I love rich people. I love the companies where the CEO goes on undercover boss and finds out how hard the jobs are. Then without blowing their cover find out who the good and not so good workers are, and tries to do the right thing. Love that! We liberals have been accused of wanting to pick on the rich. I don't know about anyone else but I don't. Rich folks like Warren Buffet, Bill Gates Sr., Bill and Melinda Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Barbara Streisand, Oprah and others have done a lot of really good stuff and I am not sure they get enough credit for the good stuff they do. They are giving back. I love them for giving back and telling the GOP Tea Party Republican we don't need the tax breaks extended! We are doing just fine! I am sure that Glen Beck and Rush Limbaugh give back to the country? I know they are funny, charming, handsome men. Oh wait, Well..., they are really generous, kind men, Oh Wait, Well..., they really sure can talk it up! They get paid to tell half truths or sometimes even outright lies and they really do a great job! Nobody does it better! What has Rupert Murdock done to give back? Rupert is so inspiring? Oh Wait, Well..., the message they put out is so uplifting? Oh Wait! Well..., I know he would love to help his fellow man that is struggling. Oh Wait!, Well..., he sure is rich! Listening to the right wing pundits really puts me in a good mood and I always feel better. Oh Wait! Well..., I never heard them say you should pick a weapon and go kill Democrats! Everyone in American that isn't rich should just go start their own business or get a degree? I mean everyone has a high IQ and or the Aptitude to start a business. It's just a fact. Ask the right wing pundits. They will tell you. What happens to the slow guy? The church people will take care of them don't worry about it. Telling Americans day after day that their government is bad, their president is a Marxist, Stalinist, Secret Muslim Terrorist, Manchurian Candidate is a positive, healthy message to put out day after day, especially when it is specked with innuendo's of violence. Not to worry. Just ask Rush or Beck. There are really good rich people out there trying to do good things for this country. I think if you are rich right now it would be a good time to give back like Rush and Glen do. Oh Wait, Well..., anyway you can give back to the country that has made it possible for you to do so well. It would be a good time for the leadership of the country to give back. Both the rich, and leadership AND especially the RICH LEADERSHIP should give back by investing in America. If you are a millionaire, Billionaire, or even an half a Millionaire, Billionaire or, you happen to be a Congressman or Senator this message is for you! You can give back to America by investing in her. You could give tax incentives to rich people if they invest in new kinds of green technologies or other business. You rich folks could take a chance on a new business venture that might be a little risky instead of holding onto your tax cuts that you have had for the last ten years already. But now that the GOP Tea Party Republicans got them extended for you by extortion, (they threatened to cut off unemployment right before Christmas, in the worst economy since the Great Depression.), The country needs you now. Your fellow man needs you now. I just heard today of more death threats on another congressman. They were sent a fax with threats and graphic of President Obama's head in a noose. Another received a voice-mail threat that referenced Rush Limbaugh directly. Something about the congressman suggesting that people boycott Rush. WOW! OK I have to come clean, I think and I hope that businesses that advertise with these hate mongering right wing pundits will start to see that it is time to pull the plug on advertising with them. That would really be "giving back to America". It would give back some sense that corporations can be morally responsible and just do the right thing by not advertising with hate mongers. Hate does tend to pay apparently in America. What a shame. If the big companies stop advertising with the hate mongers then Maybe these irresponsible pundits could use their talents to also do something good. Maybe they could start a conversation about how to help their fellow man. Probably not. I can dream can't I?
