:rofl: This is excellent... Oh whew* let me catch my breath

So a lawyer (Define:bottom feeding social lamprey) writes a letter about how hard it is being rich in America

Let that sink in for a minute
Because here in America we just hate the rich - oh wait...

Note to Lawyer:
America is all about BEING RICH and flaunting ones riches
completely absolutely 100% built by the rich - for the rich

So lately there's been some push back
the lowest levels of society have noticed
and you know what - nothing happened except a few hippies and college students stood out front for a month and lamented

:rofl: A lawyer :rofl: writes about the horrors of "rich in America"
you can't make this sh!t up it's so good

and it would be funny if it wasn't so sad to see how people compare uncomparable things now a days.

The war on the rich to the persecution of the jews in Germany :?

Not to mention

Travon Martin to Emmett Till.
Federal Debt to slavery.

No wonder I didn't I quit paying attention to the talking heads.

I heard about that earlier and it's not off the wall at all. The Jews were easy to demonize, in part, because they were economically successful and controlled a lot of commerce. Also, there is the basic idea of scapegoating. The Jews were scapegoated by the Nazis and, in our own time and place, "The Rich" are being scapegoated by the progressive movement.

Of course there are differences. But there are also similarities and no two circumstances are alike. And there is no question that "the left" demagogues by setting up "The Rich" as villains who are responsible for the country's problems. Things like saying that "The Rich" are "siphoning off" wealth that rightfully belongs to others.

There is absolutely no question that they are being demonized and used as scapegoats to drum up a fervor in favor of the progressive movement and the Democratic Party. None whatsoever.
Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star?

Oh, blow it out your Seattle thug Super Bowl riot ass. You didn't even begin to check out the facts about Perkins, who has a Harvard MBA and an MIT undergrad degree. So you belatedly limp to the web to find that Kleiner has a law degree to justify your Haiku rant against lawyers. Get it right.

Chizzy, I expect more from you. Gene Kleiner has been dead for 10 years, and he wasn't a lawyer. Perkins went over the top, I grant you that, but he has a point. The rich are the minority the press loves to hate.

Dear Mr. Ivy
You know I don't care
I was doing my best to stir up the crazies (little did I know I'd snag the least crazy on the board, you)

And you know it's true (we both now it's true)
This country is a really nice place to live when you have a lot of money
Unlike Europe where the super rich spend alot of time isolated and hidden in quiet clubs and elite locations

In America the super rich can hang with the regular old upper middle
and have a very "included" experience - enjoy a socially mixed life and walk peacefully among the hoard and mix in fairly easily

Hardly a midnight gestapo torture roundup
So the super elite wealthy took a bit of an image beating after the Bank collapse
Meh...

They just need to re-brand themselves as the good guys. Change the messaging to how through one of the greatest trade and financial deregulatory era's in modern history they were able create decent paying jobs and raise all those boats. And when the economy fell on hard times, they sufferred along with the rest of the country. How, rather than kicking down the ladder once they reached the top, they sacrificed along side the hoi poloi, extending a rope to help pull everyone back up with them.

They should own a couple of media conglomerates to fight back against the evil, independent, press...
