When Wealth Is Condoned

By Semperpapa

I have finally grasped the message being shoved down the American people's throats these days by the elitist leadership and various droids: Wealth is good as long as the "right" people and conditions are met.
The operative word is not "right" as in conservative, but as correct or PC or progressive.

Ultimately, if you are a person attacking the capitalistic system while using abusing and greatly benefiting financially from the exercise of the freedom that capitalism and free market affords you, than your accumulation of wealth is legitimate and well deserved.
Attacking left wing millionaires and billionaires is not cool, because they have the right to be rich and they deserve the riches.
Michael Moore is entitled not only to make a fortune in the production of movies that attack America, but he is also entitled to keep most of his money, including exercise legal action to make sure that every cent he feels he deserves gets to him.

George Clooney, and all the other clueless Hollywood elitists, feels he is entitled to make tens of millions of dollars for his appearance in a flick, way more than any of the other actors in the same flick, and why? Because he feels he is entitled to more as name recognition in that industry is an advertisement in itself. But what about all the other actors in the same flick? Should they not be compensated equally?

Bono, the famous liberal singer of the Irish band U2, has been making a career and a great following of social environmentalist morons out of his denouncement of greedy capitalistic financial systems, and yet it looks like good old Bono will be making approximately $1B out of his investments in the Facebook IPO. How's that for social consciousness!

This is a practice the Left is really good at. It is simply called "hypocrisy" and it is standard operating procedures for the enemies of freedom.
Progressives can freely exercise their financial freedom of investment that only Capitalism can give them, but anyone else who does the same while not espousing the Communist ideology, is instantly greedy, crooked and racist.
Making money is the reason cause people take chances and start businesses, the reason cause people go to work. The current leadership, truly merely self proclaimed leadership as they are no leaders in the least, could not care less about the freedom or even the ability of the American people to open or run a business or even to go to work. They could not care less about creating the right conditions for the private sector to create jobs. These so called leaders are only interested in blowing smoke in the face of the people who are only seen as voting eggheads.

Progressive thinking is that if you are a liberal, making money is your "right" but if you are a conservative, than making money is the sign of your greed and a tell tale of your willingness to exploit some lower social form.
That is why we hear multi-millionaire stating that they would not mind paying more taxes. Warren Buffett and similar morons, want everyone else pay taxes through the nose, while they enjoy cheating and not paying theirs. These people say that the "rich" should pay more, but they are not receptive in exercising their freedom to pay more to the IRS voluntarily.

So I have a suggestion. All millionaires registered Democrat and supporting liberal politicians and liberal ideology, should have a flat tax rate of 80%. I am sure Will Smith, Eva Longoria and Buffett will be satisfied about the government "taking care" of the needs of the people.
All others, should be afforded the freedom to keep more of their money or pay more if they want to.
I believe the situation would stimulate the economy out of the recession. All the money that Longoria wants me to pay for her beloved illegal aliens could be paid by her and her peers. And maybe she could buy herself some knowledge and wisdom. Or maybe not.

The irony of all this is that all these so called liberal millionaires live a life of true luxury, while trashing the life of luxury conservative millionaires live. What sense does that make?
Unless throwing a lavish, rich and decadent party during which one speaks against Bush or global warming, automatically absolves them from their excesses. That must be it!

Wealth accumulation and retention is basically condoned only when those doing it conform with the liberal progressive ideology.
So Obama spoke, so it will be written. Pharaoh Obama has spoken...

Just my thoughts!
