And Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), who claims she’s a “capitalist to my bones,” has a funny way of showing that. She wants the super-rich to pay not only an income tax but a wealth tax as well — because even if she doesn’t especially like them, she needs their money to finance an even bigger federal government with even more social welfare programs that would add up to trillions of dollars and, if her critics are right, would crash the American economy.

You can’t even count on the two billionaires running for president on the Democratic side to say a kind word in defense of their fellow tycoons. In today’s Democratic Party, that would be an act of political suicide.

Bigger question is why do America’s rich keep writing them checks?

Money is power. Promising money gives you more power.

“... but he’s 78 going on 30. He thinks like a millennial. And he’s got the energy and the political passion to match...”

No. He thinks like a retard. And he knows most retards don’t know WTH reality is. So Bolshevik Bernie takes advantage of their ignorance. Besides, when he honeymooned in the USSR, he paid attention to the chapter and lecture on “Useful Idiots”.

It’s a simple distraction while the steal the wealth of American citizens. They or any politician who behaves in the manner of the Biden Ukraine corruption should be tried at the level of an 1800’s horse thief.

In childhood, everyone fell in love with the Robin Hood story.

Then we grew up... MOST of us

Democrats thrive on hatred. Getting their people to hate the ‘right’ people is how they maintain their power.

If you listen to them the Democrats always get around to tell you their true beliefs about the constitution and about our economic system.

The great irony no one talks about is that many of “the rich” are rich BECAUSE of government support, and zero-interest, printed money. Many are insiders or taking advantage of a huge, complex, government-supported, rent-seeking system. Our printed, fiat, centrally-planned Federal Reserve supports the entire financialization of the US economy.

I haven’t heard Warren or Sanders make a peep about ending any of that.

My guess is that most Democrats’ gains were mostly not by achieved their own blood, sweat and tears.

So, they project their unworthiness upon others with wealth. They project much they don’t like about themselves upon others, the demonize those others.

Oh it's part of the Left's politics of envy, greed, and class division. Note that they have no problem being rich themselves!

The American People have always viewed wealth as a great blessing and something to which to aspire. It is.

Anyone who say's that money cannot buy happiness is foolish. It can. For one thing, it can buy a lot of expensive psychotherapy. For another thing, it can provide the ultimate luxury: to be able to live according to principle.

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) may be 78, but he’s 78 going on 30.

I prefer the Jennifer Garner version.

The wealthiest zip codes in the country are heavily Democratic.

They don’t seem to take the “tax the rich” rhetoric very seriously. ;-)

Millennials will want free stuff, until the day comes that the boomers and genXers who are paying for it have died off. Then what?

"Why do Democrats kick around America's rich?"

In order to deflect attention away from the fact that they ARE the Rich.
