At a recent speech in South Africa, former President Barack Obama criticized wealth inequality, saying those who have more money should share their earnings with the less fortunate.
Right now, Im actually surprised by how much money I got, Obama said of the more than $20 million he earned between 2005 and 2016.
Obama then chided wealthy individuals for excess, saying, Theres only so much you can eat. Theres only so big a house you can have. Theres only so many nice trips you can take. I mean, its enough.
Were going to have to worry about economics if we want to get democracy back on track, Obama continued Were going to have to consider new ways of thinking about these problems, like a universal income, review of our workweek, how we retrain our young people, how we make everybody an entrepreneur at some level.
Obama continued on income inequality, saying, History shows that societies which tolerate vast differences in wealth feed resentments and reduce solidarity and actually grow more slowly. And when economic power is concentrated in the hands of the few, history also shows that political power is sure to follow and that dynamic eats away at democracy. After the speech calling for rich people to get smaller houses, Obama traveled back to America and to his $8.1 million eight-bedroom, nine-and-a-half bathroom mansion in one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in the world.
The left proclaims that Obama is their “Lord ands Savior” so he deserves it.
Zero needs to locked up in a very expensive max security BIG HOUSE.
I don’t see the Kenyanesian Usurper cutting back his travel and house size.
But then communist agitators never really believe the bilge they spew.
Didn’t Bill and Hill make similar comments long ago???

Funny, he doesn’t go around America speaking publicly.

Che managed to “liberate”some pretty nice digs for himself also.
Saved up over 8 years from his salary as President.
“Only so many nice trips you can take...”

Exactly. They believe they are the superior ones deserving to live like royalty.
Uncultured nouveau riche scum.
Of course they don’t believe their own propaganda. It’s all the proof you need that “global warming” is a scam. If the people like 0bama, Algore and Leonardo Dicrapio really belived it was real, they wouldn’t live as they do.

Ask your friend Soros since he gives millions to left wing commie groups and looks to destroy the west.
he and his family had $1.4 billion dollars spent on them per year. that amounts to $12 billion roughly-
Did Barry also brag about how Filthy Rich he is now
Willing to bet that this $20 million is, as usual, far from the truth...More likely double that at least...
