Why Democrats insist on lying about how ‘poor’ they are
NY Post ^ | 28 June 2014 | Kyle Smith

Posted on 06/30/2014 5:42:03 AM PDT by Rummyfan

Hillary Clinton claimed that, at the moment she and her husband were signing up for $18 million in book deals, that they were “dead broke.”

Harry Reid (who lives in the Ritz-Carlton Hotel) said liberals are getting bullied by Republican billionaires but the Democratic Party “doesn’t have many billionaires” behind it.

Joe Biden (family earnings: $407,000 last year plus a free house, driver, meals, etc.) claims he “I don’t own a single stock or bond. . . . I have no savings accounts . . . I’m the poorest man in Congress.” (Triple fail: Joe isn’t poor, isn’t in Congress and wouldn’t be the poorest member of it if he were.)

Right here in New York, we’ve learned that City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito, the daughter of a wealthy doctor who left a $6.7 million inheritance, took advantage of a no-interest loan intended for underprivileged New Yorkers to buy a Harlem townhouse. Then she forgot to declare the rental income on required city disclosure forms. The townhouse you and I helped buy her for $240,000 is today worth $1.2 million.

The more Democrats insist on their proletarian cred, the more absurd it gets. They’re no longer just holier than thou: Now they’re prolier than thou.

But there’s another reason Democrats can’t talk about their wealth. It’s because they can’t say, “I made it big. Follow me and you can, too.”

Yes, tough for Bill Clinton to say 'just get elected twice and then you can set up a foundation for laundering money and command quarter-million dollar speaking fees. You'll be rich in no time.'

Her (Hillary's) miscues in talking about money, though, like many political gaffes, are symptoms of an underlying problem: her likability.

She is just plain unlikeable. Detestable even...

Democrats, like RINOs, lie about everything, they never tell the truth, their god will not allow it.

The devil was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

Because the dirtbags have always been the rich party. You can go back to the days of Jefferson/Jackson and those who controlled the Democratic Republican/Democrat Party up through the Tammany Hall to the present. They have always been supported by the rich and greedy who promised bread and soup to the poor and occasionally gave them bread and water. Always at the expense of the working taxpayers and not out of their own pockets.

Because they are the ruling power elite and they scorn the common folk, but are glad to take their money.

Of course, the Dems are all for the working man, just as farmers a hundred years ago were all for the working MULE. Can’t you get it?

I don’t understand all this talk about a problem of being unlikable. I would rather spend five minutes with Hillary than five hours standing in hot coals...at least I think I would, maybe I should reconsider.

I had an argument with one of my Dem friends a few years ago. He refused to believe that any Dem donors were wealthy. I mentioned Soros and a number of other wealthy lib billionaires. I mentioned the fact that Obama had far outstripped Republicans in campaign donations. He professed ignorance and changed the subject. Of course it’s ignorance. That’s why he’s a Democrat.

“...Can’t you get it?...”

Clearly not, it would seem... I mean, I guess Billionaires like Soros, Buffet, or Bloomberg REALLY REALLY REALLY represent the “Little Guy” after all...

Their constituents are asleep and only awakened on election day.
