    It's the Robin Hood ploy, take from the "rich" give to the "poor"

    and win another term in office.

    But it's all to the detriment of the "poor."

    A few years ago it was written that every month in China 4 million chinese

    raise above the Chinese poverty level.

    It was noted, not by Chinese entitlement programs, but something

    that sounds very suspicious: Jobs.

    You're a Congress member. You and your colleagues in Washington D.C., passed a law that allows Congress members LEGAL RIGHT to insider stock market trading ( which is ILLEGAL for the rest of us "commoners" to engage in ).

    So your Congress power to dabble with insider stock market trading now allows you to own some nifty powerful stocks; and if YOU are doing this, it's a safe bet ALL Congress members are doing the same thing.

    And if YOU are smug, cozy safe---knowing you're primed to remain WEALTHY beyond expectations....why give a damn about anybody else? Hey: It's every man to fend for himself.

    Meaning: America's in deeper trouble than we thought; show Obama the door OUT the White House this November.

    Source(s): Vote Romney this November and reclaim America

    Actually, what right do I have to take your property?

    Why do you think that jealousy gives me the right to take your stuff?

    How much of your things should I be allowed to have just because you made better choices in life than I did? Can I have your computer, but not your iPod? Can I have your iPod if it is newer than mine, or am I limited to absolute value? What if your car is better than mine? Can I take that just because you took a major in finance and I chose liberal arts? And how long must you support me because of the foolish choices I made?

    Well?

    How long?

    You must be trolling. It's the Conservatives who worship the rich and the big banks.

    What do you mean? If you mean, why should the rich pay more taxes, it's because they can and still have more than enough money to live.
