Problem with America, most in the 80% who have 16% of the wealth think that one day they will end up rich, or identify with being rich, and let Conservatives “use” them through identity politics.
The guy making 40K now votes about gay marriage and has no clue his middle class lifestyle is being wiped out.

I agree with liberalsarecool.
The rich are no good and have too much money. Almost all of it should be confiscated and spent as the professors in our colleges indicate.
Professors have libraries and sophisticated equipment to determine the best use of someone else's earnings.
Here's the plan: earnings flow into Washington, DC and are stored in congressional refrigerators. Hard-working Senators, such as California's Barbara Boxer,then hand-truck the cash to their hybrid vehicles (less shipping & handling) and travel about the country distributing $100 bills to the needy and other worthy recipients.
You're the typical "never left the country" take-credit-for-military-invasions kind of guy.
What were the three times US saved the world from oppression?
Did Russia play into WWII in Germany or Japan? Or was it all USA?
A couple million dead frozen Germans in 1942 and Russia's agreement to enter land battle with Japan three months after V-E Day might tell different story.
BTW, I'm sure your contributions to the world are pretty impressive.
Anon: your argument is great. Just use distorted exaggerations to make a point no one is debating.
"All money", "rich are no good". Why not throw in a few "some people say".
Attacking someone like Boxer is fine. Don't vote for her. It's called a democracy. You vote for people.
Wow . . . you are probably the last guy since Anthony Blunt who is prepared to defend the Soviet's participation in WWII as contributing to the cause of human freedom. Remember, the definition of a liberal is someone who would not pick up a rifle to defend America, even of the Red Army were marching up I 95.
