There is a difference between rich people who earn it and those who are criminals

The CEO of Nike who exploited workers in Asia working in inhumane conditions in sweatshops is criminal

Many of these rich didn't "earn" what they have and the way the Pubs talk down to people telling them to "work harder" to get ahead is intellectually dishonest because many of their heroes haven't worked hard to get ahead but rather through inheritances, sweatshops, immoral business practices etc.

Ever wonder why no liberal has a problem with Bill Gates but they DO have a problem with Walmart?

There is the difference

Seriously. Why do you have such a deep hatred for those who have a different skin color in the United States?

Simple question. Don't deny it. Answer it.
That's a different thread... Answer the question and quit deflecting

Wal-mart is the epitome of a home-grown company.....the product of blood, sweat, and tears by Sam Walton. Horrible analogy if your intent is to belittle rich people who haven't worked hard to earn what they have.

I can't answer your question, since I don't hate rich people... to do so would mean hating my father, many of my friends, and myself post-inheritance.

P.S. My father is a staunch Democrat, as are most of the wealthy folks around here - and we have a LOT of millionaires & billionaires in the Bay!

Guess Republicans hate poor people, Google said so.

Again, please provide proof that liberals hate rich people.

Here is a rich liberal

George Soros

Guess he hates himself.

The kids inherited their daddy Sams company and are not the hardworking type.

The company is cutthroat, in bed with China, offers substandard bennies to employees and chews up and spits out the real America... small business.

You are intellectually dishonest if you think Walmart is moral in its business practices.

My points are valid and state the difference and why Liberals do not hate all rich people

Congress controls the tax code. Why would you rail against the rich while ignoring that the tax code is out of their control?

Another misplaced argument from the Left. And we should trust you guys to do what, exactly, if we can't expect you to know that hating rich people isn't where your attention should be focused?

The congress, in many cases, IS the rich. How do you think they got that way (pssst.... hint.... being bought by immoral corps to bend the rules in their favor)
