Th Real ENTITLEMENT/PRIVELEGED Class Are The Rich. They Are The Ones Who Don't Work.


That fact of the GOP rhetoric is real irony.

So consumed with hate that it ate his foot off.  Or was that the staff infection?

1. And they have very little to NO regard for those who do work.

It is the work of the people that makes this country strong and has made it what it is. Not the folks on Wall Street. The teachers who work so hard to educate the people who become workers. The nurses and doctors who keep us healthy. The road crews who make it so we can get around. The farmers and truck drivers and grocery store workers who get us our food.
NOT a bunch of folks who sit around and think a lot of zeroes on their bank balance puts them above anyone

2. They are lazy moochers, arrogant and entitled. And project that fact onto the rest of us.

We are the ones who make their lifestyle possible.
Yet they are indifferent, disdainful, blameful of us.

You didn't build that, somebody else made that happen.

As usual no definition of "the rich."

I work my ass off for everything I have -- no handouts or setasides for me.  And I am:

1) Top 10% of earners
2) Top 5% of net worth (Millionaire+)
3) Zero debt of any kind (probably puts me in the top .5%

They dare to attribute those feelings to me?  FOAD all of you liberal lazy good for nothing takers .  You are all replaceable -- and many will soon be replaced by robots (I have seen a human bank teller maybe twice in 30 years since ATMs came into existence).

"Rich" people like those DUers were blathering about, the ones who inherited and live off their wealth do exist, but they are in the minority. Most rich people today either created their wealth by creating a product, service, or entertainment, or inherited some wealth and grew it through their own work (e.g. Donald Trump, who inherited millions and grew it into billions).

But facts don't matter on DU.
