When debating wealth haters, it's always been my contention that they are wealth haters because they've never made a personal investment in their lives. They hate the money the wealthy have less than they hate the perseverance in their personalities that gave them such financial success.

And of course, many on the left who were never even successful working a full-time job feel the same way. They often blame the rich for their demise instead of themselves. These people believe we live in a bubble, and within our bubble, there is only so much money. Therefore, when one has too much, it's the reason others have too little.

That brings us to Bern baby Bern. As it turns out, he never had a steady paycheck until the age of 40, and it was government paychecks at that. While he is totally open about his upbringing in poverty, it seems he never tested private market to try and get a piece of that pie for himself.

most people don't hate wealth. they hate the growing disparity between haves and have nots.

and no, most people are not socialist so your basic premise is incorrect.

Sure people hate the wealthy. Many on the left do. It's why they are attacked with such vitriol here and other places.

Wealth disparity? Well if there is this wealth disparity, then somebody or some people have to be in charge, wouldn't you agree? And if so, who are these people?
 
It's called work ethic disparity. Get it right. Stop embarrassing yourself.

I know the victim card is easier to play but that nasty old reality keeps raising its ugly head.

There is no such thing as wealth disparity. There are lazy deadbeats and there are hard working professionals.

Not only hard working professionals, but people (unlike Bern) who have never risked any of their own money to take a stab at being wealthy or successful themselves.

At the age of 40 (if you are older than that) think of what you were doing with your life, think of what your goals were and what chances you took. Bernie didn't even start earning a steady income until that age.

And if you are not that age as of yet, think of what your goals are once you get there.

More likely the wealthy hate the poor. Remember Mitt Romney, his wife and comments about "you people". Then there was the tape where he said he wouldn't represent half the country.

What wealthy people give a shit about you and your condition in life?

Because half of the workers in this country pay no income tax.

No, he said 47% of the country wouldn't vote for him because of their dependency on government.

Turns out, he was right.

Probably none of them, but they don't attack me or my condition either.
 
I think he's more concerned with giving unestablished people a chance.

Yes he is, and at what cost, the established people?

The thing about Bernie, he's absolutely sincere in what he believes. The problem there is as you said, he has no context to view those who do produce wealth, products and jobs because simply put he's never done it.

He believes in the theory of what he believes, because he doesn't understand that in practice, it's never worked, because it can't in the US. It wouldn't be long at all until he began to look at nationalizing businesses, in order to control them to try and achieve the ends he believes are worth any cost.

Correct, he is absolutely sincere about what he believes, just like the wealth haters on TV, radio and here on USMB. They are all sincere.

But the question I pose is where does their sincerity come from? It comes from failure on their own part, the belief that money just rained down on certain people and not others--even if they never tried.

You mean of course the lazy and NON lazy.

Many on the left ARE wealthy.

You should do your simple trollposting on a message board where people haven't already seen this sort of nonsense 7 years ago.

Either that, or their desire to wield power over others. Liberals would absolutely LOVE to enslave the producers to work for them.
