Your ad hominen insult to A. Pole was noted.
I'm going to keep asking until you answer Aliska:

And sorry, this is a debate class...we are debating. And you can't do it well. Your arguments are nothing but emotional swill that disregards all reality in favor of your perceived notions, class rhetoric and simple hatred for the fact you yourself are not making tons of money because you think you, for some reason, are worth more than someone is willing to pay. And since you can't improve your life on your own you'll spend the rest of it tearing others down to make yourself feel better.
You remind me of Russians wishing the Communist party was back in power.
