mg - I do not think the wealthy "sit around hoping to have more poor people".

Its just that they care about themselves more than anyone else and they are very greedy. They think they are smarter than everyone else and more deserving.

Look at the latest scandal. Wolfowitz arranges a secondment for his girlfriend. He gives her a salary increase from the World Bank that makes her more highly paid than Condoleeza Rice. She then goes to work at the U.S. State department with Liz Cheney.

Do you think its because she's qualified or do you think its because she's his girlfriend? Did Wolfowitz and girlfriend convince Bush to invade Iraq because it would bring democracy to the Middle East or because they thought they could manipulate the market? Does Wolfowitz and his girlfriend work for the Worldbank because they want to help the poor or because they want the power to manipulate the economy?

When you think of all the time and energy that they spend securing their wealth and status, don't you think that they are scheming? They may not do it to hurt the poor but by being so greedy, they hurt us all. They simply do not know how to share and they believe they are better and deserve more than the lowly masses.

They are masters off manipulation and they do it with OUR TAX MONEY and they do it on the backs of OUR LABOUR. They are no more deserving than you or I or that child in the ghetto.
