Axe and Socialism

"Rich" is a designation you chose to use. Since you're the one that used the term, you obviously have a specific idea as to whom and how this term applies. He's just asking you to clarify your definition. Since you used it, shouldn't be too difficult. Unless you were just talking out your ass.
The point, moron, is not a designated number. You're "talking in circles" to avoid the fact that you GOPers brand anything that benefits someone other than the rich as socialism. If you want to wander off into the poppy plants with your con friends, go for it.
Ok. That's fine. It's not a "designated number." What is it then? Let's hear your definition. There still had to be some qualifier(s) that equates to rich on your mind.
Here's the point....
Use whatever number you like to refute my point.
It appears that greed has backed himself into a corner because he refuses to define rich.
No, you originally stated this:
"The GOP brands anything that helps someone other than the rich as socialism."
So, you must first define rich.
Hey idiot, you brought up socialism in the OP. So you must define socialism the way you and/or the GOP sees it.
How about you defining socialism so we can figure out the beef conservatives have with it?
This thread is the perfectly illustration of why extra brings no value and is not respected as a poster. He would rather have a 6 page, circular thread then answer a question. Not even a difficult question, one that is based on opinion, so no right or wrong answer.
For the record, I consider someone to be rich if they produce a million a year in income and have a net worth of at least $10 million, with a decent chunk of that (20-30%) in liquid, or near liquid, assets.

It's also a thread in which you stupidly ignore the fact that the original post was about socialism and not a single con cares to define what socialism means to them.
Socialism to me means that the government (collective) controls the means of production, benefits from that production flows to the collective, and is then distributed by the collective as they see fit.
So what defines rich to you?
So what defines rich to you?
And an example of that in the U S ??
$15/hour. It would create $13 Happy Meals. Disastrous.

I would qualify rich as roughly a $1 million in income on a consistent basis. $5 million in cash or very liquid assets. Total Assets of more than $ 7 million and no more than $500,000 in debt with those numbers. In summary, $1 million income(not just one hear either, but consistently), and total assets(removing debt of 500k) of $6.5 million NET! with at least $5 million in liquid assets they can turn quickly.
Interesting. You have to make at least 17 times the median household income, and 10 times the median net worth to be rich. Basically, your saying a person has to exceed the top 1% of income earners in each state by 2x to 3x to be rich.
