I am sooooo tired of reading clueless posts on this forum, posted with such confidence, I really, really am tired of it. The Reagan era propaganda about welfare queens in cadillacs and people who don't want to work and only want a government handout and you resent it, and you're not going to permit the government to tax your hard earned money, and blah, blah, blah. Ten thousand people, so far, and it ain't over till the 18th, and a much higher number in the same region than last year for another nearby, new Walmart job Opportunity, waiting in line, in person, hoping to get a below poverty level wage job with an employer with one of the shitiest reputations in the country.

Will you do your homework, before you post, so you don't embarass yourselves, or will you make an effort to study before you post?

The top ten percent control 70 percent of total US wealth, the next 40 percent control 27-1/2 percent, and half this pathetic, fucked country, the "land of opportuntiy in your sparkling deluded, sunshine filled eyes, controls just 2-1/2 percent of total US wealth, and many of those 150 million have a negative net worth, and the equity stake in the homes of the bottom 90 percent is their largest asset, and it is bleeding out.
Host - this was all you, not quotes, and it was awesome. I agree almost entirely. The tiny bit I don't agree with is your belief that this is simply ignorance. There are many people who simply do not care about their fellow humans. It could be the top 1% which controlled 99% of all wealth, and they wouldn't give a flying fuck if they were in the top 1%. No matter how many facts you throw at them, their "ignorance" is not ignorance, but a simple lack of empathy.
