Hugh_Hoy Posted April 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 Ah, SD. Didn't mean to ignore your clip and paste. Just nothing to comment upon. Forgive me? BTW, nice pics u posted in another thread. :thumbup: HT...I'm not out of touch at all. A married couple with a couple of kids and a gross income of 250 grand is not (I repeat: NOT) wealthy. At least in California and many other major U.S. cities. HH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe wealthy in East Bupkus, Montana, but not here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got some secret source? Care to share it? Facts from the book, The Case Against Obama. Ah, right...a book....because books never include unsubstantiated opinionated bullshit, right? You believe what you want to believe, because you want to believe it.....you've bought the bullshit, yet again cav, because it fits with your preconceived opinions . You do this a lot..... I'm sure Obama isn't perfect, but I'd suggest a lot of the facts you listed aren't actually facts at all. Faust, please tell me you don't believe everything you see on T.V....well actually that would explain alot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cavanami Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 Fact: if the *** some *** (1/2 or so) of the trillions of bailout money were to be used to pay off all the bad mortgages, 100%, like in all the mortgages could be paid off! No...give the money to the financial institutions so they can hand out bonus money, send money overseas. Give bailout money to the US auto companies, better to let they close down plants and dealerships, put thousands out of work. ...and how is this bailout helping the US people??? I'm saying ***all *** the US people not the CEOs getting the bonus money or the financial institutions getting money with no questions asked...hmmmm, something amiss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeartThais Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 Gawd forgive me, but I am about to agree with HH. Certainly not wealthy in Silicon Valley. Maybe wealthy in East Bupkus, Montana, but not here. There would be no end to a debate on what a wealthy lifestyle includes. For some, being able to stay at a Hyatt on vacation, drinking wine instead of beer, and paying a personal trainer is a wealthy lifestyle. There are millionaires who don't consider themselves wealthy because they fly economy and buy their wine at Costco. I'd prefer just to draw an objective line somewhere. Top 2% seems reasonable. And choosing to live in Silicon Valley or Manhattan is as much a lifestyle choice as buying a yacht. Even then, there are tons of places in Silicon Valley where you can be "wealthy" on 250k. Try East Palo Alto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh_Hoy Posted April 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 Well, YOU can live in East Palo Alto if you like (for a short time, probably). I think I'd rather take my chances in Modgadishu, thank you. Still not sure what is "objective" about the 2% you're throwing out. As you indicated, can probably be debated ad nauseum. In any event, I'm certainly at odds with Obama on the definition ! HH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cavanami Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 I find that the main stream media is very biased and untruthful in their reporting. The alternative media is up and coming and less biased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
