Is it OK for progressives/liberals to advocate trashing the Constitution?

What if extra-constistutional action serves the greater good? Is it OK then?

From the same group who claims the right to an abortion, homo marriage, the right to free healthcare, etc.... can be found.

An entirely academic question, given the DUer penchant for futile keyboarding vice IRL action.

That's in response to this thread.

Let's just take everything from the rich

The Wealthiest 1% Should Immediately Have ALL Of Their Assets Seized   Updated at 1:16 AM

The reality is that the Washington Post and the elite clique for which it is a mouth piece have badly failed us and our children. The housing bubble was easily recognizable. The economic disaster that we are now facing could have been easily avoided if the Washington Post and its elite friends (e.g. Alan Greenspan, Robert Rubin, and Henry Paulson) were not too incompetent or corrupt to see the evidence of problems everywhere. Needless to say, those of us who did try to issue warnings were ignored by this elite crew.

<snip>

The point is that the Post and it crew of cronies have badly failed the world in a large number of ways and continue to do so. The Post and Hoagland's efforts to attribute the blame to the rest of us for the trouble caused by the greed and incompetence of their elite clique deserve nothing but contempt and ridicule.

4. Kick and rec.
   
Will Obama be our hero and seize the assets of the top 1%?

We are going to find ourselves in desperate need of big help real soon after the thieves get done with us.

Are we going to be left in the cold?

We've been thoroughly robbed.

22. Because we all know that the top 1%
   
are all Pugs...errr...nevermind...

BTW anyone know what percentage of the population the top 1% employ?

It is always fun to blame the other guy for all the bad things, how many dems were/are misusing credit, buying homes they couldn't possibly afford, speculating on the housing market, etc. I suspect a lot. At the same time * has been in office, Dems have controlled no small amount of Washington power. The sooner we all get over ourselves and look at these problems objectively, the sooner real solutions will arise...seizing wealth from anyone (not implicitly involved in actual criminal activity) will not fix anything...just another snake oil scheme.

Lousy freeper troll.

23. It's early yet, and the competition is fierce, but this could be the stupidest post of the day...

29. I love how you don't mind taking a shit all over the Constitution as
   
long as YOU are the one taking the dump.

I guess that all depends on whose definition of "the greater good" is being used. Also Orwells Ghost, if the housing bubble was so easy to recognize then that puts the blame for foreclosers on the home buyers who didn't recognize it and not the media for not reporting it.

44. "Not a huge amount, but I would have hated to have paid taxes on it."
   
but it wasn't "your" money. anything you get from an inheritance- even after taxes, is still "found money".

that being said, i'd rather see an estate tax with an exemption on the first 1 or 2 million dollars in an estate.

Oh FFS! Can someone just shoot this sumbitch before it pollutes the gene pool?
