do you realize the "wealthy and privileged" are less than 2% of the population ?The 2% that control the country. They are outsourcing everything. The companies that made money off the biggest consumers in the world, are ready to outsource everything. Repubs have never gave an interest to anyone that didn't have the same resources they did growing up.

Why is it that those who demand entitlements and freebies from the government, at the expense of the "rich", consider those benefits to be thier God given right and feel that others must support them?

The "stealing" occurrs when liberal governments take from the productive and provide unearned entitlements to the lethargic and dependent. To add injury on insult, those in the dependent class demand more and more as thier inherit right to be supported and coddled by others.

Great post.

Liberals are lost. Rich liberals do the same thing but they seem to forget that when whining.

People needs to stop being so jealous and work harder and longer if they will even work at all.

So what the libs are saying is the rich successful people owe the poor lazy unsuccessful people a living.

What is wrong is the fact that 2% of us pay the majority of all taxes yet some feel that is not enough.

How about EVERYONE pay their fair share and stop rewarding losers with free food, housing, use of our roads, bridges, schools etc.

It is not right to want to steal from those who are smart enough to become wealthy.

Most rich people I know have earned their money from scratch through hard work.

Most poor people I know do not want to work or do anything to not be poor.

The lame excuse the jealous libs keep using is they really think we are dumb enough to think that only reps are rich.

So the rich greedy liberals are stealing from us also?

Thank the person who was smart enough to give your sorry butt a job because once the Obama admin gets done with OVERTAXING the company you might be working at Taco Bell soon.

Novel idea is to get poor people to earn their keep by working for their food and housing and then making them work a few hours a week and that money goes into the tax base like the rest of us pay into.

No more free rides and stealing from lazy people.

Oh sure, equal opportunity. I don't think any form of humanity is capable of true equal opportunity, at least on a larger scale.

If you can't make it in the US, with all the opportunities available, you can't make it anywhere.

The US is the most free nation in the world and anyone with enough drive and intelligence can do well. Liberals are defeatists and see only loss in a world of wealth and opportunity. Perhaps that is why they cling to the above 'beliefs", as they have convinced themselves that the system does not allow ANYONE to be successful to assuage thier hurt feelings over thier own failures.

Liberals actually believe the following-

1. rich people either stole, inherited, or cheated to become rich
2. hard work and education does not lead to prosperity
3. the "rich" are all tax cheats and only the middle class and poor pay taxes (despite volumes of evidence showing the "rich" pay essentially all the taxes in the US)
4. Liberal fail, not because they are lazy or uneducated, but because they are honest and did not have rich parents. Only the dishonest and the children of the wealthy are successful in the US.
5. Racism is everywhere and prevents every minority from becoming prosperous.

Talk to any liberal. They rationalize thier own failures with this BS and have actually come to believe the lies they tell each other.

They make up the Bush 'base' - and base they are - along with greedy, selfish and corrupt.

The idea of Republicans trying to steal anything is absolutely absurd. There are Democrats out there who make lots of money, and I know some Republicans that don't make a lot of money. Republicans making the rich richer?? Just a myth. With poverty at an all-time high, it looks like the Democrats have fulfilled exactly what they set themselves out to do, which is make America bankrupt.

No0one can steal what you never had in the first palce. But you can be a fool and give it to all kinds of crooks;both blue collar and white collar.

They can - in the form of charitable donations. But to FORCE them would be a form of govt that we don't have.
