Why is it hard to accept that some people have lived conservatively and financially responsible lives?

Do you find something wrong with this? Does it bother you that some people are better off through their own hard work and forward-thinking ability? Is this hatred for the successful why class warfare is a valuable talking point in the liberal establishment?

What gives?
Dude... stop it already. You aint doint it THAT big!!

If you were, you wouldn't be on C-D talking about it.

Ok, ok....fine. We get it. You're the Bill Gates of C-D.

Actually, just the opposite. I play on C-D because everything is on autopilot.

Can you answer my questions?

If you think things have gotten worse under Obama, you have been living in another country for the last four years OR you are one seriously biased conservative.

I agree...
Everyone KNOWS that each trillion dollar increase in the national debt is a tax bonus for the working class.
Everyone KNOWS that more government meddling is good for us all. Why, just wait till "no child can eat but what government deems good" is implemented in every school and household.
Everyone KNOWS that governments were not instituted to secure rights but to impose "fair sharing" under penalty of law.
We all KNOW that government knows how to better spend our life's work and property.
People are stupid - governments are smart.

We love BIG BROTHER !

I get it. You hate conservatives and you hate those that are better off. But that doesn't make you superior for harboring populists views. Rather it makes you a sympathizer of those who could have led more fulfilling lives if they had made good decisions throughout their lives.

Bad luck and bad decisions are entirely different things. You don't seem to be able to differentiate between the two. Why is that?


Apparently I hate conservatives and envy rich people. That's hilarious as I have not even said or implied that.

I guess when you've ran out of things to say you start inventing stuff and painting your own picture. I'm not even from this country. I don't care about money or status from my own perspective. As long as I have a steady source of income, food and a roof over my head, that's enough. I'll leave the obsessing over money to the materialistic folks.
