As I see it, it looks to me like there's been a multi-century class war going on in this world, and it doesn't seem like we're the ones who started it.

Maybe we should put it to an end, once and for all? I think stealing from the poor/middle class is an awful class war, and it should have stopped a long time ago.

Anyone else?

When are you going to realize that "stealing" from the "poor" is a contradiction in terms ?

1. Sure and maybe we could stop demonizing the rich while we are at it.

Not likely to happen.

61. And don't forget! Those on welfare are planning to rise up and kill the "rich" plumbers
   
who make $100,000 a year and the "rich" doctors who make $200K. Working class means underclass. Rich means anyone who is capable of affording a house. We're talking about the destruction of all "productive" people here!

We couldn't possible be more interested in taking down Halliburton, Madoff, Wall Street, Union Busters, Hedge Funds. All those PRODUCTIVE members of society! :crazy:

How many people work for those "entities" you mention, never mind that some of them are not what you think they are.

7. Nope. I fully intend to demonize those who exploit others for their own gain.

Those who get rich by sucking out the value of what others have labored to create deserve all the demonization they can get. They are parasites.

I agree, but we are probably not thinking about the same group of people.

15. No, and that's not what I said in my OP.

I think individuals who are genuinely productive and have managed to save aside money, or work in really high productivity areas like intellectual property based professions are rich through beneficial reasons are OK for us. Most people like music, books, magazines, TV, radio, and the countless other areas of intellectual property that can provide wealth, as they cater to so many people.

On the other hand, people who set up systems of taxing other people's labor, in return providing nothing but economic insecurity and bad decisions are not deserved of respect. They are parasites.

19. Yes, very true, but there's only so many people who can come into contact...

with a clean street. On the other hand, one musician or thinker can make music that millions of people will love, **** to, and get ****ed because they own it. Street sweepers can't get you laid, now can they? "OMG! This street is so clean, let's do it!"

Actors make good movies to **** to as well, and you can always buy it to actually watch when someone special isn't around.

Funny exchange.

Dave tries to interject some sanity, but is shot down in flames when pckelly reveals the core of his reasoning and what he places the most value on.

Uh huh,  Have you seen the price of CDs, DVDs, movie ticket prices, book prices lately?  They are all making their money off of the poor.

OK. I think those who set up systems to tax the labor of others are parasites too. LOL. Thank you PC KYJelly

The argument that people who hire others to work for them are somehow exploiting them has got to be one of the weakest arguments the libs have ever tried.  They really need to drop kick anyone who even tries to bring it up before they make all of them look even more foolish than they are.

Hmmm...  Did I exploit the guy that I paid almost $200 to fix my dishwasher last week?

I feel soooo guilty now.




















NOT!

OMG, I think I've exploited myself.  I've fixed my own plumbing, (put in a water heater), fixed my furnace, (replaced the blower motor ), and I never paid myself.

I'm sure that there is probably some goverment grant you can apply for to cover that.

Why exploit yourself when you can exploit the tax payers?

That should be the end of an argument. Someone makes a statement like that, the discussion is over

I employ people and I will not apologize for it.... I pay them well and they do a good job of supporting thier family, unlike some of the whiney little bastards at the dump...quit crying in your beer,quit making excuses for your failures and git yer ass to work.....

That's because it's so archaic.  This arguement dates back to the industrial revolution.  We've come so far since those long ago days, in terms of workplace safety, countless regulations, and general workplace culture in the U.S.  The arguement is not hip, chic, and edgy as they think it is.

I have un-exploited two people since California passed their new budget.  I plan on un-exploiting the other five by summer.

I'm pretty sure they don't like being un-exploited.

H5! LOL!

I work part-time at the HD. You can no longer get a permanent position with them. They are hiring in 90 increments. You work for 90 days then you're laid off! This way they do not have the expense of the big O's mandatory health care that's coming down the pike.

Since our sales have dropped so much in this outstanding Obamawannabe economy, they're just trying to cover their ass!
