Subject: RE: BS: 58% Say The Rich Deserve Their Wealth
There is an American myth that anyone can become wealthy here just by hard work and enterprise. This is what sold Playboy magazines, the aspirations to "make it".

I don't trust this poll by the HP. I think there are a whole lot of 99 percenters
who don't think the rich deserve what they are getting while giving the poor the shaft.
Being American means that everyone pays their fair share of responsibility regardless of their incomes. The CEO's who are sitting on their capital are basically unAmerican, transferring jobs out of the country and not support our institutions. These "rich"
divide our country and buy off the law enforcement agencies who violate our Constitution and try to scare us by supporting nonsense such as the defense authorization act and the patriot act. Those who put that through congress are anything but authentic patriots. They can't be allowed to buy off our government.

We need to regulate them in the tradition of both Roosevelts. We are the government and those reps are our servants, not our masters.
