Income Inequality

I agree with forkushV that "the game is rigged." I think that it's possible that many on this board think the same, but I could be very wrong about that. I also think that it would be a travesty to keep the "riggers" is a position to keep the rigging in place. We need somebody that's going to eliminate the rigging, but IMHO, most folks are afraid of someone capable of doing just that.

Another term for bottom feeders is "suckers".


I'm not sure I could agree more. I have to say Bernie is one of the exceptions along with a few of the other legislators who have a low bank acct. It's fairly simple, look at the guys bank worth before and after they're in office.


Bernie is entertaining, seems to be honest, and seems to have integrity.

That being said, he is a socialist and he would like to soak you as much as possible. Much of his plans would never pass in Congress.

He is also old, and you've seen how the presidency ages people.

Now about me being entitled:

  • I never had Social Security finance my college education, unlike Paul Ryan.
  • I've never had the taxpayers pay for a stadium, unlike Jeb!
  • I remained eligible for the draft, unlike Mitt Romney who escaped it by going to France.
  • I never received an affirmative action for white guys admission to Yale or Harvard, unlike George W. Bush.
  • I've never gone to federal court to escape my debts, unlike Donald Trump (4x).
  • My employer provided health insurance isn't subsidized (although it is non-taxable compensation).
  • I don't even have an Obamaphone.

    And regarding digging up your past idiocies, stop lying about me or I'll keep telling the truth about you.


  • The class action lawsuit you filed was just an attempt to get your dollar back from Redbox?

    Clearly Bob, this is not an area of great expertise for you. Don't worry though, you'll always be the go-to guy for information on trailer park living.

    Clearly Bruce, you felt you were entitled to much more than your dollar back from Redbox.

    As much as some people try to demean and stereotype people who live in mobile home parks, I'm neither ashamed nor embarrassed about living in one. I paid cash for my home. My annual property taxes are about $6. It is a seniors MHP, a natural neighborhood watch environment as most of the residents are retired and home during the day (and night). We know and watch out for our neighbors. It is the safest neighborhood I've ever lived in!

    You know Bob, stranger danger is overrated. If you're found murdered tomorrow, the most likely suspect is the person you slept with the night before.

    But in the Coinstar case, the class was entitled to refunds. Now go ask someone what that means and then we can continue this chit-chat.

    You have to be kidding me. You file a frivilous lawsuit that only clogs up the coourts with the millions of other bullshit suits and you respond by making some half ass insult? Damn forky I've thought you were somewhat shallow and immature at times with some of your arguments but this really takes the cake dude. Suing over a buck! You have to be so completely emberassed that this got out. Good luck with that dollar and keep us posted.

    BTW by insulting someone where they live only indicates you only aspire to that much.
