Liberals Need to Stop Bashing the Rich

Read Time:1 Minute, 53 Second

One of the favorite pastimes of liberal America haters is to bash the charitable and well meaning Koch brothers.  They decry them for being selfish rich guys who only care about enriching themselves and the boogeyman “One Percent” as the left refers to anyone who is successful despite big government interference.

Charles Koch pointed out today that an income of $34,000 a year would put someone at the top one percent of the world’s earners. Despite pointing out how good the “poor” of our nation really have it through welfare and food stamps, plus the benevolence of employers who are forced to pay minimum wage, the poor and liberals still complain.
I wonder if they would complain if they had to live with the wealth and responsibilities having great wealth entails as the Koch brothers do.

Knowing that without the vision and entrepreneurship of the wealthiest that our society would collapse is a tremendous burden on the Kochs and Romneys of the world.   Yet, instead of a thank you from us, all that is heaped upon them are insults and vile comments about avarice while “the poor” suffer on programs like food stamps and other welfare. Rich people like the Koch brothers pay for these programs by unfair tax rates that penalize their success.

It’s not easy being a millionaire and being a billionaire is even harder.   Knowing you will never enjoy the simple pleasure of driving a Chevy to your job at McDonald’s is a difficult thing to live with.  Yet the Koch brothers live with the sacrifice every day.  And their efforts to abolish food stamps and big government giveaways and minimum wage are only so many obstacles to being worth 43 billion dollars. If they are removed the poor can work harder to build a business empire they can leave to their heirs.

So the next time some whiny leftist starts in on how bad rich people are for wanting them to work for their money, just remember how good they have it now.  And thank our Lord good men like the Koch brothers are fighting to make the American Dream as great a reality for the poor as it is for them.

Jeez, libertarians and conservatives seem to believe as long as they defend the rich, they will become rich themselves. Pray tell rightys, what makes Soros a rich man safe to criticize but not the Koch brothers? Is that because they pay you? So long as a rich man donates to my cause and not the other, I’m fine with them. Your ilk is just as much a problem as Soros and all his left wing pawns.

I’m glad Jess is beginning to see the light.
I’ll be visiting with the Kochs at the club later this week Bill. We’re planning to lay off a bunch of slackers we are forced to pay minimum wage and hire some illegals we promised citizenship to in 20 years if they’re willing to work for tips and walk our poodles.

I think I am going to see if we cannot start some kind of telethon for these poor misunderstood billionaires. It will surely bring all the people out to support them in their sad lives.

No one is bashing. They are busting them for tax dodging and hoarding the wealth that people working for them made. That’s not all the rich, just those that still behave like children and don’t want to share their toys.

The only people that condone this kind of behavior are those who live in the American “dream” world and don’t realize it’s a dream.

You know Joe, the next time you talk with them I will be glad to fill in for them for a few weeks while they sneak off for some rest. When they get back they may be a little less wealthy but they will have had some rest.
