Will American's 400 Billionaires sit back do nothing, make their money of American and let America be destroyed from WITHIN? Or will America's 400 Billionaires be the "front men/women" in a revolution to change America for the Better?

1. Wow, 400??

Seems like a few years ago there was just one, or maybe two or three.

Times are great for a FEW people!

7. Seems like all of those 400 billionares

have gained from *ush's tax cuts, I myself, make $50,000 a year and on some weeks, I barely have 100 to get together for food, gas ond other unexpected essentials for 2 weeks!!!!!

2. they will do what they have always done..

6. Or, they will buy more politicians and political clout

3. Entropy

The billionarres are already dead, and all that you're seeing is the light
that is travelling at the speed of light towards your eyes, the internet and
print mirage that they are alive, and all they really represent is a big pile
of money already lost its earning power, as the power was in the earning..
and those men retired are lost to the risk edge of political change, choosing
instead cozy disney distribution aggreements. A revolution is called for,
somebody write a declaration of independence.

4. Lobby for more tax breaks

5. They will make a public display about the wonderful things

they are doing, but they will continue to do what they have done of late.

There was a story about how many luxury purchases have been done in the past five years and the percentage has gone through the roof. With the tax cuts, they are able to buy another plane or yacht or a couple of Rolls Royces.

The part the really distresses me is the amount of vulgar displys there are in this community. I saw a television the other day offered for 1 million dollars because it was diamond encrusted. I also saw diamond encrusted wheels for a Bentley. It is this kind of display that is new for the very wealthy, I think. They used to not be quite so frivolous and vulgar with expenses - big houses. luxury cars and boats were the order of the day; but this disgusting display of consumerism is over the top.

8. I wonder...

....how many are veterans of the armed forces?

And how have they sacrificed for their country?

9. Not a damned thing.

Hopefully they won't do anything else to screw us. You know who has financed the war against the the Estate tax and the New deal, of course...

10. More like what will everyone else do for the 400

They will continue to praise them and lavish them with more riches all the while praising God, praising the flag, praising their crooked businesses and when told they will line up like sheep and prepare to be sheared which afterwards they will thank the guy with the clippers.

11. WHAT ON EARTH

makes you think the give even 1/64th of a shit?

[Union Thug]

12. yeah, the billionaires give a shit about the rest of us...

And crack is a healthy alternative to butter.

[valerief]

13. Nothing. They stay billionaires thanks to Bushco and his poodle Congress.
