rebelling.

First of all, kumquat, Marx was a genius. There will be a time when Man has evolved enough to a point where his vision of a gov't/an economic system will make sense. We're not there now and so his vision has never been truly implemented except on a limited scale. And no, the old Soviet Union was NOT an example. Secondly, capitalism will ultimately fail because its too predicated on greed. Greed is a dangerous emotion[?] in a world short on commodities and long on people. Thirdly, most rich inherited their wealth, and frequently, they are disgusting people with few values. I do not respect nor adore them as you do.

You believe you're an enlightened one who sees through the matrix and have appointed yourself a spokesman for the poor: "I suggest your rich folk keep their mouth shuts and pay their taxes with a smile". Or else. "If they start getting pushy, there will be consequences." Gonna slit some pig's throats if the moneybags folks don't pay their taxes with an uncomfortable smile, are you, comrade?

On the contrary, the rich in this country need to wisen up. They have a good thing going but they are starting to push the envelope. I am not so enlightened.........for an example, I couldn't handle living under a communistic system......but I am smart enough to know that things are getting to a tipping point.

If you'd finished with something like Viva la Revolucion?, it would have been fitting. Or maybe, Power to the People or Off the Pigs. You're the kind who buy the Che posters. I'll bet you have one somewhere don't you?

Bla, bla, bla........can you do not better that Fox News talking points?

The only good thing here is that you display for all to see the childish marxist stereotypes that clutter liberal minds.

The bad things are that you've been horribly mis-educated to hold bad ideas. Your post is a terrible indictment of our educational system. Worse, you yourself are a teacher and may well pass on your false idea of the world to impressionable young people.

Far too many miseducated liberals are drawn to the education field where they can pass on their miseducation to new generations of young unprotected minds. Perhaps its because they aren't fit for much else.

A mind is a terrible thing to waste, tejek. Please educate yourself. Thomas Sowell has written some good stuff on basic economics - Applied Economics, Economic Facts and Fallacies, Marxism, A Conflict of Visions, The Vision of the Annointed.


In response to all the absurdities you claim in the above 4 paragraphs, all that I can say is that I was not stupid enough or uninformed enough or misguided enough to have voted for the worst president in the history of the US.......TWICE. Your time has come and gone.....and you fucked it up badly. Deal with it!
