OK, I will say it… Rich motherfuckers don't deserve any more god damned money

16. Awwwww, your troll got dropped!

I was about to address his moronic wingnut argument

How are we defining "rich" here?

By global standards, the rich includes you. So unless you're willing to give up everything and live like most people do in the third world, whining about how "rich motherfuckers" are greedy and don't deserve more money only makes you a hypocrite.

There are a few different reasons someone will want to pull a "not as bad as" comparison. Consider a generic argument about something, A, and the reasoning below:

B happened, and is worse than A.
Therefore A is justified.

This is the most blatantly fallacious form of the argument and is a hindsight version of the "not as bad as" argument that states past actions can legitimise current actions. The existence of a worse atrocity in the past, however, does not actually justify anything — it merely points out that there have been similar things in the past. People who use this as a justification may be well aware that it's logically fallacious, and use it purely as rhetoric, or as a distraction.

Wingnuts use this "not as bad as" canard to denigrate America's poor, admonishing them if they have TVs and Refrigerators, as if an appliance is some indicator of great wealth. They figure "Weeeeeellll, if you can buy this TV, then why should my hard-earned tax dollars go to feed your nine crack babies???"

I always want these knobs to tell someone in the rural south or homeless in America's worst urban areas how great they have it and how rich they are compared to someone in Jakarta. Are we really going there?
