The giant sucking sound you hear.

Is the wealthiest 0.01% sucking up the wealth of the rest of us.

AlterNet gives us an article on where we stand as to the wealth of the people of the US. Seems we are being screwed and we of the left have known that for years but now we can see just how bad it really is. If the Tea Party Right Wing would just look at what is real and not what their filthy rich handlers want them to see, we would have a revolt.

More on the line of don't pay taxes, BugerKing is looking to move its corporate headquarters to Canada to avoid paying US taxes.

I can't boycott BK cause I already refuse to go there. Only fast food burger place to go to is Whataburger.

Not that I'm a boycott type of guy (I bought grapes when Cesar said not to), but it's difficult to boycott those you don't buy from at all and BK is one of them - has to do with quality of food not politics. This would be a very good reason to do so vs. the 2A Texas OC wanting boycotts of Chipotle, Target, JIB, etal that I never go to, either. I would love to boycott Chick Filet except I've never been in one. Guess I'm an inadvertent boycotter. :roflmao:

A suggestion for future reference:

If one suspects that there be trolls or other evil doers about, rather than calling them out in the forum, PM a moderator or administrator (ETA: or better yet, simply report the post using the "report this post" button at the bottom right of the post in question) . Calling out suspected miscreants only serves to piss people off and sometimes they're not really evil ones at all.

Let the moderators do their jobs and you get to maintain a normal blood pressure at the same time!

What could be better!?

Actually, as a regular viewer has pointed out, using the "report this post" feature...!

so yeah, I have edited my future reference note above to include the not - so - obvious solution to all those dilemmas that one is faced with on the internet.
