President Obama spent much of this past weekend on the campaign trail, an action that usually involves showcasing his bloated ego for all to see. This weekend was no exception, as the President resorted to mocking rich Americans for thinking that their success is a result of their intelligence.
“Look, if you’ve been successful, you didn’t get there on your own,” said President Obama, while laughing. “I’m always struck by people who think ‘Well, it must be because I was just so smart’.”
The Divider-in-Chief also denounced rich people for thinking that they worked harder than everyone else.
“Well, it must be because I worked harder than everyone else,” mocked President Obama. “There’s a whole bunch of hardworking people out there.”
While the president may be correct in saying that there are a significant number of hardworking Americans out there, mocking some of them for thinking that they worked harder than everyone else for their success, isn’t a politically expedient move on his part.
In a recent interview with Red Alert Politics, self-made multimillionaire Foster Friess, a growth-stock picker, said that success requires hard work and sacrifice.
“I’ve told all the people when I built my business that when you run into a wall, jump over it, and if they can’t do that run around the end of it,” said Friess. “If you can’t do that, tunnel under it, and if you can’t do that, knock it down.”
But instead, President Obama appears to think that that being a hardworking American involves mandatory dependency on other Americans… an action that is, of course, taxable.
About John Twarog
How can he say that I mean honestly America is based on Capitalism. If your going to debase the rich I dont see the point. They worked hard to get where they are that’s why their rich. I mean really they paid to go to school to get there education so why cant they be rich or when did they ever get help from someone else next to student loans. I don’t understand how he thinks that everyone needed someone else to get where they are. Just doesn’t make sense to me.
He’s basically talking to those who don’t have as much as others…….. those are the votes he knows he can get. Not the votes from those who work hard. The sad part is there are many ppl who are envious of ppl who have more than they do… and what they take away from his “BS” is that he will make sure that we all have the same amount…… except for him…. he will be the ruler and will have everything! Scary!
What he is saying that all the time he runs into people who seem to think they made it to the top themselves. While they may have been mostly self made, their was always someone else they depended on for something, whether it was a loan, a favor or a recommendation. There are of course that person’s employees, you know, the resource that “smart and successful” person thinks of as numbers rather than people with lives of their own that are far less fortunate than themselves.
I believe that is what he was getting at, those below the rich people can’t always support themselves. When you become rich, of course people are going to be envious and want what you have. But when you have more than you need, it becomes your responsibility to help your fellow man, don’t pay the whole way for the lazy. But help those who need help while still working.
