Government dependence hits record

The sad fact of the matter is is that when the 1% go out playing on their golf clubs, eating at fancy restaurants, and whatnot it's all a tax break - that's right, it's all a tax write off! I know because I arranged the receipts for the accountant when I was doing temp work for a while.

Before the temp job I worked blue-collar jobs for 12 years. God forbid that a blue-collar man should try to get some tax breaks for the work gear and warm clothing that he needs for his job. That's not what tax write offs are for! The tax write offs are for the rich! I think it's absurd that when I was busting my back on the docks I paid twice as much in taxes (in percentage) then that rich so and so Mitt Romney.

And those rich people that are working what are they doing? They are trading in derivatives, they are engaged in destructive speculation, they are taking the money out of the country and hiding it abroad to avoid paying taxes.

But I want to make something absolutely clear. I have no problem with a doctor or someone who has actually invented a wonderful computer program becoming rich.

However, I am very much against this parasitic practice of one generation of the bourgeoisie passing on billions of dollars to the next generation of the bourgeoisie. These people do not work, at any rate whatever they do I do not call work. What the bourgeoisie do is more like wrecking and pillaging. Look at the economy! It's a mess!

Look at what is happened to the industry of our nation. Much of it is gone. The bourgeoisie took the money out of those factories every year and failed to reinvest the money in those factories, and not surprisingly after decades of not modernizing those factories they went out of business. But the bourgeoisie wanted to hoard that money. And who's sweat made the rich people rich? The sweat of the worker!

I know several wealthy people and one thing they all have in common is, they work their asses off. They love what they do and work hard every day. And for this, they are denigrated by the likes of people like you and BO. They are tired of this BS treatment and I suspect the consequences of this class warfare promoted by the left will be most detrimental....like all consequences of leftism.

Its disgusting and appalling that the nation that invented the work ethic now has a large segment of the population that are not only lazy asses who want the wealthy to pay for their every "need," but these same worthless asses condemn the wealthy while demanding their money. CRAZY!!!

Yes, we have problems with our system that creates inequities, but this is primarily due to the huge omnipresent government that leftists love, which has distorted capitalism into a grotesque thing...with lots of ugly socialism and cronyism creating tons of inefficiencies.

thank LBJ for that.

perhaps the only thing I'll remember about the OWS kerfuffle is when the OCC guy complaining that they could not block the market activity because they were alrady at work when they turned up and still working when they left. Kinda sums it up.

yes. Most ironic. The productive are working hard every day so the unproductive, who are supported by the productive, can condemn them.

Just another heinous consequence of liberalism.

Interesting

Not

The bankers, a notoriously right wing bunch destroyed the economy causing mass unemployment and it is the fault of the unemployed?

You people have been utterly brainwashed by your nazi heroes
