The sacrifice the wealthy have made?

They got their taxs cut.
First time ever, during wartime, in this Nation's history.
$1,200,000,000,000 and counting; our children's children will pay for.

We are subsidizing the war profiteering that the wealthy are reaping.
That is fascism.

2. They got their taxes cut MULTIPLE TIMES, at the expense of things like veterans' benefits...
I don't think wealth alone makes you a bad person, I think a lot of bad people are wealthy and use their power irresponsibly.

4. "Sacrificed. Their. Peace. Of. Mind." Fer cryin' out loud...
Poor, poor babies. :sarcasm:
But if that's the case...
I'm not the only one here who's loooong over due for a major reimbursement.
Ante up and fork it over, Mr. Bush. It's payback time.

O, how I WISH....

7. What is this "sacrifice" of which you speak?
Do you mean the millions of underpaid Mcjobs or the poor, overtaxed millionaires?

My heart bleeds.

10. If they don't stop
STEALING from most of us,(the theft is done by making us feel afraid of scarcity,desperate like we won't or cannot survive without the rich feeding us wages via"jobs" in their self serving 'system' or'market' so we are coerced from the day we are born to seek a 'career' and sell our time talents and labor too cheap, but we end up putting our money right back into the hands that"gave' it to us so the rich cannot lose,anything this way..and we never gain enough to become as "free" as they are..)When the rich get as callous to us as royalty they'll be forced to sacrifice their sorry lives and their fortunes divided up and they will die for their sadistic greed.(the entire"market" is a scam,strikingly pyramidal in shape..There is a top 1 percent, a upper class, a middle class and working class and poor.( A PYRAMID SCAM.. WE live in a top down hierarchical UNEQUAL social arrangement and we are not as free as we try so hard to convince each other we are.The top 1 percent have way more freedom than everyone else. And why do THEY get to have it? What makes these 1 percenter pigs so worthy for having so uch more than all of us they already own 40% of everything, Imagine 1 percent of the population owning 40% of all the resources? This isn't right? WE are being scammed..Tell me,Is paris hilton a better person than you or I? What good does the give in return for all that money? Donald trump? What do these vain pampered agressive bully pigs give back to us to justify thier hoggish ways?
