Oh the hypocrisy is never ending yet you defend them. Why? Because they are democrats.

I guess if far right propaganda about liberals were true (and it isn't) it would be hypocritical, but since liberals aren't actually opposed to the concept of a person being wealthy, it's just stupid.

Nah, libs are opposed to a person being wealthy as long as it's a democrat.

Liberals mud-slinging at Mitt Romney because he is rich. The level of hypocrisy tells me that Obama and his trolls are so bereft of anything to offer the voters that they insult them with this class warfare garbage about “millionaires and billionaires.”

President Obama, according to a May 15, 2012 USA Today news article, “is a wealthy man with assets of as much as $10 million. Moreover, “he has a hefty stake in JP Morgan Chase, the megabank…with an account worth between 500,000 and $1 million.”

Rich Liberal Hypocrites!

Ah, so now there is no issue with you on this because in fact you say she actually makes more and pays more than you do. So this is nothing more than fake outrage.

Pelosi’s 2011 financial disclosure statement included between $1 million and $5 million earned from partnership income with Matthews International Capitol Management, a firm that invests exclusively in Asia where much U.S. outsourcing occurs.

Being rich in America never kept anyone from being elected President. Obama and many of his Democratic Party colleagues are the wealthiest hypocrites in public office.

Rich Liberal Hypocrites!

Well tory says it isn't rigged and that people who make more pay more. So which is it? And of course the system is rigged, what do you expect when we elect millionaires as representatives, did you think they would impose higher taxes on themselves? If you don't like the wealthy running the country, then don't vote the wealthy into office.
