Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.
I pledge allegiance to the Constitution as written and understood by this nation's founders, and to the Republic it created, an indivisible union of sovereign States, with liberty and justice for all.

Before I leave it behind I am using it to my advantage. You are wrong about practically everything.

Well, then I am consistent. What you view as right, I, more often than not, think is wrong.
In quoting my post, you affirm and agree that you have not been goaded, provoked, emotionally manipulated or otherwise coerced into responding.

I never told you that you had to pay me. I am paying you too. We are all paying taxes here.

All living beings have equal worth, any one who thinks otherwise is on a lower level of humanity.

Here is what I know MR V. Since I have known real wealthy people personally. I know that they are the opposite of what you are saying here a better is. The so called betters are some of the most miserable lonely people on the earth. They cannot have real relationships and it's almost impossible for them to find love because someone always only wants them for what they have. And the betters never really know who loves them and who does not. Even if someone does genuinely love them the betters will suspect that they don't really love them, so real relationships are almost impossible.
The so called betters are so lonely and have such a hard time living with themselves that they drink themselves to sleep every night. In order to build their empires or fortunes they have to do many unethical things because being unethical is the only way to get to that degree of wealth. They can barley live with themselves and barley make it through the day. They crack the bottle at night and drink it till they fall from their chair.
Conspiracy theories pale in comparison to what really goes on in the lives of the ultra wealthy. They have beliefs and practices you wouldn't even imagine. You would be called crazy if you said it out loud. But these ultra wealthy are the builders of our society, they are responsible for building society according to their beliefs and goals. They are venerated by the politicians and invited to dinner with the politicians and treated as family. This gives them pride and the feeling of a better, they feel as thought they are builders and are very important in shaping society. In return for this recognition and glory, they give mega donations to the politicians of their choosing, and they get to help decide what legislations will be passed. In order that the donations are tax free they give the donations in multiples of small amounts.
These moments of feeling important help them for a day or two and make them feel like they are doing some good in the world. But then a few days later reality sets in again and they see day in and day out the unethical things they have to do to stay at the top. The face they show to society is the proud face, and that helps them to be seen as good people. They donate to charities to help themselves to feel better. But it does not help because the weight on their conscious is so heavy that they can barley breathe.
They are alone and afraid and miserable. They loath the lower people of society looking upon them as less. But at the same time live off of the backs of those lower people, but without the lowers the betters would not exist. The betters you speak of have the saddest lives of all living beings. It is better to be poor living in a hut with a dirt floor and have someone you love and a good meal now and then. A true better knows that the life in the hut is far more superior. How sad is the life of the better. I have never seen such a sorrow as the burden of the man who owns an empire or great fortune.
It is even more sad if they get sick, because they are used to getting all of the things they want, but their money can only buy so much when it comes to health and life. They find out that all the money in the world cant save them. It is then that the great equalizer shows them that they are the same as everyone else. It is pretty harsh.
The real thing is not someone who gets to sit among the books in bliss. You speak as though you are MR Rotschilds himself. I do like you MR V. You should know that I do know what I am talking about. I know it for sure. All beings are equal MR V and what we have is not what defines us, but it is what is in our hearts, and if we have comfort, and a roof over our head, if we are a decent human being who cares for others, and does not make life hard for others, and helps another when he can. Our actions in this life are what define us.
I have no doubt MR V that you are a very decent human being. Even when you tell me that I am not smart and that I am a Marxist kook, a wine bibing whor#. I still sense a kindness behind your words, you just cant hide it MR.V. I can feel it, that is all there is to it. That is the reason that people still talk to you even though you trash them because there is something in you that is good.

Yes, you are consistent. Wrong. But consistent.
Politically what I view as right is a Constitutionally limited government that secures our individual liberties.
Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.

No. We are not all paying taxes. But we should be all paying the same rates.

No. This is simply untrue. Many of you are worth far less than you could be because you chose to be worth less. Some off us are worth more because we chose to be worth more.
It is quite simple, really.
