"The wealthy, not only by private fraud but also by common laws, do every day pluck and snatch away from the people some part of their daily living. Therefore, when I consider and weigh in my mind these commonwealths which nowadays do flourish, I perceive nothing but a certain conspiracy of rich men in procuring their own commodities under the name and authority of the commonwealth.
They invent and devise all means and crafts, first how to keep safely without fear of losing that which they have unjustly gathered together, and next how to hire and abuse the work and labor of the people for as little money and effort as possible."
Thomas More, Utopia

The rich get richer, even in these times.
"leftisthebest"
That's right Lefty which makes the taxpayer bailout of the reckless Wall Street speculators so incredibly obscene. But then what else would one expect when the financial sector has the best politicians money can buy in Congress and the White House?

Anon, if you would be so kind to enlighten me as to where Sen. John McCain was born I'd really appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
Panama Canal Zone.I bet you think you are clever or something.McCains parents were both US citizens.The magic negoes father was kenyan and his mother was 17 at the time.
Anon, I know that I'm clever. I merely wished to gauge precisely how clueless you were. Thanks for the confirmation.
The nationality of Obama's father is completely irrelevant, however, the birth location of Obama Jr. most certainly is.
Now on to the facts. Obama's mother was born in November of 1942 which would have made her 18 on 4 August 1961 when he was born in the NEW STATE OF HAWAII! Barack Obama Sr. would have been 25 at the time having been born in 1936.
Now let's see... our 44th president was born to an American citizen in the 50th state of the union but somehow, in a way that defies logic, wack-jobs of the Right have determined that he doesn't qualify for the office of President due citizenship ineligibility. The mind reels.

And people wonder why the D boys have a 36.6% clearance rate.
... due TO citizenship ineligibility of course.
