Depends on the size of that needle, I suppose.

Exactly. There is nothing wrong with being rich. It's what you do with your wealth that God is concerned with. Compare the giving of Dems. to charity with the giving of Republicans to charity. I think you would find it a striking difference.
The Dems. give in their own name. Republicans give more often in the name of God.
Toughest call I've seen since Truman vs. Dewey. I'll say Obama by the skin of his teeth.
You kidding? Where do you think half the lawyer jokes come from? And if you answered "Your old clients" I may have to file for injunctive relief.

Probably more than half--and definitely the better ones. If you have a chance, look up "Cheap Lawyer" by Frank Hayes on Youtube.

The rich create jobs for the rest of us...that is the good old days.

When convenient and profitable. If inconvenient or less profitable, they create jobs elsewhere.

I think Romney will win by a landslide.
Obama will refuse to accept it, and will call in the UN (with their on-site inspectors) to "prove" it. To put it simply....he will not go down gracefully.
Spoken like a good little serf.:chuckle:

Romney will make it profitable to remain in America.

And if you're wrong, do we get to point and laugh?

No, spoken like a small business owner who believes in the free enterprise system.

A replay of Bush vs Gore. Obama will win the electoral college but Romney will win the popular vote.
So do I, but I don't get starry eyed or slavish. Given the obscene amount of wealth in the hands of a few we shouldn't have to deal with unemployment if what you say is true.

I don't know how old you are, but from WW2 up until about 1984, we were doing OK. The big decent started with Reagan and the incessant cry for ever more deregulation. From that point on we had a series of phony market 'bubbles', crashes, and corporate feeding frenzies, all of which resulted in increasing disparity in the U. S. until we are now on par with many third-world banana republics when it comes to our wildly lopsided distribution of wealth.
Commerce, like any other human activity, needs to be regulated.

If I'm wrong, there isn't going to be much laughing going on anywhere. It will be Obama's revenge come upon this "GD" country of America which he's sought from the beginning. Reverand White will be so proud.

There has always been obscene amounts of wealth, but that hasn't stopped jobs from being created. I take it you'd rather have the government be in charge of all the wealth so they can mete it out as they see fit......like forcing us to buy health insurance, or building windmills instead missile defence.

I'll take that as "Yes, point and laugh." Thank you.
