5. "Why should the disadvantaged have all the advantages?"

That seems to be the going meme these days. I heard a commercial the other day for a ripoff artist called incomeathome.com, that talked about how the poor are getting all the lucky tax breaks and handouts today. Seriously. They are trying to claim that the poor have more money and are wealthier than the rich.

“Normally, I would firmly agree that raising taxes on people who make over $250,000 a year would not make a meaningful difference in the way they spend money. But I worry that these aren’t normal times and that even this income group may be sensitive,” Zandi said.

9. The guilty are always overly sensitive about their own wrongdoing

mention the effects of second hand smoke on health to a chain smoker with young children in the house and you'll get a rabid defense of smoking. Mention the fact that the wealthy get the greatest tax breaks to the uber rich and you'll get the same reaction.

8. The wealthiest have been given every advantage for ten years now. The disadvantaged

are being driven deeper into debt and an early death-which was the intent of the elite all along.

12. Blacks used to be prohibited from buying real estate in new developments

They were promoted as "restricted", which was a code word for discrimination. Hence, black people did not get to buy real estate that appreciated in value during the boom in the 1970s.
