But, like i said in other thread, right wingers only take pride in their possessions and the fact that others have possessions or access to the same things as them scares the hell out of them cause they know without their possession they are NOTHING.

Left wingers usually take pride in their education, empathy, and being a compassionate human being. Right wingers are selfish scum and all they have is possession. Take that away and theres NOTHING left.
Translation.... Give us your money or your selfish scum.

I think it is funny when someone implies that rich people are conservative and poor people or lazy people (which many right folk think are one and the same) are left.

Warren Buffet? Bill Gates? And they make Trump look poor -- lolololol....and extremely selfish and self centered and ego centric and....oh I wandered off topic -- how did that happen!
Oh I've been saying.. the Democratic party is the party of the rich and the poor.

Which reminds me.. we went to a dinner and was seated at a table with a group of people we did not know. It didn't take us long to figure out they were holier than though liberals. Oh what would the poor do without them. My lord, the way liberals talk about the poor when you think no one outside your liberal circle is listening is demeaning.

China will have a stronger, better, middle class than the U.S. in about 10 years.

The "rich" are doing absolutely nothing for this country, they're holding it back. Rich people like to exploit third world countries and take advantage of people, which is exactly what they want to turn the US into.
The US is being destroyed by the leftists.

How does the top 1% destroy US? Last time I checked, Trump, Buffett, Gates, Jobs, Cook, etc. etc. etc. all belong to the 1%.

They create jobs for millions of Americans.

Gates is the only one I respect, nope, the rest of them have done very little for actual workers.

Buffet, Jobs, and the rest are all corporate shills holding the bottom 99 percent back. Jobs was a salesman, nothing more and Apple is garbage that just employs foreign workers.

The corporate shills operate companies that hire ten thousands of Americans. What have you done?

Everyone knows rich people like that. They're selfish and greedy. This is your rich people in action. Yeah they're doing wonders for the country.
LOL and YOU are screwing yourself by supporting illegal immigration. Didn't you ever hear of supply and demand. I can't understand why you don't get how an increase in labor hurts you. ROLL EYES

Since people hate the rich so much they should stop using debt and stop buying their products or services and in a renters case don't rent from them.
I don't think it's hate for rich people (or we wouldn't have the idolization of Hollywood movie stars and sports heroes) In my opinion, it's the greedy rich that what they have is never enough. They want more and more and more, and they don't care who they run over to get it. Take for instance, in Florida, the power and utility companies are pretty much monopolies. When one woman up in Northern Florida decided to invest in creating a home that ran on solar power and wells, making her totally independent from living on the grid, lawmakers got together and hastily devised a law that Florida residents must be connected to the grid or they will be evicted. They try to claim it's for sanitary reasons, but we all know it's because the power companies are so greedy, they can't stand losing one cent to another alternative.

Just look at the airlines. They don't care if you're being hassled, they just want to make as much profits as they can.
