For liberals, history began on the day Donald Trump took office. If you're not a liberal you might remember things that happened before that. For instance, you might remember that Joe "The Plumber" Wurzlebacher asked then candidate Barack Obama about his plans to tax small businesses. Obama's reply?
I think when you spread the wealth around it's good for everybody.Here's the video

You might also remember that in return some sleazy democrat improperly searched for and made public Wurzelbacher's financial records.
Thus in 2008 Obama believed in spreading the wealth because it was good for everybody. More than a few of us thought he was full of sh*t and all we had to do was wait long enough to prove it.
And that day is here.
In March of 2017 the Obama's landed a $65 million book deal. Also that year they dropped $8 million on a house in Chicago.
Then in 2018 with the help of a major donation bundler buddy the Obama's inked a deal to produce Netflix shows. Amount is unknown.
Just the other day the Obama's bought a $15 million estate in the Hamptons.
Barack and Michelle Obama are close to buying a massive Martha’s Vineyard estate.You might also remember that in 2010 Obama said something elseTMZ reports that the former president and first lady are in escrow — aka in contract to purchase — a 29-acre beachfront plot with a 6,892-square-foot main house. The Obamas were initially just renting the seven-bedroom, 8½-bathroom spread for summer 2019, but apparently loved it so much that they made an offer.
It was most recently on the market asking $14.85 million, but the Obamas are apparently paying less.
The property at 79 Turkeyland Cove Road in Edgartown, Mass. — owned by Boston Celtics chief Wyc Grousbeck — has a living room with vaulted ceilings and a stone fireplace, a chef’s kitchen and a formal dining room with giant windows, according to the property’s Realtor.com listing.
The Obamas will bunk in the master suite, which has a fireplace and private sun deck.
Outside, there’s a pool with another fireplace — or the couple could swim on the private beach, which has a boathouse.

If Democrats didn’t have double standards they’d have no standards at all.
Uh, apparently the obxxxs haven’t gotten to that tipping point yet. I know I certainly haven’t.
I agree; I will reach that point at the moment of my death...
***Barack and Michelle Obama are close to buying a massive Martha’s Vineyard estate. ***
Very close to the ocean where the glo-bull warming sea rise will flood them out! I think he bought it because it is close to Gay Head.
“Rules for thee, but not for me.”
Couldn’t we say that making money is a journey, not a destination?
I can only speak for myself, but I find myself agreeing with that.
At some point having lots of money it would cease to have any meaning to you.
If you had $1 billion, you could spend $30,000 a day every day for 90 years and not spend one billion.
I could not imagine even trying to do that, but that's just me. However, having said that, I have no right to set a limit on how much money anyone should have.
Bunk?
That's what I did at Green Oak Boys Ranch when I was 9 years old. The hired help "bunks". I don't think the Obama's consider themselves to be bunking in the master suite of a 7,000 sq. ft. mansion.
Ever notice how democrats are obsessed with the amount of money you have you need to stay poor so the can help you aka control.
who decides how much is enough and how does one decide it?
Bammy got rich off being an America-hating black. He is much richer than me. He owns a mansion. I don’t. He has way more than enough money. I suggest he give it back.
Won’t happen. He is rolling in the benefits of capitalism. He is rich off the money of poor slobs. The stuff he and the other dems say about “equality,” “social justice,” “reparations” is only about getting ignorant gullible idiots to vote dem. They don’t intend to turn the country communist.
The only candidate who actually would take us into full communism is crazy bernie, and he wouldn’t give up his millions.
The ole green-eyed monster. They are jealous that some have so much.
What gives ‘them’ the right to see how much any individual should have? Nothing. Nothing but their own avarice.
The current field of Dem contenders have proposed upwards of $200 Trillion in give-away spending. The richest 100 Americans’ total worth is just over $1 Trillion. Libs could confiscate 100% of the wealth and it would still be woefully short of paying for their outlandish spending.
“I Do Think At A Certain Point You’ve Made Enough Money” and then he continued, “On the other hand, at no point will I ever have made enough money. Because I’m awesome.”
One must always keep in mind that liberals have a
comic book vision of wealth. A vision of Scrooge McDuck
swimming in a vault of money. Yet in the real world
the wealthy are NOT sleeping on mattresses stuffed
with hundred dollar bills. Their wealth supports the
lives of thousands of people, perhaps hundreds of thousands.
How juvenile a view of economics they must have, and it is
played upon by those who lead them to socialist enslavement.

Yeah, $60,000,000 for a book deal is a bit over the top.
Liberals love their wealthy celebrities.
Isn’t that where the sharks are dragging people into the ocean, or am I just being too optimistic?
