The problem with you guys is you spend your effort biting the hand that is feeding you, instead of working with them to achieve the goals of the company. The whiney bitches always get left in the weeds and rightfully so.

I'm doing pretty well. I'm an IT Lead for a major defense contractor. I haven't been left in the weeds at all.

Yes, and the other 75% are owned by Arabs and Chinese.

Here's a safe bet. If Rhat ever advises you to do anything, do the opposite. This is a sure thing.

Personally I would have no joy in being a victim of Stockholm syndrome. To each his own I guess.

39% of their income is sure as fuck theft.

If you possess the superior intellect, then it should be no problem for you to point out the logical fallacies and other problems of their position or post without having to debase yourself by resorting to ad hominem attacks.

The rich want their wars and strong military. Guess who they want to pay for it.

Hint: Their fleece is white as snow.

Also guess who they want to fight those wars for them.. and look at how they pay those folks.

I wouldn't be surprised to learn that those numbers were fairly constant. In most countries, at most times in history, I imagine that 1% of the population controls something like 25% of its wealth. I bet that was exactly what it was like in The Soviet Union under Stalin. And in France before (and after) their Revolution. And under Napolean. And in England, today. Everywhere there are people, some things keep happening. That's one of them.

this ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ it has always been that way and always will.

Yet they're paying 37% of the income tax.

Sounds like a lot of folks aren't paying their "fair share".

Assuming of course that income tax is anything more than legalized theft.....which it isn't.

Darned good thing the progressives don't envy the rich. Since they don't this must be one of those meaningless statistics like how many people in montana are left-handed, or how many left-handed montanaites belong to the lion's club.
