Just when you think the Kenyan, Marxist piggy can’t go any lower.
I know a lot of wealthy people. Some are “lottery winners” who have money only because of insider government connections (people like the Obamas). Most are harder working than the vast majority of Americans - small business owners who work 70+ hours a week, or doctors/lawyers who worked harder than anyone else in college and now work 60 hours a week. Except for the crony capitalists (Obama’s rich followers), these are not lottery winners, they are people who earn every dime they have.
Believe it or not that last sentiment is very popular with many members of the ignorati i.e. Obama's base. Yes, that's right, rich people got rich from taking their money from poor people. How they did it not revealed.

The message of classism has become tired, and this particular messenger is being viewed differently now than he was mere months ago. This is what I gather from liberals that I know personally.
If I were a Democrat pol, I would want this guy off the stage. Now.
The country is hopeful for someone to come along and articulate a different path. That’s the only silver lining I can see in this very dark cloud.
But the idea they just got the right number on some cosmic ticket, rather than worked (and continue to work) hard is just justification for their situation being "unfair" to those who didn't work hard to achieve more.
What about blacks who have hit it big?
Oprah Winfrey is a billionaire. So is Magic Johnson. etc. etc.
Will they be shedding some dough? I could use a new TV.
They can moan and they can bleat. They can complain and yell bias, racism and preference, privilege and priority.
They can take all the money and redistribute it but they cannot take the intelligence, drive and determination and do anything except to diminish the drive and determination and let the intelligence go fallow and wasted.
In the end, those that want all this want the power to accomplish it, mainly for the sake of the power and control itself. I am reminded of ants and termites for some reason.
I guess you missed out on the last "protest" [riot/looting] :0)
When Obama leaves office,he will be rich so hows that play out......
I don’t get the reasoning of him and his ilk ,all rich,bemoaning the rich.
Are people that F’en stupid?
I paid my own way through college, graduated with a double major, in four years, repaid my loans on time, in full. I worked summers at a hot glass factory in Okla without AC.
My husband graduated from same college and went to work as a chemical engineer, he recently retired after 42 years, working LONG hours 6 or 7 days a week. Often he had to drive to Houston, one hour or more each way. He was up and on the road before the sun came up and got home after dark. He worked his butt off.
No lottery winners here, just hard working, tax paying, law abiding US citizens!!!!!!! And I never saw Obama here helping us!~
We still had to mow our lawn, we paint our own house inside and out. Yesterday he spent the entire day cleaning out the garage and getting things ready for a charity truck to pick up today. He is the hardest working man I know, and has only played golf one time in the past ten or twenty YEARS...
Barack Obama the greatest A55H0lE on earth!
“If I were a Democrat pol, I would want this guy off the stage. Now.”
Where is crazy Joe Biden? He seems to have slipped from sight since he decided not to run against Hillary.
Are people that F’en stupid?
Why yes. Yes they are.
At least 51% of them.
However, the American Dream pre-supposes that people work hard and make money for the purpose of making life better for their children.
To the liberal, the problem is that people are improving the lives of their own children only, and not everybody's children.

Thank you both as there are many days, many of them it seems lately that people seem to hold grievance of some sort against the hard working business person. Even us little guys...
Jealously rages in people these days. And it is a rage, even among all races.
A new neighbor was who doesn’t work hard, made a comment to me the other day that I seemed to always be working, never seem to have time to play, etc. Yet it wasn’t in admiration he said these things to me, but more in jealousy. I can afford to buy my own things. He on the other hand rents, complains about mowing the grass and yard upkeep. Complains about the garage he’s stuff with junk and can’t park in. Complains about the neighbor two doors down who works from home and drives a new car.
WE are not society’s lottery winners. We are the one’s trying to carry our own water....and his too.
Before you can take more money, you at least have to make a hand-waving gesture toward spending the money you already have efficiently.
Is there anybody, anywhere, who thinks the government is spending the money it already has efficietly?
Early Childhood Education could be fully funded with the money you could sweep up from the corners at the Department of Education, or by taking a third of the travel and training budget of the Department of the Interior.
Largest yes, greatest never! The man is the very definition of mediocre. He is unable to pour piss out of a boot even when the instructions are written on the sole.
