<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm having a difficult time grasping your point.
These people you are railing against already pay the lion share of all the

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Who got kicked in the choppers when it came to the
Chrysler/GM bailout? It sure as hell wasn't the UAW. Secured creditors and
people caught holding the "old GM" stock payed through the nose for the current
administration to say thank you to that voting block.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The fact that the pension plans were under funded
and poorly managed from the get go is the fault of the inovative, industrious,

in.</FONT></DIV>

size=2>> Again, I didn't say anything about taking it away from the hedge
fund <BR>> managers. I am just saying, why do people have to
"sacrifice" when 25 <BR>> people make a billion dollars apiece? Why
should people work their tails <BR>> off for $8.00 bucks an hour when another
man/woman makes a billion dollars a <BR>> year? What's the point?
Pull themselves up by the bootstraps? Should we <BR>> "encourage" those
guys/gals to work harder? That they are going to get <BR>>
ahead? When is enough, enough? Should we close our schools as
part of the <BR>> sacrifice? Should we go back to gravel
freeways? Should the military go <BR>> back to chuckin' spears?
Because, you know, I sure wouldn't want to stop <BR>> those billionaires from
donating at least half of their legally gotten gains <BR>> to charity.
BTW, the owner of Facebook, if he gave away 99% of his wealth, <BR>> he would
still be worth 450 million dollars. Now, that is what I would call
<BR>> a REAL sacrifice. But, can't ask him to sacrifice that much, now,
can we? <BR>> But, it's time to kick the unions in the teeth, jerk back those
pensions <BR>> that were worked for over the years, and feel some real
pain. I can't wait <BR>> til Ron Paul investigates the feds.
We'll see how far that goes. All that <BR>> money, you know, went to
those dumb bastards that paid too much for their <BR>> houses. Let the
sacrifice begin. Oh, did I miss the reading of the <BR>>
Constitution? Can't wait 'till they get to the part about "In
all Cases <BR>> affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls,
the supreme Court <BR>> shall have original
Jurisdiction." Chuck Kovis<BR>> <BR>> <BR>>
