Well.. They surely didn’t come about their wealth by being liberals. People like Gates and Forbes came into their wealth by being hard-core capitalists. Perhaps it’s the guilt of having so much that makes them become bleeding hearts?
Tap dance all you like, but what you said was a stinky lie, you said liberals can not ever know about wealth creation, I have read about Gates, and he knows how lucky he was, and just by taking his atheism into account, there are a lot of conservative causes that he would not be much attracted to.
As I said, I’m glad you are posting more, now besides the dumb column we can add you into the liars one.
The liberal model does not account for wealth creation. all rich socialists are former capitalists or trust fund babies.
Isn’t the liberal mantra all about fairness and equality? How can it be fair that Gates stole all of that wealth from the worker? It’s no wonder he’s attempting to give it all away.
It’s funny when conservative brag about what great wealth creators they are. Just look at the solid conservative south to see the results of conservative policies. Last in almost every possible metric: wages, per-capita GDP, education, health, life expectancy, divorce rate, out of wedlock birth, etc. The wealth in the US is disproportionately created in the liberal states. California, the home of Silicon Valley, had an education system that was the envy of the world until conservatives destroyed it and now its economy is hurting. The medium we are using now came about because of govt sponsored research. A strong public/private partnership is what made this country an economic powerhouse.
I know you guys are still mad that you can’t push around black people, beat up fags, or pay women less for the same job, but get over it. I don’t think the country is ready to go back to the days before the 40 hour work week and overtime pay, when limbs were lost in unsafe machinery and miners had black lung and all the other crap associated with a “free market”.
That what you seek is called a straw man, you little grasshopper (or slimer?). No liberal here said that compromises are not possible, in fact many liberals here are of the pragmatic kind.
I think you are going for the old and discredited notion that liberals are also socialists or communists.
Apparently you didn’t get the memo. Socialist and communist are no longer terms we use (for some reason they indicate racism). The new term is “progressive.”
I only see evidence of former hard-core capitalists with a guilty conscience…
Just look around this board.. All you’ll find are very emotional pleas to take more cookies away from all those rich bastards. Because it’s just not fair.
