Scarborough: 'Conservatism Is A Racket For A Lot Of People To Get Very, Very Rich'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 12/10/2012 6:43:34 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

Is it possible to have a principled opposition to raising tax rates to avoid the fiscal cliff? It seems that Joe Scarborough doesn't think so. On today's Morning Joe, Scarborough suggested that those on the "far, far right" in the "conservative entertainment complex" and in the ranks of political consultants who oppose tax rate hikes do so out of base material motives.

According to Scarborough, speaking of such "far, far right" tax-increase opponents, "conservatism is a racket for a lot of people to get very, very rich."

This is the left narrative post election. There is no conservative movement. Just an ‘entertainment’ network to make money. It is shocking that 40% of the country is self-described as conservative, yet somehow the left has redefined it as fringe and insignificant.

Whereas socilaism is a racket for a lot of people to get very, very poor while a few of their "enlightened leaders" get very, very rich.

So how does Scarborough classify Union leaders? And what of all the poverty pimps?

Again with the projection.

And liberalism is a scheme to make almost everyone equally poor. Except the ruling elite.

I agree.

Conservatism is a scheme by which the largest number of people possible get rich.

The antithesis is also true:

Liberalism is a scheme by which the largest number of people remain poor.

Hey Joe you got that backwards. Drive by Al Gore's mansion in Montecito or check out Michael Moore's lakeside mansion in Michigan. These are conmen who got rich from LIBERALISM.

Ah it's Monday and time to float another WH (Soros) talking point and find out if there any takers.

If you really want to see a racket, look at how much hating whitey has spawned and entire "civil rights" industry. Sharpton, west and Jackson have become multi millionaires from hating whitey.

BTW, that would make a good title for a book.

Joe shouldn’t judge everyone by his own actions. He sure is making a lot more money these days than when he was a Pensacola lawyer or Congressman, pretending to be conservative.
