But this veiled socialist language has become popular.
People who see themselves as the have nots on the bottom of the socioeconomic spectrum, the losers, LOVE to hear that success is mere luck, handed to others through unfair opportunity (the language of privilege), or through some immoral/unethical behavior.
The idea that hard work, persistence and making GOOD decisions leads to success does not make the loser feel good about themselves.
They want to hear that they are failing because of racism, sexism, or whatever else, not their stupid neck tattoo and nose ring, poor academic performance, poor athletic performance, poor financial decisions, poor life choices in who they marry, their sexual behaviors, and drug usage... Money, sex and drugs are the reason people fail in life primary.
But!!! Does Obama apply the same loser philosophy in his and his families life? Of course not. These are people that just use the losers for their own success, but they know what it takes to succeed and apply hard work, persistence and good decisions in their own lives.
“ The idea that hard work, persistence and making GOOD decisions leads to success does not make the loser feel good about themselves”
Just think how different things would be in the USA right now if the descendants of slaves taught their children to be proud of and grateful to their ancestors for surviving the miserable and totally unfair lives that they led as slaves long enough to bring their ancestors into this world.
The reason Obama & Co have such contempt for their supporters is their own disbelief that their rubes could fall for such bs.
They degrade all things of value such that if they demand surrender it would not be such a big deal. The hate America crowd would not be willing to defend and support an evil nation.
