6. Considerling the size of the pinata, we're going to need a big stick. nt

[Demeter]

7. Beating the 1% thieves would be MUCH more effective--and satisfying

and last for a whole lot longer.

not super rich at all

9. That's genuinely rich. Not super rich.

Each Koch brother is worth 2000 times more than Maher. THAT is super rich!

10. Can we make David Koch into a pinata and beat him?

I mean it would be very satisfying but it might not be legal.

[Merlot]

12. Is his point less valid because he has money?

What he's saying is the truth - and if someone poor said it, it would not be "more" true.

Also, a lot of poor people really do believe in "trickle-down-economics."

[azurnoir]

13. no but there is indeed irony of a sort here

he makes his money saying such things, I guess that could filed under "laughing all the way to the bank"

and on your other comment I've known quite a number of poor folks in my life and in fact have been one myself, (former welfare mother) and none of them for one single second believed that trickle down was anything but another way of saying p*ssed on
