Well, that Barry shore has a way with words. I thought Merriam-Webster may help with that, I was right.
“Selfish - having or showing a selfish desire for wealth and possessions” this seems to fit (Barry) more than me. especially being he will be selfish with my money.
“Greedy - seeking or concentrating on one’s own advantage, pleasure, or well-being without regard for others” what do you know this also seems to fit Barry (and his ilk) more than me.

I guess I will have to conclude that Barry is a selfish (he desires my wealth and possessions), greedy (he wants to use my money for his own advantage with no regard for me, the one who took the risk, invested the capital and did the labor) little bugger that wants power and access to the wealth of other for his own purposes.

Opposing higher taxes is selfishness but being a multimillionaire and not helping relatives in poverty isn’t?

Preach on brother.

I can feel anger building up inside of me at the very mention of freeloaders.

When his tax returns start showing a 10% tithe to charities and churches, then I’ll start listening to the preacher. Until then, he’s a dickhead who wants to steal my money.

OH, I missed that — was that Waldorf thing a hoax? I only saw what first came out..... maybe that was in the category of “too good to be true”.....

Is he that stupid or that arrogant?

Both, and let us not forget that it is patriotic to pay our taxes, according to Biden.

Supporting higher taxes is greedy and envious.

If you want to see selfishness, read Zero and Biden’s tax returns.

I thought I read that somewhere.
Still, your point is well taken.

What he meant to say was: "The point is, though, that — and it’s not just charity welfare, it’s not just that I want to help screw over the middle class and working people who are trying to get in the middle class — it’s that when we actually make sure that everybody's nobody's got a shot —when young people can can't all go to college, when everybody’s got decent crappy health care, when everybody’s got a little more money broke at the end of the month — then guess what? Nobody Everybody starts can spending that money, they decide maybe I can can't afford a new car, maybe I can can't ever afford a computer for my child. They can buy ill afford the products and services that businesses are selling and everybody is better worse off. All boats rise sink. That’s what happened in the 1990s Depression, that’s what we need I want to restore. And that’s what I’m gonna do as president of the United States of America

Just like Biden saying paying taxes is patriotic. What a joke.

Whaaat?!? "...and, if the higher taxes are levied to pay for Reparations, opposing the tax increase is racist -- you gun-clutching xenophobic typical white grandmas!"

"The point is, though, that — and it’s not just charity"

It's not charity, it's pure theft. And it's not just "the rich" getting shafted, as the multitudes of Obama-voting morons in the middle class would find out soon enough. They can't say they weren't warned. ...over and over again.

“Is he that stupid or that arrogant?”

YES

More importantly, I would say he hinges on evil.

Yup, apparently it was a hoax -- I hereby apologize to Michelle and Barack Obama for ever believing the hoax story about their lobster and caviar room service snack. However, I still believe they are far-left anti-American socialistic frauds.

Lobster and Caviar Story Retracted

"Clarification: Michelle Obama was in New York on the evening of Oct. 15 to attend the final presidential debate but did not stay in the Waldorf-Astoria, according to the Obama campaign (and the New York Post retraction). She left Indiana after her afternoon speech. The receipt is dated 4:04 pm, at which time the campaign says Obama had not yet arrived in New York."
