Wealth Hypocrisy
Gotta love the "spread that wealth around" crowd:
http://dailycaller.com/2018/07/19/obama-house-rich/ Obama criticizes the wealthy at his South Africa speech, before going home to his (one of two) $8m mansions... He joins Bernie and Gore and Kerry and....

I think it's hilarious that Obama haters give the guy so much press. Politicians of all parties are demonstrably and obviously career liars. You shouldn't give a shit about the guy anyway, he's not very important anymore.

I'd rather have a wealthy hypocrite in his own home than a traitor in the white house.

Epitome of elitism. They have a fortune in assets because they are special.
The reason anyone should care is they want to tax people in the middle. If someone is really concerned about income inequality, there is a vehicle to address that problem. It's called charitable giving. US median income and wealth are something around $60,000 and $97,000, respectively. Please give your asset and income down to that level and do some good. PS. I don't like 'chicken hawk' hypocrisy either before someone throws out a "what about...."

So because someone who defends Trump hits out at Obama you say Trump's a traitor. I think Trump is an obnoxious idiot but didn't know that he collaborated with a state the US is at war with. This is why politics in the US have gotten so screwed up. I'm going to say the sun doesn't rise if someone I disagree with says it does. Looking at your garage list, did this all hit a nerve? I need to stay away from this subforum - it's as aggravating as flipping thru all the news channels.

But now that you mention it... Trump has been anything but a hypocrite about his wealth. He loud, boisterous, and pretty much of an asshole about it. Which is why he's more real, and less "politician."

Yes - I'm glad Obama is out of the White House as well - hopefully he will do less damage at home.

Bernie Sanders isn't even high net worth...
Most of his household net worth is in his house. Obama appears to have about $3.4 million dollars free for investment - nothing for a broker to swoon over, apart from the promotional possibilities. Gore and Kerry are in another league.
Of course Obama was opining on the consequences of growing income inequality. This idea that everyone left of center should take a vow of poverty is a shopworn right wing meme, and one that fits perfectly with your politics of grievance. |

I think people should practice charity according to their conscience, not by government mandates. I also don't think people should exercise largesse with other people's money. Much less, "spread other people's money around." See the difference?

Anyone who doesn't see hypocrisy in the statements Obama made is just too much in love with him or in hate with Trump. I'm assuming the statements attributed to him are correct.
Everyone always talks about getting the rich to pay w/ the definition of rich being those that have more than me. My perfect tax policy is to tax every dollar above my taxable income at 90%. Of course indexed to my taxable income every year.
