Do many of the rich cheat the system and lobby to change the rules in their favor? Yes absolutely, many do. Greed corrupts, but laws should be fairly enforced on everyone, not just targeted on the rich.
Do we want to strangle the rich through taxation and restrictive legislation, no of course not. Lest we forget, this most prosperous nation, with the highest standard of living for all classes, was built by the mighty tiger of capitalism. The trick is making sure the tiger's leash is not too loose, nor too tight.

Since when has any president had the power over Congress to control spending? ROFLMAO
VETO you say? Humph!
Pork Barrel Spending bills are attached to critical bills that must be passed.
Line Item Veto is the answer, but Dems have always fought that.
Don't expect too much change, if she is president.
You have a wonderful pipe dream. Don't stop dreaming.
Did you know that our Government sold a gov. owned project in San Francisco?
Guess who bought it?
Nancy Pelosi's son.
Then she got through Congress about 5 billion so he could build houses on the property.
This was Urban Improvement. Hmmmmmm?
Tell me more about your dreams.

Someone who is rich (and I'm certainly not) isn't stealing just b/c they happen to be rich. Bill Gates is rich and I think he deserves it (I like this windows thing he invented, it improved the quality of my life). Why should the government confiscate people's money just because they happen to be successful?
Also if power corrupts, why do you want government to have more power? think about it. No CEO can force me to buy his product, but the government can force me to pay for all sorts of things I don't want to. (Lord Acton, the original person from the famous quote about power corrupting, is spinning in his grave. It was a warning against the power of big government!)

Hillary is rich. Checks and balances? You mean like her proclamation that she wants to take the oil companies profits (take, TAKE? Doesn't that strike fear into your heart?) and invest them in alternate fuel sources. How about her proclamation that she has millions of ideas but she does not think America can afford them? That doesn't strike you as an odd thing to say in a Capitalist society? Well, if it doesn't you are not thinking clearly.
Now on the other hand, if this were a socialist country then these statement would make a lot of sense. Hmmmm. I wonder?

No... Hillary is a communist plain and simple. If you are part of america's richest people then you probably worked really hard to get there. Why would you share that with anyone else? It just doesn't make sense. And if Hillary is elected then she will try to make the citizens of the united states communists too! I really, really dislike her and I would rather live in Iraq than live in a country ran by a weezle.

I disagree. In the last debate she said "I'm going to TAKE $10 Billion dollars from corporations" When you TAKE something that does not belong to you that's stealing. Give me all the thumbs downs you want ,It's the TRUTH something you liberals have a very difficult time with.

I can't say I really understand how trying to stop the government from taking the money you've earned is stealing. Why exactly do libs think they deserve other people's money?

So, the wealthiest Americans got that way because of stealing?
It couldn't have been because they were willing to work harder and longer than say, oh I don't know...
You?
You Lib/socialists crack me up. Whenever someone has succeeded, it can't be because of their own effort, no, they cheated and stole, s it's up the the "saviors", the Lib's to redistribute the wealth, down to those poor underachievers.
I call BS!!
