Why do the rich cry poverty?

I drove around Rancho Mirage CA. yesterday. The wealth is staggering. Then I got on I-10 east. $100K motor-homes and RVs, SUVs,towing OHVs. I pulled my 3 cyl. Metro (50mpg) into a huge gas stop. I saw people in jacked up , one ton 4X4 diesel P/Us fueling up. Not work trucks but ones with shiny chrome wheels and off road tires. Why all this talk about America going bankrupt when a few more % tax would fix it?

  1. crocodile tears
  2. i dont know wish i knew that one
  3. Who says rich "cry poverty" i never heard that why should the "rich" be punished for being successful? you seem jealous by the way...
  4. simple... EVERY ONE lives beyond their means... its the american way.
  5. More taxes won't fix anything. McCain/Palin '08
  6. THEY ARE LIARS, FRAUDS, AND HYPOCRITES AND WILL GO TO HELL ONE DAY, SO THE MEEK WILL INHERIT THE EARTH!!
  7. They cry, but not poverty. I agree, they should, and could, cut back on driving a Hummer in town. Who in the hell needs a Hummer in the city?
  8. u have discovered the problem with america and that is we must have everything in excess, its sad and it will be our downfall.......all you can do is look down on them cuz rich white people ruin the world
  9. Leeches on the soul of humanity Eat the rich It's all they're good for.
  10. Because a few % tax WON'T fix it. A few % more tax will just allow the spending to keep going up. We bought all those shiney chrome wheels on DEBT, not on WEALTH. What you are seeing is false. Spending in this country will come to a halt, and it won't be voluntary. Stop the spending in the government first-- repeal the national income tax, abolish the federal reserve, and close down most of the government agencies.
  11. Try working instead of driving around,M aybe you could afford a better ride,
  12. Just as you are doing now, the rich don't see themselves as rich. Compare your life and financial situation to someone else in the world, 3rd world. You are richer than you think, but you don't think you're rich. Neither do they.
  13. Claiming to be rich is bragging and uncool. I will say that it is insulting to someone that is truly poor for a wealthy person to cry poverty.
  14. because not every one has 4X4 cars with shiny chrome wheels. my dad works for 72 hours a week and he has a messed up 1996 honda accord.. thats y paying a little more tax is hard for Americans
  15. The rich stay rich - it's called greed. They watch out for their own and don't give one crap about us working class. Do you really think John McCain - owner of 12 homes and 10 cars - cares about people not able to pay their bills? Get real. That's not what the Republican platform is about. I do think the Dem's platform stands for the little guy and I see no problem with spreading the wealth. I wish I had it to spread. Just for a little while, let me struggle with that dilemma.
  16. GOOD QUESTION , THE RICH PEOPLES DON'T NEED ANYONE DEFENDING THEM , NOT WHEN THEY HAVE ENJOYED THE BUSH TAX BREAKS FOR THE RICH IN THE PASS 8 YEARS BUT THE MIDDLE CLASS OR HARD WORKING PEOPLES IN THIS COUNTRY HAVE GOTTEN NOHTING BUT HARDSHIP .LOST OF JOBS HOME AND THIER LIFE SAVING .
  17. yes, when the stock market goes below 9, 000 points.
  18. Taking from the rich and giving to the poor is a great idea for a story, but we have this ideal of the American Dream in our great country. "All men are created equal" that is unless you're rich because then you have to take care of your equals. ANYONE can pull themselves out of poverty, but it takes sacrifices that many people are not willing make. Sometimes you have to relocate to an area where success is more likely. You have to have a work ethic that is better than the norm. You can't live you life by your vices. It takes hard work, but anyone in America can be a success. But, a new thing in our society is to look down upon anyone that achieves the American Dream as an elitist. We HAVE become a nation of whiners. A nation filled with people that think it is the duty of the rich to take care of them. If we want an aristocracy of the Lords taking care of their serfs, then we should have never fought the Revolution. We are becoming a nation of people that want to be taken care of by the government from the cradle to the grave and it is a sad day. My family origins are in the Ozark Mountains, so I came from a line of extreme poverty. In the last two generations, through our work ethic, the entire family has made it to the middle and upper class and we don't think our money should be shared or redistributed to people that don't try as hard.
  19. Taxes will not get us out of this mess. You are only fooling yourself. Giveaway mentality and entitlements has gotten us into this mess. Barney Frank and Fannie Mae support of minorities mortgages is what made the economy crash. If we continue to tax the corporations which the US is the next in the world only behind Japan at 35% do you really believe these companies will take the lost. They will move overseas, lay off workers or add to the price. All of these will hurt the paying folks. Obama will raise taxes on the rest of us. 95% is b.s. 35% of people don't even pay taxes, that only leaves 60% to pay for Obama trillion dollar + plan.
