Conservatives generally believe that the accumulation and maintenance of wealth is a good thing. We like money, we admire success, and we don’t view those who’ve achieved a significant fortune with contempt. We’re aware that well-funded bank accounts provide employment, stimulate the economy, and keep the country humming along.
The left disagrees. If you’re rich, you aren’t paying your fair share. Heck, even if you’re not rich you should be taxed more. To them, the wealthy are like dragons - sleeping on a mountain of ill-gotten gold - lording over the peasants with filthy, probably-stolen, lucre that they couldn’t spend in a hundred lifetimes. No one needs all that cash, and really you should only have what you the government decides you should be allowed to keep. As we know, they never self-apply this standard. We’ve done a thousand pieces on how leftist-statism is built on a do-as-I-say-not-as-I-do foundation, but fatcat Dems keep offering new examples. It’s just so easy to point out their hypocrisy, that we’d be fools to stop doing it.

Truman said “You can’t get rich in politics unless you’re a crook.” And 0bama is very, very rich.
All big fortunes start with a crime. /s
Gee Barry, is that wise? Remember, Trump's anti-climate-change policies are going to make the oceans rise like crazy any week now.
It’s a shame that Obama and his husband don’t live under a bridge somewhere.
