I like filthy rich people. They are not going to steal my car, murder me, etc. Plus, they or someone in their family probably did something really good to get wealthy in the first place. They also pay about 10 times or more the taxes that I pay, they provide more jobs, etc. Fithy rich is better than the alternative, poor people who are often stupid, and middle class people who know almost nothing about macro issues.
I like GH bush, GW bush, Arnold, Fred Thompson, Mitt Romney, Bill Frist, Pete Dupont, Steve Forbes, Tiger Woods, Charles Barkely, the late John Heinz, Pete DuPont, etc.
The Kennedys I can do without along with the Hollywood rich, but mostly the rich are the cream of our society.
Ken Lay was filthy rich. O. J. Simpson was filthy rich. George Soros is filthy rich.
Shall I continue down the list?
So do I.
Let it be said that Greenwich (Lamont's hometown) voted for Bush twice, as did New Canaan (Ann Coulter's very wealthy hometown), Darien, and Ridgefield.
Meanwhile those "salt of the earth blue collar Democrats" in West Haven, New Britain, New London, Middletown and Meriden continue to vote for the likes of Rose Delauro, Gore, and Kerry. Would be interesting to see how they voted in the primary, however.
Indeed. Does that entitle them to public office? Certainly not. But should they be hated or despised becase they're rich? Nope. They pay most of the taxes. And that hate is one of the things that is so wrong with this new Libocrat party. Hate the wealthy and spread class envy to create the Socialist States of America. That is what the old dead Democrat party is now and that's all they care about. And I have no doubt they'd gladly see millions of Americans dead and buried by war or disaster if it would get them back in power. I have no doubt at all. They kill their babies with nary a glance, why wouldn't they allow the deaths of grown opposition if it got their power back? Dark and sinister and depressing but I believe there is adequate evidence the past 30 years to back up my belief.
Indeed. In fact, even at my advancing age....I still harbor a belief that I can join their ranks....at least to a comfortable degree....and I will continue to labor in that direction. The effort itself gives me pleasure.
The Kennedys I can do without along with the Hollywood rich, but mostly the rich are the cream of our society.

Most of those are a who's who of RINOs or ineffectual, cowering conservatives.
(...John Heinz really persuaded Teresa of conservative values, didn't he?)
Cheers!
