You don't know any wealthy people, do you?The poor live off the rich eh? I'd like to see some fat cat with manicured hands and ivory-handled golf clubs butcher a chicken, gut it and roast it up for himself. Or chop a cord of wood to warm himself over the Winter. Or mine several bushels of coal to burn....Apparently you can't read. Plus you have it ass backwards, the poor live off the rich and don't even contribute to federal income taxes. Liberals hurt the economy then complain that the economy isn't sustaining the poor. It's senseless.So you're in favor of universal healthcare too? Glad we're on the same page.
The French Aristocracy also thought anyone pointing out their dependance upon the lower classes was hilarious [or seditious]. No doubt the gilded halls rang with great guffaws of laughter just before the Bastille was stormed..and heads began to fall...
The rich are leeches on the poor. Time is money. Labor is money. And in that respect, the "poor" are the wealthiest of all. The only thing that perpetuates the misconception that it is the opposite of that is through sheer luck and/or cunning manipulation and ruthlessness, the rich find themselves nestled in their false-utopian world. And from that shakey-loft they like to amuse themselves with the narcissistic thought that "others depend on them for their very survival."
You gotta appreciate that level of irony when it presents itself.
You have no idea of the different mindset and ability that most of them carry (the ones that actually attained their wealth - not inherited).
