@averagejoe1 saidHow are you so disconnected from the concept of greed?
I hear you. You are saying that after Mr. Jones has saved enough money to live comfortably for the rest of his life, that to earn more money is to be greedy.
Is that what you are saying???
And we should stipulate on all posting scenarios that everhyone is moral and legal.....here, that he pays a fair wage, etc. (although I have no idea what he pays his employees, who choose to work there, has to do with his issue.....how much money he legally makes.)
Are you Gordon Gecko?

@averagejoe1 saidThis is because for you, greed is a way of life.
@AverageJoe1
Point of Order, why do libs jap up a post by saying 'What if he was illegal or mistrating his employees!!?!??"
It should be stipulated Forum-wide that all scenarios are above board, moral, all that good stuff. The issue itself is usually interesting enough. Like this one. That, a man should be restricted from earning.....more than he can spend??? What? I don't even get that pooint.

@suzianne saidNothing moves me to discuss the Constitution with hoopla, but show us a link where the facts lead to conservatives trying to re-write. Remember, we read it literally. It will be hard for you 'transform america!!!!!!' types to overcome that fact.
The Article V movement is hard proof that those seeking to rewrite the Constitution are conservatives, whether Republican or 'other'.
But, go for it. no opinions,, please, just facts. Sonhouse owns the opinion board. You can start by proving this article to be incorrect.
Democrats generally believe that the Supreme Court should interpret the Constitution loosely to uphold the rights of minorities and to protect civil rights and liberties. Republicans generally believe that the Supreme Court should interpret the Constitution more strictly to uphold the rights of corporations and limit the scope of government power.

@suzianne saidGovernment Helps!!???!?!?!?!?!?!? Cant believe you said that.
Where I come from, they call this 'whacko'.
Government helps FAR more people than any Corporation, focused as they are on only themselves.
Here is one of Reagan's most famous quotes. You stepped in it, I assume you get what he was saying......
Ronald Reagan “Most Terrifying Words – ‘I’m from the government and I’m here to help.’”
What do you, ms lib, define as help? Free stuff! Gimme it!!
@averagejoe1 saidWhy are you always quoting lying Republicans? Quoting Reagan doesn't help your case. He's the one who came up with "the L-word", remember?

Never mind. I can see by your posts that you consider lying to be the best characteristic of Republicans. On second thought, it might be. They've been lying to Native Americans for close to two centuries. Beats killing them, at least.
What you call "free stuff" is a return to Americans what was unlawfully kept from them by Republicans. Getting your asses handed to you at the ballot box is a full dose of karma.

@averagejoe1 saidCould you, at least, get my name right?
250 years of immorality, per suiann
Funny, what you call "immorality", we call "corruption". You all have it because it's contagious.

@suzianne saidYou never give examples. You just rave on like Sonhouse does. No examples, nothing specific. Posts with no substance are avandoned midway through.

By the way, you confuse greed with success, just a thought. If I am successful, it could be that you think I should STOP being successful and.....and what?..Sit on the porch? Why do you generalize, and not close your posts? You have said all this greed stuff and not answered such questions. If I have a lot of money, and am good at creating jobs, would you tell me to just stop it!!?? Stop it AvJoe. No more money, no more wealth, no more success.
No , that is not what you mean. So, pray tell, what are you saying ? C'mon,,,,what?

@zahlanzi saidI’ve no idea who it is in the real world I was critiquing the character that it presents here.
or a troll starved for attention.
I’d celebrate if every rational poster would ignore these baiters and they floated away like turds on an ebb tide but unfortunately they don’t.
We would probably end up excluding ourselves from 80% of the threads

@kevcvs57 saidsuzi does post often but she would not be missed and she is not responsible for 80% of the threads, so no bother there.
