Much appreciated,

The liberals spend their days talking about the greedy rich not paying their fair share. The truth is that if we were to take every cent from the top one percent of wealth in this country it wouldn't fund government spending for FOUR DAYS.
I was at a Christmans party six or eight years ago where I met a chap who was retired from the UAW. Now some of it was the egg nog talking I'm sure, but he was ranting on about how great Nancy Pelosi was because she was going after those rich bastards who were making all that money on Wall Street. I was talking with the he guy for a little while, and it turns out that he had rolled over $700,000 out of his 401(k) into his IRA when he retired, and of course how smart he was and all. I asked him if he knew who Queen Nancy was going after with all her "get Wall Street" rhetoric. He paused and I said, "It's YOU, ya dope! Your 401(k) didn't get that big on bank CDs." He then informed me that it grew because of his mutual funds, not stocks and bonds. I realized suddenly that it was pearls before swine...he didn't get it, and what's more, he never will.
As Tolkien said in "Lord of the Rings" that when there were gatherers and shares there was more gathering than sharing.

Of course they think that the climate is helped by giving politicians more money and power?
In fact their solution to anything is to give politicians more money and power.
