Why do the democrats and libs hate the wealth and rich so much?

What's wrong with wanting to be rich and wealthy? Lot's of people became rich through hard work and pursuing their dreams and Ideas.

Just dreaming will not get you anywhere so you have to get off your butt and do something about it.

So if they don't like it, why don't they go ask a poor person for a job?

    They do not. Plenty of liberals are wealthy.

    Most decent people do not appreciate when the wealthy exploit others and build their fortune on government largesse and trickery.

    Envy and jealousy is what drives them. If you took all the money in the world and divided it equally, in six months the same ones that have it now would have it back. I have worked for everything I have and have done well, but the libs think this is not fair, that I should share with someone who never finished school or had babies out of wedlock when they had no way to support them. You make the wrong choices in life, you can't expect someone to take up the slack.

    You (used collectively) think maybe Obama, Pelosi, or any other member of government, whether Democrat or Republican, is poor? You think only Republicans head up companies, are stock brokers, own major league sports teams, make millions playing those sports, or make movies, videos, or cd's?

    WE? There is no "we". There is only them and us.

    Gah, people are so intensely stupid!

    Democrats don't hate the wealthy. They hate the wealthy people who are unwilling to help others in need.

    They don't hate rich people, they just believe that it is more fair to tax the rich people, who can afford to pay for themselves, more than the poor who can't afford to pay taxes and have money leftover for food.

    But I'm republican ;)

    They wish they could have wealth, but it'll never happen on welfare.
