    Liberals are liberals because they hate the wealthy. They don't think it's fair for some people to have money, and others not.

    TT, I would basically agree with you, but why would a extremly rich person be a liberal - ie (the late) Ted Kennendy

    Because of the manner in which he acquired the money - by inheritance from his patron JP Sr.

    Not sure, just telling you what a recent liberal told me.. he is actually struggling with "HATE"... of anyone that is wealthy. He sees Wealth = Greed, and he can't get over it.

    Sorry but "putting people first" is not a defining characteristic of being a liberal.

    The old meme that it is the Rich Republicans who are trying to hold down the people has to go. It is an outright lie from hell.

    Most of the uber wealthy people in America and around the world these days are anything but conservatives or Republicans! They are from Hollyweird, sports figures, entertainers, owners of the press (with some rare exceptions), the television industry moguls. drug dealers, union leaders, and Wall Street, all of whom are liberal or even Marxist without exception.

    Rich "Democrats" far outnumber "rich" Republicans in today's world.

    Sorros, Kerry, Kennedy family, Gates, etc.

    Here is the Forbes list for anyone wishing to click through and do their own research.

    No, he got it right.

    "Most of the uber wealthy people in America and around the world these days are anything but conservatives or Republicans!"

    And...

    "all of whom are liberal or even Marxist without exception."

    Some wealthy people in America are Republicans and liberal.

    He should be blamed.

    He shouldn't have bailed them out. But they own him.

    That's his fault.

    So you promote a system that ,instead, penalizes hard work?

    Makes a lot of sense.:rolleyes:

    Nope. My proposal promotes hard work and rewards it far better than our current one.

    Sounds like he has a plan to equalize pay somehow betreen the professional, the skilled, the unskilled and inexperienced, and risktakers that sink everything they have into a business venture.

    Has to be more income redistribution. Intelligence and initiative are not redistributable.
