I'm sorry if I don't always play well the part of a rich man just becuase I worked myself into millionare status.
Gee, TP, I earned my money too. Years and years of work. And we are about as far apart politically as it gets in this country.
But I'm going to tell you another fact I'm sure will surprise you: That's true of almost all the people you love to hate on SI. They got their wad the hard way.
Maybe that's why their so intent om protecting it from the government.

i just want to remind everyone, we get the scale of government that we pay for.
No, TP, wrong again. Thank God we don't get all the government we pay for.

TP, There is nothing you could, possibly, have that I could be jealous of. I am quite comfortable but do not have the egotism to proclaim to the world how much money, in millions or whatever, that I may have. I can say that it was made the old fashioned way. I worked for it, and did not benefit from a market boom, not caused by Clinton, but be the technology surge. If you had really worked for your money, you would not be so anxious to support taxation. If you were truly rich, then there is no reason for you to collect all the subsidies you do, except for the fact that you are greedy by nature.
