Obamas looking to buy a $15 million vacant lot on Martha's Vineyard

Conservatives generally believe that the accumulation and maintenance of wealth is a good thing. We like money, we admire success, and we don’t view those who’ve achieved a significant fortune with contempt. We’re aware that well-funded bank accounts provide employment, stimulate the economy, and keep the country humming along.

The left disagrees. If you’re rich, you aren’t paying your fair share. Heck, even if you’re not rich you should be taxed more. To them, the wealthy are like dragons - sleeping on a mountain of ill-gotten gold - lording over the peasants with filthy, probably-stolen, lucre that they couldn’t spend in a hundred lifetimes. No one needs all that cash, and really you should only have what you the government decides you should be allowed to keep. As we know, they never self-apply this standard. We’ve done a thousand pieces on how leftist-statism is built on a do-as-I-say-not-as-I-do foundation, but fatcat Dems keep offering new examples. It’s just so easy to point out their hypocrisy, that we’d be fools to stop doing it.

Enter former President Barack Obama: a man who wants to “spread the wealth around” and who once famously said “at a certain point you’ve made enough money.”

...According to Realtor.com, he’s looking to purchase one of two vacant lots on his favorite vacation Island, Martha’s Vineyard. Of course, he doesn’t want to live inland like some commoner, so both properties are ocean front. They’re also not cheap. The man who wonders when ‘enough is enough’ is looking at plots that start at $12 million and, remember, that’s without a house.

Well maybe Rezko,his old real estate crook friend, is going to buy 1 square foot on the SW corner for 14.99 million like his early Chicago deals. And the he still has to build a mega whopper energy guzzling crib! So he owns about 50 mill in real estate now? He invested in pork bellies I bet......

Several years back, my cousin and his wife were the property caretakers (if that's the proper term) on an estate in the Hamptons. After over a year, they had to quit because the overbearing wife of the estate owner was quite the arrogant, demanding bitch and treated them like crap......Evidently growing up in money never taught them how to deal with actual hard working middle Americans........

They then moved south where they were hired by Tanetta Van Vlissingen, owner of the Firestone estate in North Carolina. My cousin was hired because of his background in horse training since Vlissingen had plans of building a horse stable and breeding horses..........

That job lasted for two years while my cousin oversaw the building of the new guest house, the horse barn and overall property management until my cousin and his wife got fed up with how they were also treated and quit. Primary complaint was no raises despite their 24/7 commitment to the family and the property..........

There's something about rich leftists, they have no connection whatsoever to the common people despite their claims otherwise........
