Lord, I hope you were just being sarcastic.

Stop talking like that you neo con prick! you're just glad to crush the middle class so you can enslave them along with the working poor we already have! Every time a rich man makes a dollar, two are stolen from the poor, and a bunny rabbit is killed! ____________insert completely BS, rant against wealth creation here _____________________________.
