He should not be allowed to have that much money anyway. He made it while asleep, on the backs of others. Let's get some poster boards on sticks and head to the streets.

I've often wondered where we would do bathroom business, though. Any thoughts?

You're a very unpleasant person

@zahlanzi saidIt is a realistic, useful question. You harbor underlying disdain for this capitalist who finds liberals to be a curious lot. You find me weird, I find you the same. So, we have this forum not to change minds, but rather to be amazed at the concepts and rationale of each other.For instance, I believe in self reliance,.. not one lib on this site has ever uttered the phrase. Tell us an oft used phrase of yours that we never utter?

That would imply i don't understand you, that something about you is mysterious.
There is nothing mysterious about you, you're transparent. You're a selfish bastard who still thinks everything that you do is because of your talent and hard work and everything anyone with less than you does is just lazyness and stupidity. And you're dumb enough to believe whatever the left is asking for they ask to come out of your pocket specifically. The billionaires have convinced you that the enemy is the person who is less fortunate than you, not them, the ones who keep you all poor.
"I believe in self reliance"
And stupid enough to believe you attained it.

@averagejoe1 saidWarren Buffet has stated that our tax system unfairly favors the rich, like him. If Republicans would agree to properly fund the IRS, those cheating on their taxes could be forced to pay. I hardly think asking railroads that have been making very nice profits, to cover a weeks worth of sick pay annually is unfair.

@phranny saidBut it never ends, don’t you see…., on the demand to use $500B to pay tuition loans Marauder said it is not that much money in the big picture. He is absolutely correct, But y’all keep coming back for more. Last month it was tuitions, this month sick leave, next month maybe new homes for illegals ? Then something else in February?

@phranny saidit's incredible to me how much you have to fight so that some workers in one particular line of work get one measly week of paid sick leave whereas other countries guarantee even months, for everyone.

Not just that but also maternity leave. Paid leave if your child gets sick, up to 30 days.
And this whiney douchebag complains as if a mother staying home to take care of her child is taking money out of his pocket and kicking him in the nuts at the same time

@no1marauder saidyou fool no one. The money (real cash money, ended up in college coffers to pay staff and expenses)....went out to those entities, and is not is not going to come back, neither from the college nor from the students, 73% of whom will blow the money on dining and travel.

Marauder, what money are they referring to, for dining and travel?
You are king of double speak, maybe a touch of BillClinton-Speak?
What money are they referring to?
@phranny saidIt is not perfect. Rich already pay 50% of our taxes. What are you planning to go for?

Billionaires are not your friends
That I am not self reliant, you must refer to Obama having said 'you didn't build that'. He was saying I had to use roads, water, price, infrastructure etc to maintain my business. You and Obama are both wrong, as my taxes paid for all that support. He also did not mention risk(s) which I take every day. Y'all dont get concept of risk. Strike out.
Billionaires who built, say railroads, are indeed friends, of union workers, and of yours, since they delivered the materials to build the house you are sitting in.
Ohhhhh Zahlanzi.......
@averagejoe1 saidThe Unions are asking the profit making rail bosses to do the bare minimum and give the workers one week of sick pay if they are too Ill to go to work. I guess you are ok with a train driver going into work whilst wobbly with the flu because they cannot afford to be off.

@averagejoe1 saidHow about funding the IRS so they have the resources to collect taxes the rich who can afford fancy lawyers owe? You claim, falsely, that the left wants to defund the police. The GOP wants to defund the IRS so the very rich can continue to steal money they owe in taxes.
It is not perfect. Rich already pay 50% of our taxes. What are you planning to go for?

“ The economic consequences of a strike. A rail stoppage that could begin as early as 9 December and could cost the US economy about $2bn a day by some estimates, with chaos hitting freight and passenger traffic.
No brakes on the gravy train. As railroad carriers implemented cuts and more grueling scheduling systems, they have reported record profits and paid out $196bn in stock buybacks and dividends to shareholders since 2010.”
