Title: The rich get richer...
Post by: Exterminator on September 23, 2010, 12:44:05 PM
Forbes' list of the richest 400 people in America was released yesterday revealing that 3 out of four of Indiana's wealthiest citizens have more money this year than they did last year. (http://www.theindychannel.com/money/25124131/detail.html)  If, as conservatives have been duped into believing, letting wealthy people keep more of their money results in more jobs, why is our state's unemployment higher than it's ever been?  Could it be because supply side economics is bullshit?

Those three alone aren't responsible for the whole of Indiana.  They do employ people in different areas so what's yer beef?  Are ya jealous or something?

Not jealous at all; I'm happy for them.  You obviously missed my point.

Then I apologize.  I thought it was a crack.  Guess I'm getting a tad too touchy huh?  The one thing you can be sure of though two of those three would pull out in a heartbeat if they were threatened with losing any of that income to more state taxes.  I don't know the one who is from Bloomington.

  Have you notices how there is no difference between the "compassionate Conservatives Republicans and the Cheap, far right Christan (Taliban Christians) who want to destroy Social Security, Medicare, the unions, regulations of the corporations, banks and stockmarket.  Plus want the Christian religion to be lord and master of the United States of America.  These are the same flag waving American who want to change the United States Constitution everytime they get a turd crosswise.


Have you seen such a group of piss poor candidates who are completely nuts.  But what is so bad is the people to support these crazy people.  And vote against their own benefit and for the Predatory Super Rich Capitalist who are stealing all of our money.  For the life of me, how and why these people think that the Super Rich gives a damn us common people, it is mind boggling. and outright stupid.

They own a bunch of the shopping malls in Indiana and did own the Mounds Mall. 

QuoteHerbert Simon was new to the list this year, taking the 330th spot. His brother, Mel Simon, made the list last year before his death. Forbes estimates Herb Simon's fortune at $1.25 billion.

  Are they true capitalist or predatory capitalist.  Do they want to do away with healthcare.  Do they want to destroy Social Security, Medicare and do they want to do away with the minimum wage.  What is their agenda, other than making money.  I really can't believe the care about the middle class.  Especially you.
