    Not if you feel your life is in jeopardy.

    If you gun down someone for just refusing to leave your property when they aren't armed and aren't making in hostile actions, you'd have a hell of a time proving that you think your life is in danger.

    And even if you did, you'd only prove that you are a coward. Fearing for your life when some people are protesting unarmed on your property is irrational fear.

    Really? You can climb a ladder that leads downwards? Climbing a ladder is work, making it easy means you don't respect what you have.

    BTW, there are people that prove it is easy to go from rich to poor in no time, they are called lottery winners, and pro athletes and rock stars.

    Then how about Paul Ryans plan? It is an effective tax hike for those making $100k or more, and a tax break for those making under $100K/year with NO tax liability to those that already don't pay taxes?

    Proven by who? We already have a progressive system. We have had one for 70 years now. But you still aren't happy with it.

    Says who? Why?

    Did I say equal pay? No. I said close the income gap.

    The amount you make is determined by your productivity and your negotiation skills. It should NEVER be determined by the government. I do not believe in equal work for equal pay.It's called earned income for a reason. You have to earn it.

    Which is why we charge people who build houses more for nails, but give them free to anyone willing to do nothing with them?

    All American's receive the same rights and privileges from our government. That service cost $10,000 per person in 2009. There is no reason other than charity to claim any family should pay more or less than $10,000 per person for those same rights and privileges. It is reasonable and right to provide charity to our neighbors, but charity has it's limits and it is neither reasonable nor right for people to demand charity.

    You missed my point. My point was if taxes were really that harmful people would be giving up big paychecks to avoid the taxes. An income system separated by tax brackets that go up gradually do not discourage success at all. People will continue to strive for bigger paychecks. As they should. Nothing wrong with being rich at all. In fact I am working hard to make sure one day I am rich. Or at least what my family and i consider rich. (6 figures)

    There needs to be a lot more than just a march.

    Mental slip. Meant poor to rich. Though technically the path would go both ways.

    Right, just like the poor does by staying uneducated, unemployed, and spending every dime they have on things they don't need and then they are at blaming it on everyone but themselves. So you want the rich to take a Que. from the poor? If all income is voluntary, then the poor voluntarily stay poor. Liberal logic, so easy to use against you.

    That is what the TEA party has been against from the beginning. Too bad the lefty media only told you they were formed to be racist.

    Stop playing with straw men, you look like you don't have a clue of what the adults are talking about.

    If there is a crowd, you can feel like your life is in jeopardy. Hell, even if the person is bigger than you, you can feel that way. If you don't think a crowd can make you feel like your life is in jeopardy, ask the teen who was in terror when SEIU thugs showed up to his dads house.

    The cowards are the massive amounts of people that think "might makes right" and can't stand alone in a fight. You just went from saying someone using a gun 1 v 1, and then transition into using it when there is mob. Stay in context.

    And closing the income gap leads to what? When you close a door, what happens eventually?

    Yes, and people producing burgers, or fries, or what ever else is on the low end of the pay scale are a dime a dozen. Those that can run a business and produce a profit are rare. Example is all the failed businesses and all the liberals that think socialism is a viable system.

    Yet you want the government to keep people from earning too much?

    Right, and the rich earned it.

    So the OWS just graduated to terrorism. I guess that makes sense considering that we have a terrorist for a president. :puke:

    Again, the path downwards is very easy. Look at all those that get rich over night. Lottery winners, pro athletes, and rock/rap stars are prime examples. Unless they invest/save their money, when their careers are over, they are poor within a few years. The spoiled rich kid still must invest their inheritance or they lose their wealth too.

    These people forced others out of their home through misleading mortgage practices and got bonuses for it. As far as I'm concerned they're lucky they don't get ripped from their homes by the roots of their hair.

    Then these mindless deadbeats should be protesting in front of Bawney (*)(*)(*)'s, Chris Dodd's, Bill Clinton's house shouldn't they? These fools are too dumb to even know what they're doing out there. Fortunately they have nothing better to do with their lives. Why aren't they protesting their beloved universities? You know, the ones charging $400 a credit and $500 for a text book? Like I said, mindless idiots.

    There is nothing in this post I really disagree with. Though there are a lot more politicians involved than just the democrats you list above. And at least the democrats above are pushing for ways to fix the situation and return our economic policy to balance and sanity.

    So you're for campaign finance reform and reject Citizens United? And you support the many many attempts by Democrats to bring about reform over conservative opposition.

    Right.

    More evidence of the fraud that is the Tea Party.
