Republicans get angry when they see liberals, gays or people of color succeed. Its because Republicans are either rich elitists who don't want "common people" moving up or are jealous of successful people when they live in a trailer park and eat baloney sandwiches and live on welfare. That type prefers to scapegoat minorities and celebrities.
Do you actually believe this tripe?

You need to find out how "people of color" are doing under Obama. Look up the unemployment of black youth and the black community overall. Obama has moved more people into trailer parks and eating baloney sandwiches and living on welfare than the other president.
About the "sent from...." - when I send e-mails from my iPhone, they end with "sent from my iPhone." Many of the e-mails I receive end with "sent from my iPhone," "sent from my iPad," "sent from my Blackberry," etc.
I'm sure many of you also send and receive e-mails daily that end with "sent from...".
I'm sure it's the same sort of thing and cecilsav is not simply typing that.
I am a republican. I think it is great that you are doing well. I hope that all Americans do better financially than they are doing now.
Unfortunately, Obama is not the pathway to prosperity, but is part of the problem. A nation does not improve its wealth and prosperity through higher taxes, more regulations, and more litigation. In spite of your individual relative prosperity, the balance of the nation is suffering from the policies which Obama has instituted.
This is not a republican/democratic problem- it is one of fiscal policy and competence in leading the nation back to prosperity and reducing debt. Obama is clearly not the man for that job.
Sorry to disappoint you but the OP's situation is not unique. I am also better off today than I was four years ago. I am making more money at my current job than I did at my previous job. My small business on the side is making money. I am earning a Masters degree which I will use to make even more money. My bank accounts and investments are much healthier. And ALL of my friends are doing quite well financially also. So I am not seeing this supposed misery of an Obama administration that the right wants everyone to believe.
We are doing ok but we certainly made sure what extra money we had we plugged into our mortgage to pay off our house. We now have no debt and those who are not planning for the crap to hit the fan are going to have a rude awakening when inflation hits. And it will hit if Obama keeps spending our country into bankrupcy.
We can't afford 4 more years of Obama spending. Just how huge does he want our national debt to be. He will add 5 trillion in the next 4 years like he did in the last. Bet on it.

This is very true. They have a sense of entitlement and believe that certain types should be a permanent part of the underclass. Sadly, I have stories for days that are proof of this phenomenon.

That debt is the result of Bush's tax policies. Under President Obama new spending was lower than any time under Bush. If you don't like the 5 trillion debt, why would you go back to those failed polices and add another 5 trillion of debt under Romney?
You are neither more ambitious nor more willing to sacrifice than others. This is more "bubble talk."
And yet I have more than those with their hands out. I never collected a dime in assistance, unemployment or food stamps. I did work as many as 3 part time jobs at a given time. I have never failed to put money in my retirement. Even if it was only a few bucks.
Finally how do you know what my sacrices have been?
I can assume they have sacrificed less and have less ambition based on the fact they need and I dont. I have no sugar daddy, no special connections. What i do have and in abundance is energy.
