I noticed you didn't even begin to challenge my analogy with Selective Service. Instead, you changed the subject.
Tom, the rich don't contribute anything. The planning, managerial and administrative functions are increasingly carried out by professional managers; salaried employees like me and thee. The risks are taken by financial institutions that safely isolate Capital, insulate and hedge and tax-write off their risk, or pass it off to anonymous stockholders and taxpayers (read Bailout) from any of the criminal or financial consequences of bankrupty.
Wealth is created by human labor. The workers. The rest of those pimps in the corner officers are, at best, unproductive middlemen, at worst, blood-sucking vampires.
You may see yourself as one of them, TB, but you are just one of their victims. The term "useful idiot" comes to mind, because you make excuses for them but they have given you absolutely nothing in return.
In fact, that's why I think you are so angry all the time. You know you've been conned, you just can't bring yourself to admit by who.
