Well, well, well... We got the Dougie and Biskit warm and fuzzy rich guys show...

Awww, jus funnin'... kinda...

You siad all most of us need to hear, Bis, when you said you paid over $70,000 in taxes... Maybe you have confused Mudcat with Fatcat... Hey, I don't know what you do for a living but it certainly ain't playing folk music. Do you realize that you and Dougie probably represent the upper 1% of wage earners in this joint. Most folk here don't make $70,000 a year, let alone half that and work their butts off, like me, to make waht we make...

I figure, based on you taxes that you and your wife have a combined annual income in the $400,000 range. You may not think that alot of dough because you spent Christmas with friends who pay $400,000 a year in taxes which means they are making a couple million dollars a year...

Okay, Mudcat community. Let have a big ol' cry for Biskit, making $400,000 a year and his buddy making $2,000,000...

Sniff... Does aqnyone have a Kleenex?

Okay, Bis... Ya wanta know somethin'? The American economy isn't built so that everyone can make that kind of money, no matter how hard they try... It just doesn't have those kinda overpaying jobs to go around for everyone. Might of fact, the number of overpaying jobs is purdy much where it's been. No matter how hard you work.

On the other side of the coin, the *other jobs* that the we peons perform pay have been paying less and less every year since 1981.

(Hmmmm, Bobert, isn't that about the time that Ronnie Reagan took office?...)

Since then we, the real working class, have suffered from loss of spending power year by year as those in your tax category are getting fatter and fatter...

HEY, BUSTER! We are the one's producing your friggin' wealth, not vice versa. We're the ones working on you assembly lines, building your homes and cars and the crap you *can't live without*... Labor creates 100% of wealth!!! Not 99%!!! Don't believe it? Take you friggin' $400,000 out the driveway next time it snows an' tell *IT* to shovel the snow! Tell, your $400,000 to build a car or take care of you kid at the emergency room....

Get it yet?

Nope. Didn't think so...

When the chips are down all you rich crybabies can do is recite the percentage that you pay in taxes, like some mantra. Well gol danged, Bis, you should because you and your $2,000,000 Christmas buddy, ahhh, have all the friggin' money!!!

You have folks here at Mudcat playing gigs for $50 a night... I'd dare say that a good 90% of the folks here at Mudcat never have made in a year what you pay in taxes...

Pass the Kleenex... Poor ol' rich guys don't wanta pay taxes. So what else is new... Oh yeah, it' because Bertha Williams, single working mom with 3 kids in NE Washington, DC, who's trying to support her family on her $7.50 job and is getting assistance from the Dept. of Social Services or some poor sleph who's worked all his life at Boss Hog' Widget Factory who would, ahhhh, actually like to put a fishing pole in the water but will end up dieing on that assembly line becuase Biskit and his $2M buddy think they deserve to corral all the wealth for their own danged greedy selves...

Been like that forever. There are rich greedy folks who think they are friggin' *entitled* and the rest of the population living off what they spill or drop off the table...

Like I said, pass the Kleenex... Poor ol' Biskit...

and...

beam my butt up, Scottie...
