…I wonder why it seems so easy to reward greed but punish laziness.

In other words, there’s an interesting argument going around Facebook on progressive pages arguing that “when a lady hoards several cats, we call her crazy; when a man hoards stacks of newspapers, we call him nuts; but when someone hoards money/cash we put him/her on the cover of Forbes magazine.”

NR says:

Here’s a billionaire confessing that he, like just about all billionaires/millionaires are NOT job creators. It’s really consumers who help create jobs and stimulate the economy, whereas the rich just hoards their money, particularly in offshore accounts:

It is the American workforce and the customers that made these guys rich. Furthermore, people from rich families have better access to banks and government to start up their busineses.

If half the American population is not working, it is either because the jobs went overseas or have been taken by illegal/legal immigrants. So much for the free enterprise systems.

Many of our technical and scientific achievements came from a lot of poor people after World War II because they had the GI Bill to help them go to college. Without the college education, it would have taken twice or three times as long to have those achievements.

I had the television on today while I was playing with my phone and this program was on. I was only partially paying attention. Until I heard Ms Harris.

First, I have to say, Papantonio and Sharpton held their composure much better than I could have ever done.
Second, What is going on? Have the reactionary conservatives completely lost their minds? I mean, I’m really at a loss for words… which is just incredible for me.
Third, THANK YOU for being a voice of reason in a sea of madness.
