sharpton

And I am shocked that he has a TV show.

I will be even more shocked if I hear that anyone actually watches.

Via NewsBusters:

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.”

….Note that Sharpton also recycled the canard that Jeb Bush said people needed to work longer hours whereas the context made clear he was calling for the availability of more full-time jobs….

    He should know – he doesn’t work… He plays at ‘work’ (Poverty Pimp is his job title).

    Without hate, these despicable people would starve to death.

    That popularly held opinion of conservatives irks me as well. If you’re not rich, you must not be working hard enough. Really?

    Carpet installers work hard, firefighters work hard, coal miners work hard, janitors work hard, and on and on of the majority of working people. Much of the wealth the wealthy have is made from investments not compensation for sweat of the brow labor. I salute those who break through the wealth threshold by risk-taking and tenacity. Even for them, after awhile it is your money working hard for you that brings in increasing amounts of wealth. Or, as my mother used to say, “Them that has, gets”. The wealthy can make more money in short term investments than a working stiff can make in years of sweat, strain, worry and hardship.

    Most of the hard-working people in this country are *not* rich. Conservatives and Republicans should stop insulting them. Stop insinuating they aren’t working hard enough or they aren’t smart enough. Find a way to praise the rich without slamming everyone else.

    There is NOTHING he can’t say on MSNBC that will ever get him fired. NOTHING. Him and his ilk would defend 0bama if he was caught on a 3 camera video and eyewitnesses taking down a 7-11.
