Oh, I see. Bill Gates woke up one morning and there it was, $30 billion or so. Other super wealthy people all having the same experience. One day they were broke, the next day, they were running some multi-billion dollar operation. How did it happen?? Just plain luck.

The thing Zero has no concept of what it means to achieve something through hard work, blood, sweat and tears.

Talk about successful people who haven't work a decent day in their lives ending up becoming the president of the US, now that's a fine example of being a lottery winner.

This from a person who has never held a job in his life that I know of.

How does he explain his wealth? The Clinton Crime Family? Nancy Piglosi (she did the old fashioned way - married/bedded hers).

Hey Barack!

What does that make you?!?!?!

You don’t really believe you’ve EARNED your position, or are QUALIFIED for that RESPONSIBILITY, do you?

The sorry excuse for the _resident now living in the WH has no idea what hard work is.

He lied and scammed his way there and then calls successful people in our society “lottery winners,” he’s a disgrace and should be impeached.

And by taking risks. On the other hand, Barack truly did wake up on lots of mornings and discover that things had been handed to him. University educations, a Senate seat, the Presidency. All because he is a useful tool.

He is the nations first Affirmative Action President. If anyone won the lottery, it’s him...

Forget his disdain of those who work hard for their money - that is a given.

Concentrate instead on his “asking” for wealthy folks to “invest” in poverty programs.

“ASKING” - as if taxation is voluntary!

“INVEST” - as if such programs actually produced a return (beyond graft for Dem politicians and their enablers, and votes for Dems, that is).

Typical Communist rhetoric - demean the productive while demanding their hard-earned assets to be used for social engineering. SCUMBAG!!!!

The luckiest lottery winner of all time is Bambi. HE didn’t even have to buy his own ticket.

Envy is evil. Stirring up envy to further your political aims is doubly so. Obama is a very evil man.

Yes!!! If we get enough of the people who actually DO work for a living and contribute their labor towards society to concentrate very hard and very often on this, maybe, just maybe, we can actually put an end to this communist war on everything the USA stands for!!!

This has been the meme for going on 50 years.

Listen to the civil rights hustlers talking about “more fortunate ones...”

As if getting through medical school is about luck.

Barack Hussein Obama - America's first Anti-American President!

Where individualism & exceptionalism are belittled while collectivism & government dependence are encouraged.

Obama: If you've got a business, you didn't build that,somebody else made that happen.

If you got admitted to Harvard Law school, graduated with no grade transcript available, and then got elected president all because of your black skin, you didn't do that on your own. Somebody else made that happen.

Starting with your white mama who liked to party on the other side of town.

Obama keeps repeating this shit!
over and over again, if someone is successful it is certainly not because s/he earned or deserved it, or did anything helpful for society

(so obviously Obama should be allowed to confiscate it)

.....
I will go this far, some people do get lucky at times. and some people get rewards that appear to exceed their ‘contributions to improving society’ ... (such as Obama, for starters)

but most of the successful (’rich’) people I’ve known, and I’ve known a great many of them....did work pretty hard to succeed.....they were not all sitting on their asses complaining about other people succeeding, and they were not trying to tear other folks down all the time, either

this is a sickness.... BUT IT IS ALSO A CALCULATED MEANS OF DE-LEGITIMIZING ANY AMERICAN EVER BEING PERMITTED TO SUCCEED ON THEIR OWN OR TO SAVE ANYTHING...OR TO ACHIEVE ANY MEASURE OF LIBERTY/INDEPENDENCE IN LIFE..... we are all supposed to be reduced to dependent subservient sheeple

O’s remarks are not just “stupid” or “incompetent” or “irgnorant of how the world works”.... His remarks are consistent and very finely honed, evidencing an intentional or knowing purpose

the purpose is to further what can only be described as a Nazi/Communist agenda of levelling and subjugating a once-free people to the lowest possible, subsistence style of dependency on ... whatever kind of dictatorship you wish to call it
