Those figures don't count the number killed in Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam or ground zero. I.E. a larger percentage of those defending freedom come from the lower ranks of the income distribution. I suppose you are in favor of a mandatory draft?

Is it news to you that the very wealthy pay the lion share of all the taxes collected?

So what is really your problem with the rich?

If your idea is what you own is all yours and can't be taken away, then look towards Americian foreign policy and criticise.
Tony
But what makes you think it is better to take it away from the people and spend it as other people see fit? Do you somehow feel entitled to your "fair share" of the fortunes made by somebody else?
When you have nothing intelligent to say just spit out anything whether it is relevant or not!

I really feel like I am patronizing you,
In any event, it seems that you find all the Americans lending a hand in the SCJD forum "considerate" enough. Or are they merely tolerated as long as they are useful?
These are all personal attacks. Just the sort of hypocracy that one can expect from certain individuals at the java ranch.

I don't have any hard feelings.

You think "Iraq attacked U.S. forces" can be mistaken for "Iraq attacked the US"? Heck, the authors of the question did not even bother to formulate "the United States attack Iraq with nuclear weapons" as "the United States attack Iraqi forces with nuclear weapons" :roll:

The more I learn about America the less I understand where I am.
Ignoring that, let's think about this... you are home having dinner and someone calls and asks you take part in a poll. They start rattling off question after question. Your dinner is getting cold and you're getting annoyed as they hit question 15, then 16, then 17. You aren't even paying attention anymore, just wishing that you had told the kid to take his poll and shove it. Why would anyone think that telephone polls with more than 1 or 2 questions would have ANY merit?Originally posted by Rufus BugleWeed:
Welcome to life in the US of A. I don't believe the average poll respondent can read at the 10th grade level.
