America's Idiot Rich

[hfojvt]

22. translation

mittens, of course, is Mitt Romney, or you, since you seem to be a defender of Mitt Romney, or Mitt Romney's ideas, you may as well be Mitt Romney.

Second, it is the idea that there is prejudice against the rich (from Obama) that is irrational, and Obama was not the one who said "America's idiot rich"

But, in your favor, the article said "there is widespread prejudice against the rich" and did not single out Obama. Still, for every one person who says "KNR" to an article titled "America's idiot rich" there are probably 100 people saying "I love rich people. I love the way they live. I love the way I live when I am with them." (quoted from The Sound of Music) or "If you're so smart, why ain't you rich?"

Further though, widespread prejudice against, say a black person, impacts their daily life in a huge way, when they cannot get a good job (because of discimination) when they get stopped for DWB (driving while black) when they get trapped in ghettos filled with violence and decay and inadequate schools and no way out except for prison or the grave. The prejudice, such as it exists against the rich, does not really impact them. If one or two of the canaille give them the finger as their private jet flies a mile overhead...Well, it is not very nice, but it doesn't exactly ruin the rich person's day, much less their life. Anymore than their life would be ruined if some evil liberal like me "punished" them by making them pay taxes at pre-Bush rates. Yes, omigosh, I would demand that they collectively pay another 70.35 billion in taxes. That's a lot of money, but I do not believe their lives will be ruined if that happened. They would still have, collectively, $754 billion to live on, an average of $5.5 million each. I think they will probably be okay living on $5.5 million. I'm pretty sure people don't face real privation until their income gets below $2 million.
