Reply #45: Yeah, but some people [View All]

are just interested in accquiring wealth and possessions.

One common misconception I see and hear alot from conservatives goes along the lines of: "The rich have money already, so they don't need more money. They will spend it, and they will give it to charity".

This was to justify the tax cuts.

But its a lie.

Maybe some will give some of their money to charity, but its usually a very small percent of what they have.

Those who do give to charity are also careful to rub it in your face (O'Reiley screaming at a 9/11 victim's son "I have given more to the families of 9/11 then you ever could" comes to mind). So its not a matter of kindness or moral character, but rather as a way to boost their ego and image.

And, like I said, people always want more. More money, more stuff, more more more.

How else would you explain the motivations behind the actions of BushCo?
