  1. no i didn't

    the benefactors of the stealing were private individuals not the government. The government was just the conduit if this didn't exist another conduit would be found. Are you saying that if the Gov didn't exist private wealth would give up stealing? No, It would just be a lot easier with mercenaries instead of going through cost of bribes and legal maneuvers.

    Hello

    The only thing you have "mastered" is "winning" charlie sheen style. I ask you to give me examples of the rich stealing from the poor in America, and you dont provide me with one example, even after i answered your question.

  4. maybe they would rather be poor than killed.

    no one suggested that only the rich steal. The poor steal from the poor and the rich as well. Your taking comments and projecting your image of then and assuming certain things, but no one is immune to this behavior

    RC, you do know that all these bullshit philosophers you worship stole and plagiarized their rhetoric from religious texts? It's kind of funny since you seem to not want to have a religious debate when in fact that is EXACTLY the debate you are making. Anyway, carry on....

  6. you have been given many examples. you chose to think that private gain is government gain

  7. Hello

    Hello

    Whose money got stolen? Was it the bottom 50% of wage earners who paid zero dollars in taxes last year who got robbed? It was in fact the rich people who got robbed. Again i will reiterate i as a a person who actually paid taxes last year it made me extremely angry that my money got stolen to bail out a bunch of bankers. But lets be honest here, given the fact that the top 1% pay the overwhelming majority of taxes, it sure as hell wasnt the "poor" people who got robbed from the government/bankers.

    I'm disappointed as well. I was really really really hoping he could give just one tiny little example of exactly how the rich are stealing from the poor. Then I got excited when Captain Obvious dropped by and thought, maybe he will give an example. But alas, no such examples have been given. What a terrible shame. Anyone who uses the word "master" really can't be taken seriously.

  10. But the top benefit overwhelmingly from the private money system. you must look at the aggregate
