Neither has Ibama given anyone a job.

Mark Zuckenburg earned $1.2b yesterday when his stock went up. Happy Birthday Zucko.

The most recent trust-fund baby fiasco that I can recall is when Democrats got little 12 year old Graeme Frost to give the Democrat Saturday radio response to George W Bush about vetoing S-Chip. Little Frost said that his family couldn't afford health insurance to treat his and his sister's injuries after an accident.

It turned out that the family had money and chose not to get health insurance. They sent both children to private school (which Obama now abhors as leeches and sponges), own a commercial building, and live in an upgraded townhouse.

The Baltimore Sun did a story on the family, which has since been scrubbed. See The "Not So Poor" 12 Year Old Who Rebutted Bush on SCHIP Veto and Did I Really Start A Firestorm in Washington? for details.

It's funny and sad that a Democrat hero in 2007 is a leech and sponge in 2015.

If you took a poll on how many in the general public agree with that statement, you would be shocked, horrified, and highly discouraged.

Poor buy lotto tickets and go into debt to buy things they WANT.

Increasingly they are learning to just vote for them.

“I predict he will move out of the U.S. to a another liberal country...”

I know where he is going. He’s going to Kenya to become their KING. Rightfully so since he is a native son.

I thought his “know better than Jesus” speech was lower.

ie - churches should concentrate on poverty instead of issues like abortion (murder) and gay “marriage”.

And Jesus (having an eternal perspective) declared just the opposite.

yet, those so-called “social lottery winners” sure do donate to his election campaigns. Sounds like the rich are pretty dumb - why would one continue to donate to the RATS after all they demean you for being rich?

I've had the pleasure of reciting the statistics of who pays what as far as income tax to a number of my lib friends and family members who've swallowed whole the lie that the rich pay no taxes.

I've got one close lib friend who believes every lie coming out of the mouth of Obama and other lib pols. He'd stand there and swear that the rich "pay no taxes." The first time I told him who actually pays what as far as income taxes, he stood there furiously denying what I told him. He was, of course, like all libs arguing from ignorance. But he's like millions of other Dem sheep...they believe what they're told.

Incidentally, like my friend, many well off, minority and non-minority Dem voters consider themselves "victims." They live in nice homes with multiple cars, go on trips to Vegas, but they're "victims" of those greedy, rich Republicans. Naturally, when I tell my friend about all the wealthy libs he doesn't want to believe that either.

Zuckerburg recently donated about 100 million of his clams to some education fund for inner city schoolkids. I'm sure there's many of super rich libs with enough dough to waste on the inner city kids.

The only way that money would not be wasted is if it was used to help the small pct. of inner city kids who want to get away from the hell of inner city public schools.

Obama himself, out of his own mouth, made a snarky reference to Obamaphones the other day.

Yet whenever I bring up the subject of this wasteful program, the Libs I know VOCIFEROUSLY DENY that such a program EVEN EXISTS!

Don’t waste your breath on reality with them.

When Obama or any other Leftist speaks of the “winners in life’s lottery” he implies Donald Trump, but actually means the local florist. For that is who the police state’s taxes will actually come from - there simply aren’t enough Trumps to matter.

Private client banking is for the wealthy: http://www.bankrate.com/finance/savings/private-banking-offers-perks-to-wealthy-1.aspx

People apparently need at least $500,000 to have such an account: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/11/business/to-increase-revenue-banks-go-after-affluent.html?_r=0

“And if we can’t ask from society’s lottery winners to just make that modest investment, then, really, this conversation is for show.”

Typical Marxist double-speak. He is “asking” the wealthy to “invest”...what a bunch of bull$hit! First , this is taxation, so it isn’t asking anything, it is demanding. Can you refuse to pay? As for the”invest” part, that presumes a particular project intended to make profits by providing goods and/or services. Government, by definition, doesn’t invest in anything. It merely takes money from one person and gives it to another (or to a company).

I wish that someone would call t his @sshole out for the Marxist he is.
