Are the poor dragging us all down?

[Philosoraptor]

And if this is the case, I apologize.

[AzDar]

1. Not at all..it's the corporations.

[Demeter]

2. I Rather Think It's the Obscenely Rich

Who will do ANYTHING, and I do mean ANYTHING, to see that they never pay their way.

[bdamomma]

18. it is a

CLASS WAR.

[ixion]

3. not at all, as usual, it's the wealthy handlers and their ignorant lackies

who have caused the trouble. These types of people are a bane to our species, IMO.

[fasttense]

4. It's the uber wealthy CEOs and corrupt financial firms that are dragging

us down into a gradual spiraling republican great depression. The poor pay their social security taxes and work at their jobs. It's the idle rich Paris Hiltons and stupid CEOs who need to be rescued.

5. Yes. Clearly the poor are at the root of all the problems facing us

how dare they screw us with their shiftless ways!!!

:sarcasm:

6. You, sir or madam, are simply NOT poor enough.

For if you owed 10s of billions... we would be writing you a check right now to cover your loses and, probably, enough left over for a nice parting gift!

The Donald once said (paraphrase)

"Owe the banks a few million and they own you. Owe the banks a few billion and you own THEM."

21. Too bad for me that my quick cash line of credit is only

$1,000. If only I could truly sink into debt the size of the GDP of Myanmar! :rofl:

[htuttle]

7. No, the poor are what's holding all of us up

Most profit comes from the labor stolen from the poor, one way or another.

[madrchsod]

8. silly question but i`ll answer-no

[Ian David]

9. It looks like it's the rich making the rest of us poor. n/t

10. Reagan's "welfare queen" was a fictional character.

The corporate welfare queens are very real and cost the US taxpayers a heck of a lot more than America's poor.

Besides, given a choice I'd rather spend tax money helping the poor survive than helping the rich buy another mansion or yacht.

[BlueIris]

11. I'm pretty sure the "poor" (read: most of us) are a symptom, not the cause. nt

[ColoradoMagician]

12. I'm poor....

and all I did was read the fucking news.

[Brewman_Jax]

13. The Chinese have the right idea

they've executed their corporate criminals.

[Wilber_Stool]

14. The Japanese do it better.

They kill themselves.

[yardwork]

15. They actually mean it when they say country first.

[Brewman_Jax]

16. That would work

if the criminals had a conscience.

[Fuzz]

20. We could take up a collection for some hari kari knives and

send them to the appropriate people with a little note.

I think you know what to do.

Signed,

The American Taxpayer

[leeroysphitz]

17. No. The rich are PUSHING us all down. n/t

[slackmaster]

19. The poor are pretty much powerless

They're just trying to survive.
