Is class envy the best liberals can do?

We know "hope and change" are long gone. Now Obama is all about class envy and of course liberals feed into it because they are jealous of the rich.

Is dividing the country the best Obama can do?

    He can do far worse and is.

    You are SERIOUSLY underestimating what they are trying to do.

    Advice from an ethical JFK Democrat without a Socialist bone in his body:

    Can you do research?

    It's far worse than you realize.

    Spread the word.

    It's time to out these socialists and get back the Democratic Party that prized freedom and equality.

    I think only the most simple-minded liberals engage in class envy. You are also incorrect to assume that liberals are poor and conservatives are rich, that is not the case. I think I represent many liberals in that I am upper middle class and have done pretty well. The problem is (and others, including Time magazine agree with me) that wealth inequality is killing or country, and thanks to the conservative mumbo-jumbo about "trickle down" and no taxes for the wealthy and little government regulation, the problem is getting worse. Wealth shift in the past 20 years has been more than in any other previous period. That problem needs to be addressed or it will eventually be the 1% and the rest of us will be slaves.

    Envying the shiny shoe boys that crashed the economy of the 95% of us....including the guy who posted this question? That's interesting. Meanwhile the banks and other massive corporations are making more money then anytime in history. Their 'economy' is rolling in dough.

    I suppose you could make the case that some people would 'envy' the sons of #$%^&es who managed to get on the big money side of this equation. But more likely there are far more people who just weren't raised to envy people involved in sleazy actions....even if they do make out like the bandits they are. Maybe the guy that posted this question is different...I don't know the man, never met him!

    Basically the 'big money boys' in the oak paneled boardrooms of the world's largest banks, the world's largest insurance companies and the rating firms charged with informing those that buy up 'bundled' mortgages screwed the pooch...they conspired to screw the pooch...they covered up the screwing of the pooch...they spend millions of dollars to convince the public that someone else screwed the pooch and ALL of these shiny shoe boys are on the legal #$%^ list of several state governments and our own Dept. of Justice....an organization that the current GOP/Tea/Fox/Jesus party, in their role as pimps and stooges for the shiny shoe boys, is currently attempting to undermine. Stand by for more:

    This is what this next election is all about. It's about taking over the legal eagles in 'our' government so this investigation by the feds goes away. If Mitt, Pimp in Chief, for these bums 'wins', we get a new Justice Department and all this investigation goes away. But if he loses.....well......you can see where this is going. If the GOP/Tea/Fox/Jesus freak party runs the table We the People will never know the extent of this thievery.....but if they lose....well.....not too many people are going to envy these mother #$%^ers.....I rest my case!

    you're misrepresenting (and false impression) the conception's of maximum liberals. that is not "take each and each of the millionaires money and delivers it to the undesirable so each body may have an identical income." Its "Take a small area of the millionaires money for use to strengthen a nasty persons high quality of existence to a genuine looking element so as that they don't look suffering on a established foundation." Yeah, there is not any way a society will be completely equivalent economically. And sure the threat for a more advantageous existence is a powerful magnet that attracts the undesirable. yet not each body can pull themselves slightly concepts up this ladder, and that is not even unavoidably their fault. also on your idea that we favor to be "grateful for the hollow" why do not you try being decreased to absolute poverty, with out tutorial possibilities, and see how consumer-friendly that's so as that you'll climb up the monetary ladder, or to be contented understanding that someone 'else' will do it and consequently make a lot more advantageous money than their mom and dad did, even as you're stuck interior an identical hollow you've continually been in. ought to it make you sense more advantageous if the authorities took slightly of that wealthy adult men money away, and spent it to provide you a house to stay in?that can help you pay for the foodstuff you eat on a daily foundation? for sure. ought to you nonetheless have a richer man or woman, who's doing a lot more advantageous in existence than you, to gasoline your aspirations? properly yeah. and perhaps i'm not likely far adequate. perhaps Democrats ought to take slightly more advantageous money than i'm describing, and perhaps that they'd provide the undesirable guy slightly more advantageous. ought to the undesirable guy nonetheless have a lot to income from operating harder? very a lot so, sure. For the list... the Kennedys were not the in common words human beings to inherit money... in truth inheriting money is fairly of a primary occurrence... to human beings of all yet those born into the bottom practise.

    Talking about fairness is not envy. Asking why it is so hard for a hardworking poor person to become rich is not jealousy. Asking what government can do to make it such that work not family connections or how much money your father made, is the true path to success is not "dividing the country."

    Look Liberals don't hate someone because they are wealthy. What bothers us is that there income since the 1980 has skyrocket while everyone elses income has stayed flat adjusted for inflation. What where trying to do is bring everyone else back up and to do that you increase taxes on the wealthy and use it on public work programs and the consumer has money to spend and thus economy improves.

    Romney's pinned conservative hopes on ousting Obamacare:

    Link - http://www.mittromney.com/issues/health-care

    But Obamacare is Romneycare:

    It was written by the same guys who did Romneycare:

    Republicans also originated the Individual Mandate:

    And Romney defended everything about Romneycare he criticizes Obamacare for:

    By opposing Obamacare, cons are making idiots of themselves without Libs doing anything.

    Liberals work for the poor and the rich.

    Conservatives work for the wealthy.

    However, in the end, both sides work for Wall Street and the military complex.
