Like a broken record we hear it from the Democrat candidates every election over and over and over, “The rich, the wealthy, the rich, the wealthy” ad nauseam.

It appeals to the envious, resentful, and covetous among us. The basis of Socialism is the re-distribution of wealth and it is their goal. Take from the “haves” and give to the “have-nots” Remember LBJ and the Great Society?

Democrats disregard the sacrifices and discipline needed to get ahead or the willingness to make right choices (for instance: to save instead of spend).

Wise parents raised me not to engage in the politics of envy and not to expect others to carry my load.
