The evil 1%ers

[Evmetro]

If all wealth were stripped from the top 1% and distributed into equal slices of pie for everybody, there would simply be a new top 1%. Would lefties still hate the new top 1%? How many times would the newest top 1% have to be stripped of their wealth and their wealth distributed into equal pie slices for all before you would not resent the top 1%?

That's a very sad concept for an economic system, but yes, the system would still reward the same behavior. Actually that's what we do in elections; it's just that we swap out personalities at a more middle management water carrier level.

Couldn't they just pay their taxes? How about not allowing them to donate to political campaigns. If money is speech, they have an outsized speech. Money is not speech.

Isn't it true that right now the three wealthiest people in America all support DEMOCRATS?

Why don't they just sell all they own and give the government all their money?

Money is not speech.

Does the Supreme Court agree, old man?

but why does some owner of an American company who is not an American get a say in our nation through corporate donations?

Foreign-Owned American Companies By Tim Parker

Buying American, or investing in American companies, is not as easy as it once was. Foreign corporations or investors now own companies that many of us have always considered being "Made in America."

That says nothing about donations, racist.

The fact that corporations are international makes it more obvious that corporate money is not speech. This allows foreign money, which Repubs think is equal to foreign speech, to enter into our politics. How can they defend that?

First off, your premise is based on a lie. No one has spoken of stripping the 1% of their wealth unlike people like yourself that would gladly strip the bottom 80% of their wealth to give to the 1%. Nor has anyone declared that wealth is to be "evenly distributed".

Your next error revolves around the lack of knowledge as to the ideology of the Founding Fathers. It was they who wrote the liberal concept of the country opposing monopolies, corporations, inherited wealth, etc. Profit sharing was their idea, not hourly wages.

Knowing that, why would you oppose the ideology of the Founders, and also that of Christ, and virtually every other religious leader in the history of mankind save for the current crop of greedy bastards?

Hey punk, are you one of those who thinks the Supreme Court never errs?
