Have you ever noticed how almost all the leftist
politicians who hate and want to punish the rich with draconian tax
increases…are filthy rich themselves? Confusing, isn’t it?
Actually, once you know the truth it's really quite easy
to understand.
Take France’s new Socialist President Francois Holland.
He never stops talking about his dislike and disgust for the rich. He is almost
more obsessed with hate for the rich than Obama is. Yet it turns out Holland
is…drumroll please…filthy rich himself.
That’s right. Socialist Holland owns not one, not two,
but three homes in Cannes on the French Riviera. Unbelievable.
In America let’s think of the biggest haters of the rich.
Obama is now filthy rich. He has been since selling his autobiography after
getting elected to the U.S. Senate, and buying a $2,000,000 Chicago home (with
help from a convicted felon). Once Obama leaves the White House (hopefully
soon), he’ll spend the rest of his life getting paid millions for books and
$200,000 a pop for speeches to the business groups he hates so much.
Bill and Hillary Clinton hate the rich. They left the
White House broke and owing millions in legal fees. After quickly capitalizing
with books, speeches and foundations they turned zero into an $80,000,000
fortune in a few short years. I’ve never heard of a job like that. I’m not
referring to being President. I’m referring to hating the rich. It seems to
magically make you…filthy rich.
Al Gore is far richer than his old boss Bill Clinton.
Gore the bore is worth about one billion dollars from his TV network,
documentaries and stock options. All of that wealth is based on disliking the
rich, and trying to tax them to death in order to save the world from global
warming. But Gore uses more energy on one trip in his private jet than all of
us do in a decade of driving. And Al’s 20,000 square foot mansion uses more
electricity in a year than most of us pay for rent in a decade. And, don’t
forget Gore started out the privileged son of a U.S. Senator.
Or take New York’s disgraced ex-Governor Eliot Spitzer.
The great anti-business, anti-Wall Street crusader never bothered to disclose
that his daddy owns half the buildings on Manhattan’s Fifth Ave. I’ve never
owned one building in my life, yet I fight for capitalism every day. I am a
capitalist evangelist. Yet someone whose daddy practically owns the world’s
most exclusive avenue takes great pleasure in putting self-made rich men in
prison. Do you see the irony there? Do you see the pattern?
These people are hypocrites of the highest order. They
are angry and guilty for having never earned a dime of their own fortunes. By
dumb luck they were dropped down the right chimney, lucky sperm club members
who had everything handed to them.
So, they hate self-made rich people. Self-made men and
women remind them of what they are not. They remind them of the wealth they
never earned. Remind them of the deep-seated guilt they feel every day of their
lives. Remind them, but for the grace of God, they could (and probably would)
be riding a bus in the Bronx, headed to a blue collar job.
That’s why leftist politicians (and lawyers, media and
the Hollywood elite) hate the self-made rich so much. Because they never earned
their own money- and they know it.
I figured it out 30 years ago in college. I was Obama’s
classmate at Columbia University, Class of ’83, a blue-collar, middle class,
S.O.B. (son of a butcher) surrounded by filthy-rich, spoiled brats. Almost all
my classmates were sons and daughters of privilege. They went to the fanciest
prep schools, vacationed in Europe, lived in mansions on leafy streets in
legendary towns from Great Neck to Sutton Place to Beverly Hills. Yet they all
hated the rich. They wanted to bring down capitalism.
“Woe is me.” They were pitiful and pathetic in their
white guilt. Their act to make believe they weren’t the luckiest, most spoiled,
and privileged bunch in the world made me ill.
Nothing has changed in 30 years. The rich kids I met at
Columbia hated the rich because they were embarrassed by the tens or hundreds
of millions they had without deserving or earning it. Today they are the
mainstream media, the leftist D.C politicians, and the donors that support
them.
They still hate the rich. They just never disclose to
anyone how rich they were on the day they were born, how every door has been
opened, how everything has been handed to them their entire lives, and how
every failure has been papered over with mommy and daddy’s money.
That’s the secret. Show me a self-made man or woman and
I’ll show you a fiscal conservative. I'll show you someone that is proud of
their success and feels they deserve to keep more of their own money.
But show me a leftist politician who hates the rich, and
95% of the time I'll show you spoiled brats who inherited their wealth, power
and connections.
And the other 5% of leftists (like the Obama's and
Clintons) got filthy rich by attacking the rich. That turns out to be a very
lucrative business.
