The critics of "the rich" always blame the rich. So ... none of the bad guys that caused the banking crisis were fined/arrested etc and that is the fault of ... some guy in NYC that makes more than $xxx ... Isnt it the fault of the politicians that no one was prosecuted ?
The rich guy down the street was busy working when the overseeing politicians led by Ms Pelosi for 2 years I believe did nothing to the guilty. Im not partial to Dems or Republicans theyre all at fault. But, while the protesters blame the rich ... they dont seem to notice if you buy a Windows PC ,Bills Gates makes money. If you own an Iphone, Ipod then you helped Steve Jobs another rich guy make money. If you buy your stuff at WalMart, then you helped the Chinese govt and put American workers out of work. They see NONE of that and I do not understand why it is never pointed out to them. The Obamas made $1,728,096 last year. Isnt he a rich guy ? These folks are " public SERVANTS" ?
Warren Buffet is another rich guy. He complains about not paying enough in taxes theres no need for that he COULD receive his income as wages, but he chooses NOT to. Instead his income is from capital gains and divindend income. So he COULD donate the latter and choose the former. Hes a smart guy strange he doesnt figure that out.
The conservative movement was largely expected to vanish after the financial meltdown of 2008. So how did the movement manage such a successful comeback so quickly? Author, editor, and columnist Thomas Frank examines the conservative resurgence in his new book, Pity the Billionaire.
