Not because it helps the poor and their managers. Because the free market is not what they participated in to get rich, oh no, but if everyone had the power and protection they had, then the whole system falls apart. So get back to work, bitch. Daddy needs a new government-protected yacht. Those "protections" you spew hatred towards the rich over prove it's not a free market. I never said I hated the wealthy, but nearly all wealthy people have a thinly veiled contempt for anyone earning less than billions. If you think the President would crash at your place for a weekend and would pound a beer with you, you're an idiot. He thinks your trash. <cite>wah_wah_wah posted [p:885895821] in when did c...
