There is nothing quite so silly as millionaire liberals (and RINO’s) raising hell about other rich people who haven’t yet been stripped of all their money by Obama’s Free S**t Army.

The obomas are getting richer and richer by the day. They have yet to redistribute THEIR wealth.
Can't wait for them to start passing it out in the name of income inequality. When I get my fair share of their cash, I'm going shopping (because they didn't build it. Someone else did that.).

If they got their money legally, the government has no right to take it away from them.

funny, I don’t remember “income inequality” as being one of the federal government’s legitimate areas of concern (enumerated powers)....

just saying...

Income inequality is the new social justice.

Another round of absurd logic by the elites.

The analysis here from Heather Boushey (Equitable Growth Institute) is so breathtakingly idiotic I wonder why it was included. Yeah, the problem is Obama didn’t focus enough on unemployment. Thank heavens for anything Obama didn’t focus on, we’re still sifting through the debris of the health insurance and foreign policy matters he did focus on.

Income inequality is growing because the Fed is artificially suppressing interest rates and flooding the stock market with freshly printed virtual cash. 0% interest means there is no way for most people to safely grow savings and create investment capital, while big investors reap insane rewards.

Oddly enough these distortions play right into the Democrat party’s need for an issue to shift focus away from Obamacare and other failures.

See:

Should have been required reading in school, instead of “Death of a Salesman”.

As Obama hammers ‘income inequality,’ gap grows under his presidency

Nothing beats Marxist Magical Musings.

“Income inequality” is for getting votes. Nothing else.

Face it, Libs.

Your messiah is just about the biggest two-faced liar who has ever walked the planet.

An Update of the Ant and the Grasshopper Story –

This one is a little different....

Two Different Versions ...

Two Different Morals

OLD VERSION

The ant works

hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.

The grasshopper

thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and

plays the summer away.

Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed.

The grasshopper has

no food or shelter, so he

dies out in the cold.

MORAL OF THE OLD STORY:

Be responsible for yourself!

MODERN VERSION

The ant works hard

in the withering heat and the rain all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.

The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs

and dances and plays the summer away.

Come winter, the shivering grasshopper

calls a press conference and demands to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while he is cold and starving..

CBS, NBC, PBS, CNN, MSNBC and ABC show up to

provide pictures of the shivering grasshopper

next to a video of the ant in his comfortable home

with a table filled with food.

America is stunned by the sharp contrast.

How can this be, that in a country of such wealth,

this poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer so?

Kermit the Frog appears on Oprah with the grasshopper and everybody cries when they sing,

‘It's Not Easy Being Green ...’

Occupy the Anthill stages

a demonstration in front of the ant's

house where the news stations film the SEIU group singing, We shall overcome.

Then Rev Al Sharpton’s assistant

has the group kneel down to pray for the grasshopper

while he damns the ants. The Reverend Al can not attend as he has contractual commitments to appear on his MSNBC show for which he is paid over two million dollars a year to complain that rich people do not care.

President Obama condemns the ant and blames

President Bush 43, President Bush 41, President Reagan, Christopher Columbus, and the Pope

for the grasshopper's plight….

Nancy Pelosi & Harry Reid

exclaim in an interview on The View

that the ant has gotten rich off the back of the

grasshopper, and both call for an immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay his fair share.

Finally, the EEOC drafts the

Economic Equity & Anti-Grasshopper Act

retroactive to the beginning of the summer.

The ant is fined for failing to hire a proportionate number

of green bugs and, having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by the Government Green Czar

and given to the grasshopper .

The story ends as we see the grasshopper

and his lazy free-loading friends finishing up the last bits of the ant's food while the government house he is in, which, as you recall, just happens to be the ant's old house, crumbles around them because the grasshopper doesn't maintain it.

The ant has disappeared in the snow,

never to be seen again.

The grasshopper is found dead in a drug related incident, and the house, now abandoned, is taken over by a gang of spiders who terrorize the ramshackle, once prosperous and peaceful, neighborhood.

The entire Nation collapses

bringing the rest of the free world with it.

MORAL OF THE STORY:

Be careful how you vote in 2014 and 2016.

The strange thing is , that his agenda will be chosen once again by the electorate this year in November.

(Democrat gains in House and Senate)ubic

IMHO
