What they are doing is concentrating the wealth in fewer and fewer hands, and you want to kiss their a$$ and beg them for scraps. Fine, you have that option.
The wealthy are responsible for out current lot. No question about it. They are also responsible for shifting policy so in their favor that they are the only ones not suffering the consequences. And you want to continue to hand them everything they ask. Again, you have that option.
But you are right, social justice will never happen so long as there are people willing to bend over and ask to be violated. For sure, you're right about that.

I didn't say they were. I was responding to this;

So, where's the economic boom? If these people are the "job creators" as Bush called them, were are all the jobs?

So, people never move up economically then? The people with good ideas do pretty well. So do some criminals. The latter bugs me as much as it bugs you.
Social justice can never happen. It would be like asking you to stop enjoying the beauty of a woman. Some people will achieve, some won't and some will cheat.
