3. "I'm not a wealthy dickhead. I'm you."
Edited on Fri Nov-05-10 05:33 AM by ScottLand
But I listened again. After he says there are no rich, no poor, etc., he says we shouldn't punish rich people. If they don't exist, what difference does that make?

4. I think he's trying to say, "Can't we all get along?"
Edited on Fri Nov-05-10 08:00 AM by bulloney
No, Mr. Paul. As long as people like the Koch brothers and other uber-wealthy individuals and corporations use their money and power to manipulate policy to their benefit and the detriment of others, we will not get along. And it will be your rich bedfellows' fault.

Unlike you, I'm not star-struck by everyone who is wealthy. Just because you're wealthy, it doesn't mean you're a successful person or are a good person, especially the ones who are wealthy because of the success of a parent, grandparent or other member of the family. I'm talking about people who were born on third base and think they hit a triple.

5. I think he meant that
there are only rich people, and people who work for rich people.

6. Trickle Down
Just another way of saying he believes in Reaganomics and the feudal system. And with the Democrats trying to revive the economy by shoveling trillions to the rich, they all should be able to find common ground.
