People like Hollande and the Obamas are either elitist hypocrites or they don't really believe in the socialist policies they preach about and implement for the rest of us.

That would be yes on both counts. Not an either/or question.

THey don’t really believe those “principles”. Every leftist redistribution scheme is designed to take from the productive, but not to necessarily give to the leeches. They only get a token of what’s left after the “socialists” have skimmed the best off the top. It’s not to enrich the “poor”, because that could be done much more efficiently than they’ve ever managed to, granting that they ever believed in it, which I don’t. It’s about impoverishing the productive middle class, and to their (the “redistributionists”) own benefit.

The Plebeians are too stupid to know whats happening to them.

1 IN 4 AMERICANS UNAWARE THAT EARTH CIRCLES SUN

Americans are enthusiastic about the promise of science but lack basic knowledge of it, with one in four unaware that the Earth revolves around the Sun, said a poll out Friday.

The survey included more than 2,200 people in the United States and was conducted by the National Science Foundation.

Ten questions about physical and biological science were on the quiz, and the average score — 6.5 correct — was barely a passing grade.

Just 74 percent of respondents knew that the Earth revolved around the Sun, according to the results released at the American Association for the Advancement of Science meeting in Chicago.

Government causes and takes advantage of such stupidity.

What is this #bowdown thing? It seems to have something to do with Beyonce.

Twitter confuses me.

Eh, that dress is OK, but it’s nothing to get over excited about. And why is a professional journalist using the word cr*p in her post?

Anybody can play dress up.

Doesn’t make either one of the Obamas classy.

That's a very nice dress -- quite flattering -- but I don't see $12,000 there.

I would add that beside impoverishing the middle class, the government and TPTB strive to reduce the ability of the middle class to challenge the status quo( them ).
That is why our are earnings and activities are taxed, regulated, deflated, and otherwise stolen.
It is well past time to remove these leeches and their destructive system from our lives.

And she probably threw it in the trash right after the dinner as no true elitest would dare be seeing wearing the same designer dress more than once.

The Romneys have donated more than $20 million to charity over their lifetimes

Charity, or the required Mormon payments?

Mitt Romney is a temple Mormon, he is required to pay 10% of everything to his leaders and that is investigated every two years, and he is issued ID as proof of compliance, annually.

If Mitt, or Harry Reid, or Glenn Beck don't pay, then they cannot enter the temple and must worship among the lesser Mormons in plain buildings, they also lose their place in the after life, and can never become a God, as all three of them anticipate doing.

To be honest it is a nice dress, but the reason it is so expensive is because it is a designer dress. If you have the pattern, you could probably sow it $500 or less

Yep. It's what I tell my kids: "Have you noticed that the longer these guys are in charge, the poorer we get, but the "poor" they claim to be "helping" NEVER get any "richer??"
