HawkeyeX: let's have fatcat prison here

[Ralph Wiggum]

In a fruitless attempt to make this year's Top DUmmy of 2010, HawkeyeX has been posting a lot of stupid lately.  Here's one more:

We used to have debtor's prison - let's have fatcat prison here

and make them do hard labor.

For those who DO NOT pay their share in taxes and have profits offshore, needs to spend time there, doing nothing but hard labor, rotten food, rotten sleeping arrangements. Idea - let's convert Gitmo to Fatcat Prison and send the greedheads there.

Not my response, but it's somewhat close:

3. Interesting concept.

Now all you have to do is come up with some sort of reasonable definition of "fatcat" and "fair share." Good luck with that. No one has succeeded in coming up with a definition of either that satisfies anyone for a long, long time.

By the way, be prepared to send a whole lot of liberals and Democrats to this new prison of yours. John Kerry, Barbara Boxer, George Soros, the entire Kennedy family, Congressman Rockefeller, Bill and Melinda Gates, the entire Baldwin family, Sean Penn, Tim Robbins, Keith Olbermann, Dianne Feinstein, Alan Grayson, the Dixie Chicks, and Barack Obama will all be subject to being imprisoned under your scheme. All are fatcats (net worths in the millions of dollars at the bare minimum). Oh, and you'll have to extradite Bono here to put him in prison, as well, since he offshores his US profits to sheleter them from US taxes.

Still interested in imprisoning the rich?

Well, the DUmp world anyway.

Travelman nailed it.  That was the first thing to pop into my head when I read the OP.  Dem politicians and actors/singers.

That thread will go nowhere.  They don't want to admit they have as many 'rich' as the right.

[SSG Snuggle Bunny]

Debtor's prison are unconstitutional.

And travelman left out John "I married an heiress...twice" Kerry.

Naw, he's got John K on there.  It's the first name.

The thread completely died.  Only one response after Travelman, and that was just BuzzClik.

That's too bad.  That one could have been fun to play around with.

BTW--did you know John Kerry was in Vietnam?

Yes! And I remember seeing him on TV, reporting for duty. It's seared into my memory.

Some DUmmy bumped the thread back up with a bunch of idiotic nonsense:

5. I could spin that a few ways.
 Out of respect for the Big Easy, let's start there. All blue blooded ball boys, (that's the Goldman Sachs crew) should report to New Orleans for duty on the clean up of the gulf disaster. The folks who have been living and working there can take up residence in the homes vacated by the exit from Wall Street.

What next? Motor City, America's industrial gem lies dull and in the shadow of its former glory. I could see the execs of oil and gas in hard hats on the assembly line. The K Street kiddies in steel country, sweatin out a sturdier core. The Fed, the Treasury, the OCC and all them other alphabet soup entities that are supposed to act as a regulatory labyrinth? Let each have and operate their own full service laundering practice, it seems their skill set applies. It's gotta be bedpan duty for the health insurance industry and big pharma.

That ain't everybody, but that's a world that runs more proper in my eyes, tyvm.

Oh yeah, I rec'd the heck outta that!

You can have that surgically removed.

Move over, DUmmy WillPitt, another DUmp plagiarist has arrived. This time the victim is Pol Pot.

I'll do you one better primitive Hawkeye.
How about we make the ones getting the gubberment welfare checks/benefits do some "hard labor"?! They're the ones that don't work.
The "fat cats" had to start someplace and it was called work. You people are the last ones to talk about doing "hard labor". This all stems from the lord zero Obozo. So much for leadership, huh?!

[Karin]

Fizzled out.  What a shame.  It never ceases to amaze me, all the railing against the rich they do (and Hawkeye does go on and on, creating new topics all the time on it).  The Democrat ranks are chock-filled with extremely wealthy people.  I could tack on to Travelman's list and fill reams.  He missed Nancy Pelosi for one.  All the bastards on Wall Street pouring money over Obama's head during the campaign. 

Lurking Dummies, please wake up to reality.  Oh, and Hello, guest.

You said it Karin. They are living with their heads in the sand.

I'd heard something along those lines.  Wasn't he the guy who got the purple heart when he got a staple under his fingernail?

Ooooohhhh.  Those things hurt.

Yet no one wants to touch Travelman's post.

Hey, Hawkeye.  I think anyone who has the means to travel to Israel for a vacation is a 'have'.  I've never been able to afford a trip like that ..... what's that make you?  I'm thinking YOU are the fatcat in question.

And isn't it amazing how he bitches along with the rest of the DUmmies about the "rich" not paying "their fair share", yet here he is drawing disability and at the same time working "under the table", meaning he's NOT PAYING TAXES on earnings that he should in fact be paying?

Just a thought.

I think he served on TomInTib's swiftboat, but TIT was the only one with every decoration short of the CMOH.

[Airwolf]

You know what thye say about those that point a finger and all that. I wonder just how much HawkeyeX is paying in taxes?

Methinks hawkeye gets back more than he pays in OR pays nothing in to begin with.

TiT probably got the SSCMOH (Super Secret Congressional Medal of Honor).  He wasn't even allowed to talk about it.

AFFLECK: That speaks so perfectly to people's feelings about our country. It's like it's just about getting by, or people can like let people go if they can get away with it, that there's no deeper sense of right or wrong. The banks shouldn't -- people shouldn't make such a giant profit off just moving money back and forth. And CEOs' pay shouldn't be 200 times the average worker. It used to be nine times.

"Gigli" Starring Ben Affleck
Net losses (actual): $66,733,791

Affleck’s salary for the film was $12.5 million

According to Salary.com, the median salary for a camera operator in the television & motion picture industry in Los Angeles is just over $80,000 per year.

Benny Boy made roughly 156 times more than that for one craptastic movie.
