Reply to comment by AlexanderReidRoss in Are GOP lawmakers fair targets for assassination by leftists? by EdgyIndividualistBuffoon
It's normal under capitalism to put your wealth and the well being of your family first, we shouldn't blame the rich for succeeding.
I don't think you realize just how many people there are in the 1% - we can't kill hundreds of millions of people just because they're million/billionaires. But the republican politicians are fair game because they're the ones with the hands on the trigger - directly making the policies that kill people, as well as the CEOs, lobbyists and bankers that directly control the republicans.

Why not? Their success comes at the expense of our freedom. Anyone that enslaves you should be fair game.

It's not 1% of the world population, it's just 1% of the big Western nations.

Just because the ruling classes of less affluent nations have less wealth than the rulers of America, it doesn't mean they do any less damage to their individual societies. They still keep the working and middle classes down.
