Time To Make Life Really Hard For The Rich

It is time for polite, respectable, rational people to start saying what has become painfully obvious: It is time to stop respecting the rich, and start stealing from them. In earnest.

Inequality is eating America alive. It has been growing for decades. To say that “the American dream is dead” is no longer a poetic exaggeration—it is an accurate description of 40 years of wage stagnation and declining economic mobility that has produced a generation that cannot expect to live better than their parents did. Not because of devastating war or plague, but because of a very specific set of rules governing a very specific economic system that encourages the accumulation of great wealth among a tiny portion of the population, to the detriment of the vast majority of people. Our political and business leaders have chosen to embrace a system that favors capital over labor. A system in which the more you already have, the more you make, and the less you have, the harder it is to build wealth. It is a system designed to increase inequality. It is functioning exactly as designed. And now, it is about to get worse.

Thou shall not steal.

Thou shall not covet thy neighbor's goods.

Rich is a relative term. This guy is saying that a homeless guy has every right to bonk him on the head and relieve him of whatever he has.

Tax the rich
Feed the poor
Til there are no
Rich no more

I’d love to change the world
But I don’t know what to do

Everywhere are dykes and fairies
Freaks and harries
Tell me where is sanity

It's never been easier, you are lazy and/or stupid, and the American dream was not built on wages.

Click on the link and read the comments, they are full of hate and envy. These are people who would institute a bloody Stalinist Purge.

Go ahead and crack down on those rotten entrepreneurs, you know the ones who organize, manage, and assumes the risks of a business or enterprise. They will just fold up business here and flee overseas like they did when Osama Obama hit them hard.

by "rich" they mean most of us....people that have worked their whole lives to live in a decent area and have a home and maybe a little something in the bank...by no means extravagant....

because the truly rich are untouchable.

It never ceases to amaze me how everyone’s worth is determined by what they have. There are many people out there who don’t have cable television, 2 cars, a 4-bedroom house in a nice neighborhood and are perfectly happy with what they have.

This article reeks of jealousy. As has been stated, if you have socialism, this will only get WORSE.

The definitive expose’ of leftism is in the book of James.

Read James 4:1; this is nothing but covetousness and envy writ large.

What an idiot. We don’t LESS successful people, we need MORE.

You could take everything the ultrarich have and it wouldn’t make a dimple in the debt, let alone help everyone else. All this would do is drive capital to other countries.
