Why Democrats insist on lying about how ‘poor’ they are

[Stephanie]

Why do they do it?

Because they know their voting base will buy it

They fell for with Obama, he was a poor black child...but he leaves out how he was lucky to land in his wealthy white grandparents laps and lived comfortable..... to then renounce them because he felt he was ingratiating himself to white people

They may have to sell stock to get by...like the Romney's did.

Why Democrats insist on lying about how ‘poor’ they are

This fails as both a straw man and hasty generalization fallacy.

Hillary says they were in debt and republicans say "Pbbbt yeah right" and literally, thats their entire argument.

Seems you haven't been paying attention.

They didn't simply do that and have that as their entire argument.

They said "you may have had debt seeing as you owned two houses with mortgages.....but you knew you had a book deal that would net well into the millions and you knew you would be able to capitalize on speaking events as every other president before you did."

But please...continue making shit up.

I like Biden...

The guy is making 230K a year and he does not save a penny...instead he lives paycheck to paycheck...

And brags about it!

Call me nuts.....but a man with the ear of most Americans should point out how wrong it is to not save for your future..

Instead?

He pretty much said "we are in the same boat because we live above our means"

Fucking asshole.

Hillary Clinton claimed that, at the moment she and her husband were signing up for $18 million in book deals, that they were “dead broke.”

Harry Reid (who lives in the Ritz-Carlton Hotel) said liberals are getting bullied by Republican billionaires but the Democratic Party “doesn’t have many billionaires” behind it.

Joe Biden (family earnings: $407,000 last year plus a free house, driver, meals, etc.) claims he “I don’t own a single stock or bond. . . . I have no savings accounts . . . I’m the poorest man in Congress.” (Triple fail: Joe isn’t poor, isn’t in Congress and wouldn’t be the poorest member of it if he were.)

Right here in New York, we’ve learned that City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito, the daughter of a wealthy doctor who left a $6.7 million inheritance, took advantage of a no-interest loan intended for underprivileged New Yorkers to buy a Harlem townhouse. Then she forgot to declare the rental income on required city disclosure forms. The townhouse you and I helped buy her for $240,000 is today worth $1.2 million.

The more Democrats insist on their proletarian cred, the more absurd it gets. They’re no longer just holier than thou: Now they’re prolier than thou.

Reid is worth about $3 million to $6 million and declined to release his tax returns even as he was screaming about Mitt Romney’s. His statement that “we don’t have many billionaires” was wrong too. Politifact dug up 22 billionaires who have made campaign donations to super PACs lately. Most of them — 13 — sent their checks to liberal and Democratic groups.

Biden may have been the poorest member of the Senate (not all of Congress) when he was there, but his net worth is still somewhere in the $39,000 to $800,000 range, reported the Center for Responsive Politics.

Why do all these exceedingly well-off people keep trying to convince us we’ll see them at the dollar store?

It’s all part of the increasingly delusional myth Democrats tell themselves that they are the tribunes of the middle class. In fact, their party is a strange two-headed beast — picture a Cerberus featuring the faces of Barbra Streisand and Lois Lerner.

The Dems are a coalition of ultra-rich cultural-elite donors on the one hand and government employees and their clients on the other. In 2012, President Obama carried those earning under $50,000 by a wide margin. But Romney easily bested him among those over that threshold.

Ever wonder why the Democrats seem to want to keep people poor?
But there’s another reason Democrats can’t talk about their wealth. It’s because they can’t say, “I made it big. Follow me and you can, too.”

Democrats earn their money in ways that aren’t available to most Americans. Yet even for Democrats, the Clintons got rich in an exotic way. They accumulated something like $100 million not by building a business or inventing something or even writing some hit songs. Their entire fortune came from political celebrity. (Their daughter has even accumulated $15 million by being the offspring of political celebrities. Or did you think NBC News paid her $600,000 a year because of her obvious broadcasting ability?)

If the Clintons had gotten rich inventing Facebook, that fortune would have spawned many others. But celebrity honoraria don’t work that way.

The left wing morons who vote for these people cause they believe their robin hood fairy tale, think they are so smart.

That is funny.

Wealthy Liberal Elites are the true 1 percenters. They have their wealth and will always have it. What they crave is power and control. Conservatives have their share of power hungry elites as well but the difference is Conservatives are not willing to kill Capitalism and The Middle Class in exchange for power. Liberals necessarily lean towards Socialism and other Collective leaning economies which cannot have a Middle Class.

What really highlights the filthy rich Democrats as supreme hypocrites is that they also extremely stingy with their charitable donations, either by money or by contributions as volunteers.

By definition, Democrats are only generous with someone else's money.

There was a time when to talk about wealth, even the cost of something, was considered impolite. I sure miss those days.

thanks to your fucking libernut/demoscum heros of times gone by who destroyed "those good old days".

T.Kennedy was one of those Constitutional traitors who was a "wealth" talker.

oooh ! BTW.., T.K. was a murderer, did you know that ?

 

[Ame®icano]

Why are they lying?

Let's put it this way... since poverty became such a valuable asset, democrats are just looking for a way for it to be taxed.

 

[Wildman]

I think what everyone forgets is when the Clintons left the White House, they had over 10 million in legal fees fending off the various legal witch hunts led by Ken Starr and others. So technically, they were dead broke when they left the White House

keep on believing that and a flag bearer for the Bitch and good ole boy "Bubba"

Neat page here like Forbes' Richest but foir Presidents.

List of United States Presidents by net worth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

No viable US Presidential candidate is poor. We're not looking to put Joe the Plumber into the White House but someone who's successful.

Wheres the part where she wasnt really in debt because of the book deal coming in the future?

Fucking asshole.

That Joe guy is so poor...

He was walkin' down the street the other day, and sees this panhandler. So he took out his wallet and handed him a five. Panhandler looks at him and instead of sayin' "Thank you", he takes a ten out of his hat and hands it back to Joe, an' he says, "You look like you need this more than I do!"

The clinton's reported 16 mlllion in income to the IRS when they left the white house. Surprisingly Hillary lied.

Nice verbatim post from Fox and Friends this morning. Your impression is spot on. Why have your own opinion when you can copy one is what I say

 

[Misty]

Bill Clinton received 16 million in pensions and benefits minus the supposed 10 million in debt leaves them with 6 million not even close to dead broke. This whole road the libs are going down is a bad idea slippery slope.

Hillary says they were in debt and republicans say "Pbbbt yeah right" and literally, thats their entire argument.

That's really disadvantaged.

Of course, Republicans only lie about important things like WMD and torture.
