Why is it that the hollywood elite, somebusinessmen like Warren Buffet, and other rich Americans throw their full support behind obama? Even when they know that "spread the wealth" means money being taken away from them? Why would these people want everyone to have the same stuff when it would mean that they themselves had no more than anyone else?
Because they know that spread the wealth is a myth. They know that nothing will be taken away from them. And they know that their wealth and privilege is in no way threatened by Obama or the democrats.
They know that both the president and members of his party are avid supporters of the free market system and capitalism.
Theyre also pragmatists, they understand that government can have a positive effect on those less fortunate and there are issues appropriate for the public sector alone to address.
Last, theyre advocates of protecting civil rights and individual liberties, so naturally they support the president and his party.
