hey mike,

just saw you make a complete asshole of yourself on cnbc.
go back and see what reagan did by lowering taxes in the
80's after the peanut farmer left the office. then you said
"theres nothing better then taxing the dead
millioners." hey asshole, the families of those dead millioners
are the ones paying the taxes you stupid moron. let me
tell you why bush came into office with such a surplus.
maybe b/c clinton, which is another asshole left the military in ruins.
maybe if he didn't 9/11 may not have happened you stupid
fuck! by the way mr. buffett that fuckhead uses every tax
lopehole to not pay more taxes. by the way if you fuckers
want to pay more taxes then give all your money to the
gov't and maybe you can fix all the bridges in the united states....
then again maybe we could capture osama with your help. you
stupid fucks

proud to be from a wealthy family

My coworker Ed responded with the following message. I couldn't have said it better myself:

Whoever you are, if this is really your email address, I think
you misdirected this email to us.

We don't have a Mike here, but perhaps you intended this
for a specific member of our organization?

We certainly appreciate you expression of views, however
crude, which is, of course, your entitlement as a citizen.

Best Wishes, and have a really happy day!

That dude might be from a wealthy Bush-lovin' family but they sure didn't put much money into his education, huh? Where did you get that grammar, fella, the SECOND GRADE?

Plus Steve doesn't seem to realize that ALL politicians are assholes, a little like himself, it's WHY they are politicians. In fact, Steve might consider becoming one since he is easily as grammatically smart as Dubya and well...as he pointed out...he's WEALTHY damnit.

Hilarious.

poor sentence structure and usage makes it difficullt for me to understand the sentiments people are trying to convey. dumbass reads loud and clear though...always.

I'm just confused, and I don't care enough to try to figure out what that guy's trying to say. Apparently, the rich family didn't invest in basic education.

wealth = never having to learn grammar.
