I never understood those who were hostile to wealthy people just because they were wealthy. I always look at the source of the wealth. Those who inherited their millions never impressed me at all e.g. JFK but those who came up from either middle class or below and managed to acquire wealth - honestly - I could admire even if I couldn't necessarily emulate them.

The class warfare and 'hate-the-rich' game Obama and the left are playing is not only divisive but dangerous. That many of the leftist proponents of class warfare, such as Barack Obama, are, themselves, rich, is simply ironic. It's unfortunate that so many Americans, living in the 'land of opportunity' are fooled by Obama and the left. His 'hate-the-rich' meme is simply a way to deflect his abject failures that have badly damaged the American economy. His attempt to, in effect, shift the blame for that to those who have been financially successful is transparent. With multimillionaire Mitt Romney as his opponent, Obama is pursuing a campaign strategy that has double benefits - if it works. I can only pray that, like his Marxist policies, it fails.

Hillary’s “hardworking white people” will not be voting for the Kenyan Pirate in the fall.

Are they racist? Who cares?
