Nope; wrong ! Those who use wealth as a slur / who say that everyone who has wealth and / or position is corrupt, a thief, didn't get either honestly, is using MARXIST tactics ; whether they know it or not.

By all means, feel free to disagree with me; just don't make silly claims, which are indeed straight out of Marx's handbook for prols. :-)

"Those who use wealth as a slur / who say that everyone who has wealth and / or position is corrupt"

I see your one of those people who see what they want and ignore the rest.

I did NOT say that Everyone who has wealth...etc.

I was saying the f*&%^rs who are running the country are flushing it for their own gain.

The founders whom you name were the only ones allowed to vote. As the franchise has been extended, more people vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. Now, the political elites are whoever can find the most people who want something they don't have and promising to give it to them: George Bush, the Clintons, the Kennedys. Publicly subsidized education has given us Peter Singer and Cornel West. Fiat money, artificially cheap credit and other government distortions of the economy has given us Enron, Tyco, Global Crossings, etc.

In all these venues of course, one can still find thoughtful, industrious, moral people. However, the pernicious influence of democracy has resulted in an elite who, by and large, are midgets compared with the elites of the past.

Spoken like someone who has never been in a deposition or involved with a multi-year lawsuit. Once you get to see the legal system close up and personal you'll soon learn just how truly corrupt America really is.

This guy omited other leaders, those of crowds of people.

I'm new here... what are you saying exactly? FreeRepublic is mentioned on Rush, etc. and seems well-known. How has it changed? For the better, I hope. The posts I've read so far are all fairly harmless.

Oh, so you're a lawyer. Well, that takes care of that. Say whatever you want to, I won't be listening. I don't care what lawyers have to say. It has been my experience that they have little regard for the truth.
