I guess working hard, investing well, saving your money and doing well is declaring war on people who

1) spend far more than they can afford

2) feel a need to go into massive credit card debt so they have the latest plasma tvs and state of the art phones

Yeah I guess I declared war on the stupid kids by never missing class in HS (perfect attendance four years) getting a 4.0 and early admission into Yale.

The Republocrats in general have done a good job at killing off the middle class. Thanks guys.

how do you explain the clear corolation between higher tax-rates on the wealthy, and our increased levels of economic growth?

that wasn't true in the 20's. and in the 50's we were the only surviving economic super power. Reagan's administration was very good in terms of growth and clinton benefited from the dot com bubble

and guess what-the times you speak of, the poor and middle class carried MORE of the total income tax burden

your claim of class warfare is juvenile-doing well is not declaring war on the untalented

And look at all the **** that happened on Bush's watch. Obama may have been President during unchecked government spending, but he didn't kick that boat off. Bush spent a lot too, the deficit jumped dramatically during his tenure. Plus he got us into this forever war. That was a real good use of over a trillion dollars.

All created by the demented Reagan

a smarmy hack who studied acting in college.

I can see why the left lionizes the guy

they seek advice on international affairs from people such as Sean Penn and Martin Sheen (who failed the U of Dayton entrance exam)

Not really. Everyone on the internets has a degree from an Ivy League school. Some of them got a 5.0 :lol:

sadly for you its true with me. but the point is-doing well in school or in the work place is hardly declaring war on the loafers and slackers

if it really existed I suspect a google guru like you would have posted it by now
