I'm referring to the people who make millions of dollars stomping on anybody else they can.

I don't think people who have money buying nice things because they worked hard is bad, I think rappers having golden swimming pools while people with college degrees are living in tents is bad.

I refuse to believe CEO's work 100 times harder than factory workers. And as for deserving punishment for making millions off my books (should this happen), at this level, I'm doing every damn thing I can for unpublished writers I know and if something in the works goes through, I'll be doing even more. If I had resources, I'd be making sure a lot of artists didn't go starving.

nothing i read there excuses criminal behavior though.

i think the percentage of people comitting crimes just so they can eat (in north america) is pretty damn low.

Also: Obama is the way worse than Bush ever was. The end. If you think otherwise, your opinion is invalid.:eek:
