Conservatives generally believe that the accumulation and maintenance of wealth is a good thing. We like money, we admire success, and we dont view those whove achieved a significant fortune with contempt. Were aware that well-funded bank accounts provide employment, stimulate the economy, and keep the country humming along.
The left disagrees. If youre rich, you arent paying your fair share. Heck, even if youre 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 couldnt 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. Weve 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. Its just so easy to point out their hypocrisy, that wed 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.
