Oh,...those poor babies

If you can't pay attention at least pay heed!

Ed's statement is absolutely and irrefutably CORRECT!

The amount of money YOU (or I or most everyone in this forum) pay in taxes multiplied by say 2000 would not even be missed while the money Gates pays by himself would be sorely missed as it amounts to much more.

The upper 5 percent pay the taxes while the rest of us are essentially moochers reaping the benefits of the infrastructure their taxes pay.

In addition to the taxes they pay, they tend to be the employers of the rest of us. Poor people seldom are employers.

Even with your opaque glasses it is impossible to not see that.

You really have proved your case.

... using a word wrongly, is worthy of pointing out.

Ask your buddy. He will tell you he said it.

Furthermore, I didn't use any words such as "spittle", "blather" and "balderdash" to point it out. Can you say the same about your posts on this thread?

I thought not.

Handsome is, as handsome does Ed.

Is that petard your hoisted on comfortable?
