In the liberal universe, there’s no correlation between hard work or ingenuity and financial success. As President Obama recently put it, the rich are simply “society’s lottery winners.“
Sounding a similar theme, Al Sharpton today declared it “astounding” that Rand Paul believes that income inequality is due to “some people working harder.” Astounding, indeed! What’s wrong with Rand? How could he possibly believe that someone someone who works, say, 60 hours per week might earn more than someone else who works 20?
I bet Rand Paul also believes that fat people eat more food!
What a maroon!
Don’t be too hard on him. Al has never worked a day in his life and he’s as rich as a Sultan. You can see how he’d be confused.
ALnotverySHARPton should not be given one minute of air time, one line of newsprint or even one disturbed electron to spew his brain dead views. The guy is a drain on society and does no good.
He sounds like my welfare recipient ex-sister-in-law, who thought that just because I have an actual job and work for a living, I must be rich and couldn’t understand why I was so selfish as to not share my “wealth” with her.
Al works hard at not paying his taxes.
Plus he has no tax burden so he has no understanding of that either.
Most likely assumed you thought you were better than her because of your ethics, too.
OKay, give the poor people all the money instead of having them work for it. Guaranteed it will be evaporated faster than you can hand it over. That’s because there is a difference between achieved wealth and given riches. Additionally, there is a void in one’s life that is filled with accomplishment, rather than having that void filled with hate for fellow upstanding law enforcement while chanting about some minority group in racist form. Cause & effect = symptom.
The Rev Al pulls his weight! He is the designated African symbol
as victimized by white privilege, racism, bigotry of expectations, slavery past and present and racial violence. Somebody has to do the dirty work for the home folks (and it pays extremely well)!
My first thought on that exactly.
No real meaningful work, yet still rich.
Unbelievable, isn’t it, that educated hard long work might equal more wealth? Silly conservatives. (/sarc)
Like winning the lottery and findIng all the friends you never knew you had, that you now somehow owe, same mentality.
Wouldn’t you love to turn this guy over to ISIS
