I have come to the conclusion that with many, certainly not all liberals that that their pre-occupation with Income disparity coupled with their distain and even hatred of the very wealthy, corporations & Capitalism has less to do with their Altruism and sense of Fairness and more to do with Envy and Sour Grapes over the victories and successes of others. He was born with a Silver Spoon, he was lucky, he couldn't have gotten where he is without screwing a lot of people. He's got lots of money off shore. He uses the tax code to his advantage. Hey, would you believe that there are rich people that have done good deeds and continue doing good deeds, and that there are actually big corporations that have benefitted people. Capitalism is there for every one to grab a piece of.
 

well said, we have ours because someone else got theirs...and if theirs is bigger we want more......how much is enough? just a little more

Ah, the politics of male white privilege, kinda reminds me of ancient Rome. Darn those pesky plebes anyway. Who do they think they are? I am educated, but in many arenas, my phd title still won't buy me parity with a good ole boy. Hmmm.
 
I never knew we had a bunch of old rich white men on this forum... Who'd have thought they would show up here.. You would think they would be too busy counting their money, and sailing their yachts..

I don't agree at all Lon. The oligarchs (1%s) are able to buy legislators and the results are laws that favor the rich and hurt the poor. The result is greater income inequality.

I am not sure with what you are disagreeing Josiah. Envy & Sour Grapes on the part of SOME liberals?

We all must remember these are "compassionate conservatives" we're dealing with.

I'm disagreeing with your contention that liberals have a "pre-occupation with Income disparity". The expression "pre-occupation" suggests an unhealthy obsession and it's my contention is that liberals are finally starting come to grips with the importance of this issue and their concern and emphasis on the issue is entirely justified.
