I can argue my original estimate of 60 million. Yet, I could have said he created ten, ten thousand, ten million or ten billion new jobs. You would argue against any one of them. But the point is the same. Because you do not understand capitalism, you attack those who succeed in not only creating great wealth, but also doing great deeds. BTW, I've noticed that people who disagree with or don't understand the significance of certain statistics always resort to the "mathematically challenged" reflex. You are such a cliche.

All I did was point out to someone that people rarely amass great wealth from the the fruits of their own labor, it takes other people to be working for you to do that. From that simple, obvious(to me,anyway) concept, I was insulted and attacked by several mental midget right wing nuts. That's it, I will not respond to any more posts on this subject. Have a nice weekend. It's as if you said that people are killed with guns and then where surprised that people who are against gun control attacked you and your arguments, and then you replied about how you had made a simple obvious statement of fact and didn't mean to imply anything else by it. I suppose it would be possible that you didn't mean anything else by it but 1 - You gave the appearance that you did, and 2 - later you indirectly said you did when you admitted that your "simple question" was rhetorical. You wanted to make a point. Some people disagreed with the point. If you are annoyed not by the fact that people argued against your point but by the fact that they insulted you it might be understandable but when you also post with insults I don't think that I will waste much compassion on your hurt feelings.
