I don't know about you but I am getting sick of the wealthy in this country [View all]

they whine about a tax cut and the common people are hurting. apparently the wealthy are suffering from "affluenzia," poor babies with the best medical care, homes, medicines, etc. I think the world would be better off without you, where no one has to suffer under your capitalistic failure system
and if we ever have an other country invasion I think giving them your bunker location might be interesting as you are the richest ones to plunder. Oh I see you think using the poor and middle class to fight and die for you will work. We know how important and "special" you are.
