[Denver Ditdat]

Are Democrats opposed to those who work hard and thereby achieve greatness?

Why yes, they are.

People who work hard, sweat, and persist hold the keys to success in their hands and are unlikely to sit passively on the sidelines bleating for the government to "help" them.

It's the very antithesis of everything the Democrats have come to stand for. Should too many people adopt this kind of attitude, drunken fops such as Patrick "I've never worked a day in my life" Kennedy would have to get real jobs and work hard, too. Horrors! Perish the thought!

Ever notice that most of the very wealthy Dims never EARNED their fortunes? Most inherited their bucks (Kennedys, Rockefellers, etc.) or married it (Kerry, Feinstein, Pelosi, and most of the Hollywood trolls) or extorted it as trial lawyers (Edwards, Gephart, et als). About the only Dim I can think of who truly created and made his money is Bill Gates.
