So how much do you invest weekly in the lottery which is the only way you'll ever be rich? I think you are confused, the government doesn't subsidize poverty. Now the corporations may want that because they want a bunch of slaves to work their war machine factories. So are you a neo-liberalist? Are you a communist? You probably don't know what the first is and you will say no to the second but neo-liberalism is essentially corporate communism. >From your attitude you sound like a shill for neo-liberalism. > Billionaires created the company that gave me my first financial break in > life, United Parcel Service. Two teenagers founding American Messenger Service in 1907 in Seattle which became UPS. They borrowed $100 to start. Some billionaires, eh?

Why do you think I'm stupid? You're not doing too well in that area yourself. Must be the water in Texas or all the Chrischuns who follow Parry (misspellings intentional). You certainly as predicted rose to the occasion. > However, I'm neither a billionaire nor even a pseudo-billionaire, I just > don't covet other peoples property, nor was I *whining*, just reading between > the lines. Sounds like you're whining. Billionaires covet other people's property so why do you support them? > From: Bhairitu<noozg...@sbcglobal.net> > To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com > Sent: Tuesday, August 16, 2011 11:34 AM > Subject: Re: [FairfieldLife] Buffett says "Tax the Rich" > > > > What did I say? > "I suppose our "FFL pseudo-billionaires" will start whining." > > Why do you care, Mike, if the billionaires pay a little more in taxes? > What have the billionaires ever done for you?
