Have you ever noticed that the ones usually most engaged in class warfare against the "filthy rich" are among the most wealthy in our society? When you think of the richest people, who comes to mind? For me, I think of Wall Street bankers, trial lawyers, big-name entertainers, and corporate moguls like Warren Buffet and Bill Gates. But, aren't these among the most leftist people in our country - the very ones who rail most against the rich who get all those Republican-sponsored tax breaks?
Isn't it wonderful that none of these people stoops so low to take any of these breaks, but instead gives such a high percentage of their income in taxes to the Government and charitable donations to all those great organizations caring for the homeless, orphaned and otherwise down-trodden?
Right.
We've bailed out those Wall Street bankers (you know, the ones who consistently vote for Democrats), we continually make legislation and other policies that help foster more trial lawyers, and the media is all too eager to ask the opinion of Hollywood elitists (as if they had an opinion worth listening to). And, the largesse of the Bill Gates' and Warren Buffet's of this world to the poor is surpassed only by their donations to lobbyists and liberal politicians.
Maybe one day, if we're lucky, we could be wealthy enough to not care how much their leftist policies impact our wallets. We, too, could be among the "filthy rich."
