Most of the hollywood "elite" have a high school education and have made millions. This gives them some kind of false superiority complex whereby they feel they know what is right for the common folk, who are wholly incapable of making said decisions. They push for socialist policies that divest people of any decision making ability (ie, social security because people can save for themselves).

If that doesn't do it for you, then I offer another thoery. Most of these celebrities you refer to live lives that are not rooted in reality. As such, they believe that some sort of a utopia-like state is possible. Thus, they back policies that promote the attainment of this perfect world. Welfare and other redistribution of wealth policies, as well as their stance on peace.

That's all I have now. I'll try to put forth some other theories if I think of any.

pretty much EXACTLY what chan said in the first paragraph.

that and many of the people there are just trying to fit in. not too much unlike kids at a&m who really don't know why they're republican, have no idea what they believe in, why they believe in it, or why they dislike dems, but godammit, they're as FAR right as you can get and that makes them cool.

same difference w/ the exception that the LEFT is way more uneducated on the whole.

spent a week in LA and finally just blew up at this chick who said we were "stealing" iraqi oil. asked her if she could give me a synopsis of her knowledge of the global commodities market and how you could just sweep 5% (roughly speaking) of the world's supply under the globe...and if we were "stealing" it, she's assuming the iraqi people ever benefitted from it...they didn't.

i then asked her what she thought about the UN...she praised them...i then told her the only person who's EVER really STOLEN from iraq were UN employees, annan's son, i believe, in the oil for food scandal.

safe to say she stuttered for ten seconds before putting her tail b/w her legs and walking off.

both are pretty spot on.

I'd sure like to fuck that Dakota Fanning

[HeyMoe]

I agree with Chang. (Not with the above quote from the soon-to-be-arrested Agent).

If you spent every day doing drugs, traveling the world, going to parties, picking out which bentley to drive, you too would think that getting money for nothing is a great idea!

Elites live in Fantasy Land. Many of them believe in supporting their charitable causes with our money, not their own. They love to confiscate wealth through taxes and give it away.

Conservatives(and average Americans, in general) are much more likely to give money out of their own pockets than liberals and elitists.

Here is a chart of the Bidens’ giving for the years covered by the tax returns:

Adjusted Gross Income - Charity

1998 - $215,432 - $195

1999 - $210,797 - $120

2000 - $219,953 - $360

2001 - $220,712 - $360

2002 - $227,811 - $260

2003 - $231,375 - $260

2004 - $234,271 - $380

2005 - $321,379 - $380

2006 - $248,459 - $380

2007 - $319,853 - $995

Total - $2,450,042 - $3,690

Fuck those commie bastards! These are not the people we need running our country.

[Scot]

Biden clearly does not support college football or those donations would be much higher!!!
Reason #849898938249579837 not to vote for those fuckers.

Wow. People agreed with me.

Wow. People agreed with me.

hell even at your wedding your wife didn't agree with you when she said 'well since it's the best offer i've gotten lately' rather than 'i will'

I almost had to go see the Secret Life of Bees for the wife's birthday tonight. Luckily, someone at her work gave her tickets to the Avalanche game.

wow, what's the source on that biden info?

if true, that's pretty disturbing. what a piece of shit.

heard him say that FDR got on the TV the night the stock market fell and put the country at ease. only problem is FDR wasn't prez and the TV hadn't been invented.

if that was a rep that said that shit, you'd NEVER hear the end of it.

Disagree. He's actually following through on what he believes / pushes. They believe in socialized "charity." In his mind he's paying his piece; he's just doing it through taxes.

[BQ_90]

Most of the hollywood "elite" have a high school education

If even that. Besides the fact that most didn't have to really work to make their money so they have no clue about economics or taxes.

And most are potheads and crack whores and know that the libs will over look that as long as the check clears.

His tax records are public.
The FDR story was all over the blogs (not the news)

Biden is the scum of the earth.

It's all over the place. Can't remember where I actually got the list.
