How do you feel about politicians who criticize the 1% to gain popular support, yet live the same life-style at tax-payer expense? At least the rich sob 1%ers EARN their money--they don't live off the tax-payers!

Politicians are parasites. Most have never done an honest day's work in their lives, and for the leftards, nearly all fall into that category.

There's a great line in Les Miserables when Valjean is about to be set upon by Thénardier and his gang in Paris with their extortion scheme:

(approx) 'And I beheld one of the few things in the world worse than the evil rich: the evil poor.'

Yer talking through your hat. A few are sort of in that category, like former Rep Gary Condit but most are not. I can think of several right off. Go see for yourself.

Here's one for you: John Tester, MT Sen.

And; Jerry McNerney, CA Rep.

And; Mike Thompson, CA Rep.

Many were lawyers in the private life it's true. The IRS considers it honest work, I reckon you're not required to.

Not totally true. Depends on the price and if it attracts taxes.

That's totally absurd. I have known rude and greedy people at ALL income levels. I have also known kind and generous people at all income levels. I think the study is just more of the class warfare bull shlt behind a trumped up study.
