I’m not keen on this slimy weasel deciding to release anyones personal information because HE decides it needs to be released. He acts like the God of info and FReepers start to drool.

One of the secrets to a happy life is to spend less than you make, at any level.

All 3 of my neighbors own more than one house and I'm happy with my 1000 square feet on a half acre of lakefront. After I lived here for a couple of years my neighbors figured out that I don't care what they have. It makes for a pretty relaxed neighborhood. (there are only about 150 people in town as it is)

Bringing the rich down is not going to raise the poor.

No, but at least the crooked ones can get what they deserve.

Won’t do him any good if someone bumps him off though. Who do you think he’s in cohoots with, I don’t keep up with everything about him.

I’m happy for anyone who makes a lot of money. More power to ‘em.

But I pay my taxes, and if certain wealthy people illegally don’t pay theirs like I do, then tattle away.

Who gets to decide which ones are crooked? What about the ones who aren't "crooked"? Sounds to me like they're going to be punished too.

Ain't social justice grand?

The percentage of people that are rich and busted their butts to get there is equal to the number of people who are poor that are there because of the decisions THEY made.

Are you just as concerned about the people that live off of people like you and me and get a check from the IRS for making bad decisions?

Also, FYI, did you know that 86% of all taxes are paid by the top 25% of income earner. The top 50% pay 97% of all taxes.

.

Arpege jumps from country to country with no legal source of income or employment

He is not a tax-exempt foundation or organization in any country

Why are the countries ignoring that?

Even in England where he is still now residing.....

His expenses, food, transportation, rent, etc. does not fall tax-free from the skies

Julie Arpege has set up a better scam than Maddoff ever did

The fact is that this is little more than a target list and a far more dangerous target list than anything you’ll ever see in a campaign.

They’re being exposed for the express purpose of showing the left who to harrass and intimidate.

Maybe this time when the mob shows up to surround the house of some evil rich guy they won’t stop at scaring the kids. Maybe they’ll just quit screwing around and burn the family to death in their home like the Turkish bank employees burned to death in riots there.

In simplest terms, Assange wants rioting in the streets here like he sees elsewhere in the world.
