They have counterparts sucking the tit of their respective countries, too. Lazy people are worthless.Quote:

Your mom.
Her mom?
Lesbian moms sounds about right.
Your girlfriend has a third tit on her back, and you are letting her remove it?Quote:

I'd be all for privatizing all of those too, with the possible exception of national defense.
I don't know of any people living in the projects driving BMWs that aren't at least 10 years old. I do know of many companies paying thier execs millions to drive around in Mercedes while thier workers can't afford things like healthcare, because it is slashed every year, or a nice house, because they can't get a mortgage, or to retire comfortably, because they never had the money to save and invest.Quote:

Some people will take advantage of the system, but the wealthy do it too, and to a much greater extent. You make the point that people should work for thier money, so what do you think about golden parachutes? Why do execs that fail miserably at thier jobs get to live it up in retirement anyway? Why are thier salaries increasing at rates far beyond those below when thier jobs aren't getting any harder? It's an old boy's club that needs broken to improve everyone's lifestyle. The rich will always live better than the poor. It makes me wonder what they are so worried about.
Truth. I worked at Cendant for a few months last year as a temp job data processing monkey. They were moving the job overseas and restructuring the company. The stock price has been flat for years. Yet the CEO makes over $20M a year. He's doing a bad job. Yet he still gets a fat salary and undoubtedly a huge pension. It's sad that Republicans are more concerned about imaginary "welfare queens" than shit like that. It'd take more of them than can theoretically exist (especially now, after Clinton reformed welfare - yet the R's still hate the guy btw) to make up one CEO like that.
I <3 golden parachutes.
And if you don't see Lexus SUV's and Beemers in the projects, you aren't paying attention. I bet your neighbor has one.
