Snip

 

From telling small-business owners they “didn’t build that” to the 2018 speech in which he said, "There’s only so much you can eat. There’s only so big a house you can have. There’s only so many nice trips you can take. I mean, it’s enough," the former president has spent his life spreading messages that disparage success.

  House of hypocrisy is so catchy though. I'm looking through the real estate guide right now to see if I can find one near me.

Check the listings out here in LA, especially West LA/Beverly Hills/Santa Monica. This is like ground zero for champagne socialismo.

"Giving up a piece of your pie" seems to mean something different to politicians such as Bernie and Michael than it does to most of us.

  I guess I'm not on a first name basis with politicians the way you are so I have to ask. Who the heck is Michael?

  I did not give up any pie. I doubt that you did either. Many politicians and legislators out there may have that as a goal, but I don't think Michelle Obama was ever one of them.

Michael was the auto-korek my phone decided was needed.  Michelle was the person to whom I was referring,  as she was quoted in the topic about giving up our pies.

   I thought that was probably the case. So you lost some pie too?

Well, I just jumped into a higher tax bracket this month, so kinda.  But not the pie you are referring to.  The pie Michelle WANTS me to give up, I ate before anyone could get sum.

Personally, I am fine with them buying whatever house they want.  The hypocrisy is certainly there considering their socialist mentality, but to each their own.
