Yes, I was being sarcastic in that post. It disturbs me that barring direct stories like this a large swath of FReepers do argue the way I just did but unironically.
Example #1: The whole takers/makers meme.
“Half our country is living off the other half.
Actually, 1% of our country is living off the other 99%.

Are you being sarcastic about the “1% vs the other 99%” too? Because that’s equally ludicrous. It’s true that a certain part of “the 1%” belongs in the “taker” category, but they make their way in the world by cultivating an ever larger audience of less ambitious “takers” who will settle for voting as instructed in return for crumbs from the tables of the “well-connected”. One wing of these ‘crony capitalists’ got together recently to compare notes and plan the next cycle of looting: http://freebeacon.com/see-no-evil/
