		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Comon, Anjin, the implications are fairly clear.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Only in your rather cloudy mind. What I said has nothing to do with anyone &quot;caring about the poor&quot;. I don&#039;t think anyone has even the tiniest obligation to care about the poor. You do, or you don&#039;t, not my business.

Equal protection under the law, however, it something I care about.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Please show where I have said that even once, ever..&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;But guys like bit only seem to get upset about crimes committed by poor folks.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Quit dancing, and take the hit.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Well, I am aware that you sell ads on your blog that tell folks how they can get &quot;free money they never have to pay back&quot; from the stimulus plan.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I&#039;ve already told you; Google runs those. I don&#039;t control what gets out up. Did you really think I&#039;m there changing the ads 24 hours a day?

&lt;blockquote&gt;You had to go to CANADA to come up with this crap???&lt;/blockquote&gt;

You seem to forget, I&#039;m around 40 miles from the border. MY own back yard, if you will.

&lt;blockquote&gt;See, I can play that game too.&lt;/blockquote&gt; I note you pick up on a government paid source to do so. Cute.

The people your heart should be bleeding for is the people who he&#039;s paying. Unless you have some way we don&#039;t know about to secure a job from a poor person.</description>

		<description>Bit, sorry, I was knocked off-line all day. (living in the country and all that) BUT... You had to go to CANADA to come up with this crap???

&lt;blockquote&gt;it&#039;s exactly as promised in the U. S. presidential campaign. Rich Americans are about to have their incomes pillaged through taxation, and even poor and middle class Americans will pay more, once U.S. President Barack Obama&#039;s $3.55 trillion spending plan passes. (Which, given Democratic control of Congress, it will, notwithstanding the $1.1 trillion deficit it contains.)
Next, the class warfare.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Class warfare??? you want to talk about &lt;a href=&quot;http://sociology.ucsc.edu/whorulesamerica/power/wealth.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;class warfare&lt;/a&gt;???

See, I can play that game too.

As to the larger point... awwww geeeezzzzz, some guy who makes more than 250K per year is going to have to pay an &lt;em&gt;extra&lt;/em&gt; $4.90 cents per $100 he makes over $250K...

My heart bleeds for him.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;And what else can one draw from his actions?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Well, a thoughtful person might draw many things. That would tend to exempt you... 
&lt;blockquote&gt;
It&#039;s hardly my only source of income.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Well, I am aware that you sell ads on your blog that tell folks how they can get &quot;free money they never have to pay back&quot; from the stimulus plan. As you yourself tell everyone so often, you are really a highly principled guy bitsy. Anything for a buck, eh?</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;You spend enough time droning on about &quot;soup to nuts&quot; IT work. &lt;/blockquote&gt;

Heh. Yeah, well, because that&#039;s all you can see, that&#039;s what you judge me on. Hint: It&#039;s hardly my only source of income.

&lt;blockquote&gt; You can&#039;t get off your &quot;Obama hates the rich&quot; thing, so everyone else is obsessed. :)&lt;/blockquote&gt;

And what else can one draw from his actions? What else can one draw considering the teachings of his mentors? Here again, we only ahve what we can see to go on. You apparently draw information in to fill in the blank spaces, in both cases from preconcieved notions.

Not too much a shock, I must say.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;It does seem the center of your comments around here&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Perhaps a person who is not very bright would see it thus...

&lt;blockquote&gt;And how, pray, would you know that? You&#039;ve no idea what I make, or how. &lt;/blockquote&gt;

You spend enough time droning on about &quot;soup to nuts&quot; IT work. 

&lt;blockquote&gt;this obsession you have&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Projection is an interesting psychological phenomena, no? You can&#039;t get off your &quot;Obama hates the rich&quot;  thing, so everyone else is obsessed.  :)</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Well, at least we know you would be safe from my scorn :)&lt;/blockquote&gt;


And how, pray, would you know that? You&#039;ve no idea what I make, or how. Which puts an interesting angle on this obsession you have, doesn&#039;t it?
 
&lt;blockquote&gt;Is lame &quot;success envy&quot; bs really all you have? I guess so...&lt;/blockquote&gt;

It does seem the center of your comments around here. Of course anyone who dares disagree with your politics gets the &#039;you don&#039;t care about the poor&#039; which is akin to &#039;it&#039;s for the children&#039;.
 
Bah.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;He only seems to get upset about crimes committed by folks making dime one more than he.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Well, at least we know you would be safe from my scorn  :)

Is lame &quot;success envy&quot; bs really all you have? I guess so...

Its kinda funny, because here on planet earth I have a number of friends who are quite wealthy. I have always enjoyed hanging around with people who are more successful than I because I can learn from them and draw inspiration from their accomplishments.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;I suspect we are on the same page here. Can Bernie Madoff get a fair trial in this country? I doubt it. Does he desrve one?? Ahh, now there is the crux of the question.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

(Nod) Perhaps so. But that wasn&#039;t the point was making.  And you know, it&#039;s funny; were you to ask such a question about someone who didn&#039;t have a whole bunch of money folks like Anjin would get all upset and start calling you names out of the Democrat standard book of insults. He only seems to get upset about crimes committed by folks making dime one more than he.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;But I&#039;d be careful of holding a brief for Madoff, or sloughing this off on Obama&#039;s admittedly and obviously stupid &quot;blame the rich&quot; BS.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Which is exactly why I said:

&lt;blockquote&gt;I&#039;m not defending them, &lt;/blockquote&gt;

Funny how everyone apparently missed that one.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;but it appears to me that this thing has gotten whipped up to a fever pitch because of , among other things, Obama and his &quot;evil rich&quot; meme.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Or perhaps, simply because this guy ripped of a lot of folks for a great deal of money. But guys like bit only seem to get upset about crimes committed by poor folks.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;She needs to buy consumables. Every time she goes through the McDonalds drive-through she should order 2 Big Macs, not just one.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Exactly!  There was a Richard Pryor movie about this years ago (The Toy).  She should buy a copy or two for pointers.</description>
