So their true colors do show, they want everything for themselves......and they have the 'muscle' to have their way, and this is supposed to make them look good? note* I am not referring to all 'rich' people as I know some are perfectly decent human beings but the ones with the 1 % mentality are a bit of an issue.

Time to end the greedy bloodlines.

How about instead work to become one of them? There is no such thing as a "greedy" bloodline, there are people who themselves or one of their ancestors did something that your ancestors did not. If your great-grandfather or grandfather had purchased 1 $40 piece of stock in Coca Cola in 1919 when it went public, that would have been worth 5 million today. We owe it to our children to make sure they have a better platform to develop from than we did, however as very few families had the competence to think ahead, you are were you are today.

Once you end the greedy bloodlines, whoever of the murderers is the greediest and most Machiavellian takes over the wealth and you stand there looking like a moron with blood on your good shirt.

And replace them with thugs? To what end? You will still be as badly off or worse off. Revolutions rarely succeed in improving matters. Look at the French Revolution. Look at the Russian Revolution.

Thugs, you mean like the police? IRS? Health insurance companies? corporate slave drivers/ sociopath middle managers?

The system is designed to keep people out. That's how the rich stay rich. They're great at stepping on others without flinching.

Wealth and power should never concentrate to the levels they have. We've got some pure distilled greed at the top 1%.

Kill em all. Let their blood "trickle down"

I live in a very rich banking city. It makes me sick. I can't wait for the revolution.

Why not just burn all their 'assets' to the ground, that way rather then being dead and free of any pain.......they'll have to suffer witnessing that. :twisted:

Personally, I always loved the mindset "these greedy f*****s are so greedy and immoral, so lets do something even worse and murder all of them to show how morally superior we are" it's narcissistic at best and sociopathic at worst.

Good point I suppose, hence why I don't exactly think murder is the best plan........however I imagine people typically don't like being seen as parasites by the very wealthy so that might cause some hard feelings.

The very wealthy are parasites, getting rich upon the contributions of others.

Parasites like Jobs and Wozniac who invented a computer anyone could afford. Parasites like Sabin and Salk who eliminated the threat of polio. Parasites like Edison who invented the light bulb and replaced gas lighting with electric lighting. Parasite like Craig Venter who with his team sequenced the human genome for a dime on the government dollar.

There is a difference of opinion on this issue. To morons the rich who invent and understand the things people cannot live their lives without are parasites, whereas those who do not know anything and do not contribute anything have immense value in their person. People should worship people like Jobs, Wozniak, Bill Gates, Warren Buffett and aspire to be like them. People who are rich tend to be so for a reason, either they themselves or a relative of them did something which enough people found valuable to pay them for.

So everyone's a parasite, I can think of a number of organisms humans in general live off of. Also though it works the other way the trickle down BS is a lie, the super wealthy live off the labor of those who aren't making sh*t for the work they do so they're parasites just the same.

Why should anyone be worshiped, that's stupid. Also some rich people are there because of contributions....however there are plenty who also got their by fighting their way to the top of some corporation or whatever by stepping on people, manipulating them and exploiting labor and resources. If you honestly think none of that goes on I feel like you should start looking into how the system really works.

It's not like there are fistfights in corporations so "fighting" your way to the top tends to include being either good at your job or being good at taking credit for other people's job. If people let themselves be manipulated, stepped on and exploited they have the option to leave and go somewhere else. If they stay, then they agree with being exploited, simple as that. You make it out like a majority of rich people got there by dishonest means, I think you're jealous.

I agree. What would a psychopath invent, apart from a way to take advantage of others?
