    all of the politicians are destroying the country and they are oblivious to that fact. I heard sander's say he will spend 10 trillion if elected mostly for socialized medicine, the man is a loony tune. yesterday i read that the government received over 2 trillion in tax revenue for the last quarter.if you believe that i'll sell you the brooklyn bridge, but IF that were the case why does 0 need more money. well let us say he needs it to take care of his muslim friends that he is bringing into the country. once here they will become bumps on a log with their hands out for ever. and he is getting away with it because the legislative branch of government is useless as the tits on a bull hog!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    It would be funny if it weren't so tragic.

    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.

    Actually, the world is very definitely NOT a zero sum game. But the only way to get bigger numbers is by producers producing more, not by politicians moving money around -- that's less than a zero sum game.

    As Tolkien said in "Lord of the Rings" that when there were gatherers and shares there was more gathering than sharing.

    This fact has never changed. The world is a zero sum game. Until we make replicators...

    Isn't amazing that politicians think that the middle class is helped by giving politicians more money and power?

    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.
