How ignorant can one SOB be?

Appallingly sociopathic comment.

have a working guillotine we can borrow?

plus their own personal security. They are well insulated from the "little people".

but I'd hate to think what the interest rate would be, especially over an unknown period of time.

Another asshole who's living in a different world.

does a fish know he is swimming in water???

Why doesn't HE loan the workers the money, at zero interest???

are the ones that launder money, right Wilbur? What were you doing at that bank in Cyprus? Maybe a committee will ask you that question in the near future?

Fuck you Wilbur...I hope you die a horribly painful, lingering death and nothing can be done to alleviate your suffering in the least. You are a piece of shit the size of Trump's ego

Lol

are you? An idiot or unable to ask anyone anything? Or, better still, it's probably because you don't want to deal w/ the rank and file, eh?

You idiotic crook.

the House to get an explanation of why he should be stripped to a salary of $20K/yr and all of his wealth.

What fools. They're the prey.

Trumpers are trained to be against "the others" minorities, Democrats, actually trained to hate them. They are more against something than they are for something. Meanwhile, as you suggest, they don't notice that they are sawing off the very limb they are sitting on.

But they do like to watch.

Let'em eat cake? or let'em eat shit? That's his attitude.

“Plenty of prisons,” said the gentleman, laying down the pen again.

“And the Union workhouses?” demanded Scrooge. “Are they still in operation?”

“They are. Still,” returned the gentleman, “I wish I could say they were not.”

“The Treadmill and the Poor Law are in full vigour, then?” said Scrooge.

“Both very busy, sir.”

“Oh! I was afraid, from what you said at first, that something had occurred to stop them in their useful course,” said Scrooge. “I’m very glad to hear it.”

During the Great Depression, while the working class sold apples on the corner, their wives worked in mansions for little and their children stopped their education and sold papers on the street corner, the multimillionaires entertained themselves with lavish ocean voyages, dining and dancing their cares away. The scurried throughout Europe and the Near East buying cargo ship loads of antiques. Some even had entire structures dissembled and shipped home to be rebuilt. If the depression hadn't have been halted by the efforts of FDR, child labor abolished, mandatory education, the 40 hour work week, social security, etc., etc. they would have stripped Europe bare.

Given their lack of compassion and insane greed we would still be living the life of desperation. This is the dream of their civilization that the wealthy what to recreate for us. It is long past the time for the working class to wakeup, take back control of government, pass protective labor laws and seize the trillions of dollars that the oligarchs have robbed from the working class. It is past time to reinstate the 90% tax codes that were imposed during the depression and remained law well after WWII.

The comment by Ross, while shocking, really shouldn't be shocking at all. We have sociopaths running our country with our lives in their hands. His is a typical response, which is devoid of any empathy or compassion, from a sociopath.

It was the same during the great depression when this speech was given 83 years ago by FDR.

The wealthy business conspirators who had planned a military controlled fascist state suddenly became more amenable to a more progressive tax code when their plans were foiled by General Butler's testimony and they faced charges of conspiracy and treason. Funny how that works.

Thanks for reminding us of the "good old days."

The wealthy have no compassion or use for the Constitution. Prescott Bush, and millionaire buddies were dealing with Nazi Germany until they were threatened with prosecution.

spaceballs have been going thru my head .

This should be a big wake up call to the US. Middle class wages have been stagnant for 50 years. These federal workers have jobs that SHOULD BE supporting middle class lifestyles, but they aren't.

These aren't fast food/starter jobs. Starting pay for TSA agents is around $25K. I can't imagine that guards at national museums, park rangers, etc are making much more. If you're employed by the federal government you should make enough that you aren't living paycheck to paycheck. You should be making enough that you don't need SNAP or EIC or subsidized housing. This is fucking ridiculous.

It's nothing after taxes, insurance premiums and pension/TSP contributions, I was taking home about $1500 net every two weeks after all the deductions, hard to live in a city on that single income, rent easily eats up half of it.

you're making.

Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross to Testify Before Oversight Committee
Jan 22, 2019 Press Release
Washington, D.C. (Jan. 22, 2019)—Today, Rep. Elijah E. Cummings, the Chairman of the Committee on Oversight and Reform, announced that Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross will be testifying before the Oversight Committee on March 14, 2019:

You, asshole are going to come before this committee and do some explaining, and then maybe you can answer your fucking bullshit about workers eating cake, after all, I and millions of others want to know what you did at the Bank OF Cyprus for the Russians.......................




November 3, 2020 cannot get here fast enough....................

enough said

What was that interest rate guaranteed at again? Was it the same 33%, compounded daily, that corner Payday Loanshop charges?

Another poster boy for toxic capitalism.

his wealth.

His assets need to be heavily taxed for the good of the country

He can't stand the unwashed masses. He can't stand those living from paycheck to paycheck. He just wants them sent away. Maybe a good war will do. Lots of peons can be killed in a good war. That's it. Cull the herd. Get rid of the people who depend on government to buy bread. They're useless and a drain on the economy. Why should the rich pay for these slobs? Cut 'em off!

But alternatively, Ross might have an iota of compassion if he were to lose his money and live on Social Security. Ross is a thief anyway. He deserves some humiliation in the wheels of Justice.

I mean, seriously, people, do I have to think of everything here?

How fucking tone deaf can someone be? Rule One in politics (as opposed to governing) is always to be aware of "optics." Sure, principled politicians sometimes choose to say something that goes against the grain, that they know opponents can and will use against them; they do so out of integrity. But this??? This was just plan STUPID.

We didn't have these types of assholes in charge when Obama was president.

wait, on second thought, leave Mr. Ed.

Probably separete wings of their estate. And should she ever have to "do the deed" I'm sure that she just counts the millions in her head as the 30 seconds goes by.

to take care of it

By not looking the shifty-eyed, lump-of-flesh directly in the eye while focusing on thoughts of both the pool boy (or girl) and the year 2030.

I guess that's why they're in Trump's cabinet.

I mean gee, when BANKS and the RICH fail they get interest free loans and "quantitative easing".
That applies to poor people out of work too right? Right?

Yeah, just borrow it from your parents, get a second job or sell some personal items. I mean it’s your fault for for living paycheck to paycheck anyway. Be more fiscally responsible next time.

....perfectly characterizes the entire Herr Drumpfenfuher maladministration.

That's his advice? Just take out a payday loan?

N/T

Get the carts ready.

Wouldn't you think if someone could get him to repeat it to the right people it could be used to help him get admitted for observation somewhere?

Ross is one of only 3 people who lied to Forbes magazine that they were worth more than they actually were. The others are tRunp and a Saudi prince. He is not a billionaire.

I'm not going to say that it's all rich. Lack of empathy seems to be mostly a conservative mental disease.

Ready the guillotines!

bankrupt steel companies. He came in sold off anything of value, took pensions and cut wages.

If you were making a movie and called central casting and said, "Get me a miserly looking evil bastard," they would come back with this guy.

will be gone. What a stupid statement.. It proves that the Republican goons, in addition to Mr.Trump are not smart enough to know when to ........ shut the fuck up ....................................

We all see now that Mr.Trump has fostered and grown this "stupidity" Perhaps Mr. Trump told Mr Ross to say what he said..But it is good, in this way we see that there are many really stupid Republicans who do not know when to shut up and not put people in trouble down......It isn't so hard?..I learned that in kindergarten and 1st grade..

But Mr. Ross hasn't got a clue, just like Mr. Trump...This is one of the stupidest things said lately....My guess is that Mr. Ross is gone by the end of next week. Good by...Mr. Stupid #2

Well, let them eat cake! said the puzzled and clueless monarch, soon to lose her head.

it little bit by little bit.
