You can always tell the ones that earned it VS the ones that inherited it. The ones that busted their asses to get there, act like regular people. The ones that had it fall in their laps, act like what you would expect...................snobby, noses in the air, etc.

A lot of times you'll see a couple, where the husband killed himself to put together a small fortune, and the wife, (that did nothing), acts as if she's the most special thing that ever walked the earth.

I'm closer to poor than rich at the moment, and I wouldn't think of demanding a piece of someone else's money.

I just want Obama to go away, so that those of us that want to work, can get back to it. Not only do I need "well off" people, I need for them to feel comfortable about spending money. Obama has everyone in a state of economic paralysis.

This is the kind of stuff Mitten should be yelling from the roof tops!

Absolutely. Like you mentioned earlier...............I wish we could put together some of these Romney ads.
The whole point of working hard and amassing money, is to have fun spending it.

Remember the book, "The Millionaire Next Door"? These are not evil rich people. They are people that made a plan, stuck to it, worked their fingers to the bone, and saved up money. Obama wants to take it away from them.

I'd run an ad that featured some of these people describing how they started out, and the hours and years that they worked to get where they are. They should be held up as examples of what is possible in America, not demonized.

Great! Now I'm pissed off again. I really can't stand Obama and everything he stands for.

The main point is, who are the Liberals to decide whether or not anyone deserves what they have?

Isn't that being just a tad j-u-d-g-m-e-n-t-a-l?

-Dr Watt

Wealthy liberals are of course exempted from this judgement I presume?

Why am I reminded of the old story about the ant and the grasshopper?

Envy is one of the seven vices.

I am sure there are more then seven vices in this day and age.   

This is all so reminiscent of the 60"s. The Communism brand was influencing so much of the World. America was the shining beacon on the Hill. Millions upon million died under communism. Now, here we are today in this Country developing our own form of it.
