You didn't read my post. It's not my definition. It's the Democrats and Liberals. It's the current administration's. Money and prosperity is evil...I didn't make the rules, I'm just trying to inform everyone of the "evil people" to avoid based on those rules.

Critising the fact they sated "evil" has a correlation to wealth.
The fact is, there IS a correlation, that's why its the 99% vs the 1%.

There is no such thing as arbitrage. What the socialists amongst have forgotten is that will ALWAYS be a fact...they can't eliminate it. Like universe winding down, there is always a loss to a win.
I invite a lot people to get over it. It doesn't mean that someone who did better than you raped you.
I cannot understand how people think a country is fine and dandy and blame the rich people not paying thier fair share when 47% don;t pay a dime of income taxes.This is a serious prolem.

I can't believe people are buying this politics of envy crap.
When we speak out against wall street, it's not because they are rich, it's because they as #ing around with our economy.
When we complain about greedy rich people outsourcing our jobs to maximize their profits, it's not because we hate the fact that they make profits. It's because our country is hurting and these greedy unpatriotic assholes only care about their own wealth. But they are rich so we call them "job creators" even though the jobs they create are in 3rd world countries.
When we complain about predatory bankers, the size of their bank account is irrelevant to our anger.
When rich guys who use tax havens criticize americans for not paying taxes, we don't care that they are rich, we don't like the fact that they are hiding their money in the cayman islands and swiss bank accounts.
All rich people aren't greedy assholes, but some are, and they are the ones causing so much of our problems.
Stop falling for propaganda that turns you against your own self interest. These strategists like frank luntz come up with finely tuned wording that they know people generally don't like like "envy", or easy to support words like "job creators" and they apply it to what's going on, and they trick people into going against their self interest.
You sit here screaming "stop hating the rich! class warfare!" and in the mean time america passes laws like citizens united that turns our country into more of a plutocracy, and allows the rich to buy this country, while we sit here crying about tax codes. it's ridiculous. we are on the losing end of class warfare and they are playing with bombs, while we throw stones.edit on 6-10-2012 by mahatche because: (no reason given)

OMG! Go back to school. Read the thing in context. I based on the Administration's tax code and the campaign statements...
I thought I'd take the time to identify a few notable "evil people" based on what is apparently the Democratic/Liberal ideology of when a person starts to "go evil". Now, according to their tax plan and Obama and Biden's own campaign statements, people "go evil" when a married couple makes $250,000 in one year. (I'd like to note that while I don't give a flying flamingo who you boink or who you love the Gay/Lesbian community needs to really re-think their battle for getting recognized with legitimate marriages. Marriage is evil in the eyes of the current administration. The marriage penalty is coming back. If you're married you "go evil" at a combined income of $250,000 in one year. If you are not married you each can make up to $200,000 per year before you "go evil"...so I'm just saying. You're selling your soul to the devil if you get married...by about $150,000/year!)

I am truly excited as well. I can't wait to see what's in store for us. I mean this truly.

Yeah. And each of us have the choice to do something good or something bad for other people every day. In my experience, there has to be like 99% of people who wants to do good. But the systems we have in society rewards greedy and unemotional people, so those guys rise to the top and will do anything to keep their position in the stupid pyramids we have there.
But humanity will evolve or die. Its that simple. And I see a lot of change now! Its exciting.
