Who are the "Makers" and the "Takers"?

Of course I can disagree with your premise. It is absolutely stupid and ignores the real problem. Warren Buffett uses the coercive power of government to shut down competition. For example, he uses the government to spend $600 million of taxpayer money on rail. Really? He has billions. He can spend his own money. He uses the government to prevent Keystone. Why? Because that oil will have to be transported someway. If it isn't by pipeline it will be by rail. Who benefits from that? Oh yeah, Warren Buffett.

But, you be a good distracted prole over Obamaphones. That will get you all good and riled up while people like Buffett are ramming it in your ass on a daily basis.

Now let's think about your premise logically. Do you really think someone as financially smart as Warren Buffett is going to allow a situation where the government gets more than he does? Now you may think that because he pays income taxes and doesn't get an Obamaphone that it doesn't make him a taker, but his crony capitalism makes him as big a taker and even worse if you ask me than the welfare queen you get all fired up about.

Now, I am not leftist, I don't arbitrarily hate corporations. I despise crony capitalism which is really at the heart of leftism

Crony capitalism can only exist through corrupt political systems and politicians. The only way we can minimalize it and ensure its decline is by eliminating the current tax system and supplanting it with a Fair or Flat tax, demand term limits of eight years for Congresspeople and Senators and eliminate all Federal subsidies. Anything Lessie's mere window dressing.

But Buffet is NOT a taker; that is absurd. He will use the system legally to limit competition and maximize his income...that is what Capitalism is all about. But when politicians allow him to influence decisions that favor his companies, then you have crony capitalism. But he is a creator of wealth and jobs and far from being a taker.

Capitalists do no work and steal from those who do work. They are useless parasites, like those who pretend to believe in their ludicrous system for the rotting scraps under their tables.

This is your brain on stupid; don't do stupid. Sometimes crap lime this is so beyond stupid that I think the authors of such blatant ignorance are doing it on purpose just to be provacative just for the sake of provocation.

Irony from a repugnant dimwit with the mental capacity of an earthworm; yes Desh, you really are THAT stupid and THAT repugnant.

Now run along dimwit and rant at someone who cares.

I don't see the posts of the Right-Wing person who says he loves America, but in the bit you quote he shows the same redneck amazement that everyone who disagrees with him (i.e. most of the educated human race) should amazingly disagree with one another about anything, as it they were normal human beings rather than the plotting ogres of his diseased imagination. It is one of the signs of the Weirdo, thinking like that: they believe the universe turns around them!

I'm amused that you think the moronic dimwitted tripe you spam this forum with as being remotely connected to education or intelligence.

lol yes lets build a statue for the button pushers and lever pullers. the great unwashed masses are so important. get real.
 
Listen guys, I INVENTED the term takers. I was using it on this board way before it went mainstream. Desh has even said that karl rove and his assistants read this site, so news networks probably do too. My term was bogarted and it doesn't mean whatever the fuck you want it to mean. Do you take out more than you put in? Then you are a taker. it is that fucking simple.
