1. Does this mean the rich don't invite him to their parties?
Because if they did, he'd know.

24. Rand Paul, no poor, and no middle-income
I guess this fool doesn't even realize they are the biggest amount of people in America. You wonder if he will represent those he doesn't even exist.

When he and his cronies get done, there will be no poor, no middle class. Only serfs and slaves. But then again, we LOVE being slaves to the rich.

It's not just here in the US:
London has the biggest wealth divide Poor now 'slaves' to London's rich
Terry Kirby

London has become the most unequal city in the western world, with the difference between rich and poor creating an Indian style "social caste" system, a leading academic claims.

In a new book, Injustice: Why Social Inequality Exists, Professor Danny Dorling underlines many of the issues raised by the Evening Standard's Dispossessed campaign to highlight the plight of the capital's underclass.

The book discloses that the richest tenth of people had an average wealth of £933,563, a figure 273 times greater than the lowest 10 per cent, with an average wealth of £3,420.

12. 'We all either work for rich people or sell stuff to rich people'... yes, he said that

I guess that would imply then that we are all beholden to rich people. We can see where Rand Paul is going with this.

13. What a Pair
Wolf Blitzer is a scat muncher.

The bar is pretty high, but Rand Paul is one of the dumber people to reach the Senate. Claiming that feudalism will help average people is a stunner. Get ready for the 19th century, part II.

15. THIS is an example of why he and his fellow Teahadists avoided interviews during the election
Hopefully they'll make such idiots of themselves over the next few months the wider public will get a much better idea of what the Koch brothers' anarcho-libertarian astroturf con game is all about.

27. There are no rich, there are no poor, there are no middle class.
Only one of the above three statements is true, or will be if things continue the way they are. Guess which one.

28. This guy...
It is amazing that people were willing to vote for such a economic simpleton. The idea that returning tax rates to a Clinton levels will hurt the economy flies against 96% of the economists out there. This guy has been really drinking the Liberian kool-aid. His approach to government is liking to that of Somalia's approach to government. The rhetoric sounds good if you just listen to the words, but when you look at our economic history you will see that this is not the case.

Our most prosperous time in America was during some of the highest tax rates for the rich as there ever was. This dude is an idiot. I look forward to seeing if he is willing to live up to his principles by blocking the upcoming raise of the debt ceiling. I would venture to say NO.
