You are making bad assumptions or just believing what others tell you to try to scare you. Many so-called billiaonaires like Warren Buffett, Mark Zuckerberg, George Soros, the Hollywood elite, etc. are big Obama supporters. In fact, the Top 3 richest people Bill Gates, Warren Buffett & Larry Ellison are all Democrats. Together, they are worth $126 Billion Dollars. An analysis of the Top 20 Richest People in America (from Forbes Top 100) reveals that a full 60% are actually Democrats. Furthermore, if you look at it from a “family” point of view and not as indivisuals, thereby eliminating duplication caused by people from the same family being included in that Top 20 list (Wal-Mart & Koch) that ratio widens even further to: 25% Republican / 75% Democrat. The evil rich are dominated by the Democratic Party!!! You've been conned Koan. newamericangazette.com

If you think billionaires and corporations care about the masses you are wrong. If you think governments care about the masses you are wrong... "Government has become ungovernable; that is, it cannot leave off governing. Law has become lawless; that is, it cannot see where laws should stop. The chief feature of our time is the meekness of the mob and the madness of the government. No society can survive the socialist fallacy that there is an absolutely unlimited number of inspired officials and an absolutely unlimited amount of money to pay them. Eugenics asserts that all men must be so stupid that they cannot manage their own affairs; and also so clever that they can manage each other's. Without education, we are in a horrible and deadly danger of taking educated people seriously. There are two ways to get enough. One is to continue to accumulate more and more. The other is to desire less. If you argue with a madman, it is extremely probable that you will get the worst of it...The madman is not the man who has lost his reason. The madman is the man who has lost everything except his reason. Reason is itself a matter of faith. It is an act of faith to assert that our thoughts have any relation to reality at all. For children are innocent and love justice, while most of us are wicked and naturally prefer mercy." G.K. Chesterton
