If thats directed at me. I do. But what 1% of the 1% do does not exonerate the 1%.
Unfortunately there is so much wrong with our society that the reform we need needs to come from everyone. Not just the oppressed.
There's a lot in the middle and on the top who aren't going to suffer right off the bat. But they will suffer when the system starts falling apart.
George Washington a fine example of a good wealthy person. Howerd Hughes another fine example. Larry Lessig another outstanding example. Yossie Hollander a fine example.
The list goes on of wealthy or just simply well off people doing the right thing. But they are not enough alone to help turn America around. Then you have people like the NSA Chief. Rupert Murdoch. Those at the G80 summit. Oil executives. Probably a million middle men working int he loan industry that KNEW better.
The list is long on both sides. Unfortunately the corrupt wealthy way outway the number of good wealthy. Making us proles extremely angry.
So fuck Oceania. They don't care about us enough to shake up their little club.

My last post wasn't necessarily aimed at you. It was just kind of a general statement about how many people here seem to hate anyone wealthy and dismiss them as greedy, soulless, evil bastards when they aren't all like that.
I understand what you are trying to say in your subsequent posts, by the way. I even agree with some of it. I am glad you at least recognize that there are decent wealthy people out there who give back to society to make this country (and world) a better place for everyone.
Another general statement: Certain people here even come off as whiny, jealous, and petty and it makes me want to puke sometimes. That's all.
