Price of oil is dropping like a rock.
   
Any hedge fund managers or big bankers jumping out the windows yet?

Oh, it's the lifeblood of the economy? I don't give a shit. I just want people I hate to do poorly.

Think of the damage that could be wrought upon the cars down below!

safe--no, because 1--a number of them sell short, 2--when business costs go down, the stocks they invest in typically improve, 3--more people go to work and have 401(k) contributions, meaning they also buy stock.

I wonder if the DUmmies realize over 50 percent of Americans own stocks in one fashion or another?

DU the biggest congregation of whiny, envious, and jealous losers on the interwebs.

How does someone rich affect a poor person? Rush brought this up today and I'd love to hear one of those DUmpmonkies make a cogent argument as why.

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

Jealousy is how it affects them.

Notice how they're not upset at all by San Fran Nan making millions more off the backs of her non-union employees, though?

Irony--they haz it.  They haz lots and lots of it.

I read their thread about Pelosi.  It was an awkward, uncomfortable atmosphere.  They seemed on edge, ready to snap at the slightest.  One did, "How dare you attack a progressive!?"  Then they let the whole thing slip quietly to the bottom of the page, never to be seen again. 

It was all over the other internets, though.

...or the, IIRC, Tuna industry in Samoa, which she's heavily invested in, getting a waiver for the minimum wage due to her chicanery.
