This is why I don't feel bad about calling Freeper types stupid and ignorant
as seen on Facebook:

"We start from the simple premise that we should reduce the tax burden on working people, while helping Americans go to college, own a home, raise a family, start a business and save for retirement. Those goals are the foundation of the American Dream, and they are the focus of my tax policy." Obama's quote. & what about those top 2% of weathly people who WORK for a living...why wont he let them have tax cuts too?


I mean, really?

I don't know a single person who doesn't work for a living NOR do I know a single person who is in the top 2% of wealthy people.

These people have no reasoning skills whatsoever. This is just so dumb I can barely wrap my mind around it. This person can't even SPELL wealthy.

It just blows my mind.

1. That top 2% doesn't work. They get people to work for them, for peanuts. That's how they get rich.

2. These people need to ask themselves why those making over $200K voted for OBAMA. And stop feeling
sorry for that group, they know what they're doing.

3. I was thinking it's funny that they defend the top 2% even though some of them may be the elitists
they so despise

6. And don't they hate the "Hollywood Liberal"?
Let's think about the kind of salaries they bring home:

Julia Roberts makes about $20 million a film. What about Sean Penn, George Clooney, Edward Norton? So, basically, these "tea baggers" are protesting so that their hated-Hollywood liberal elite don't have to pay a few percent more in taxes?


... I don't think they're actually protesting taxes. They're protesting because the RW couldn't manufacture a "win" at the voting booth this year and Obama won fairly.

8. I totally agree. I heard one woman who has no job say she was "worried about what they are doing to

us and stuff." She has no job because she is about to try out to be an Atlanta Falcons cheerleader. No job but worried about an increase in the taxes she pays?

These people have no reasoning skills at all. I hope the average person can see through this.

4. I've met a few 2%ers....
Exactly what you think they are but a few are decent folks who will never suffer even when they are slumming it.

I heard this song one day...I had a not so nasty conversation that concluded with EXACTLY like the message of the song: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5m76m_william-shatner-sings-pulp-common-p_music

7. I honestly don't know...sad to say.
The original band who sang it was Pulp. A British Europop band.
