Class Warfare and the Death of True Freedom

Class warfare is for crybabies.  And Marxists.  And, I guess, for politicians and pundits who seek the admiration of crybaby Marxists.  Bill Maher has said America needs class warfare on his HBO program, Real Time, claiming that the evil rich are screwing the poor, but let's examine who the "evil rich" really are, shall we, the "top 1%" he thinks the rest of America should hang from trees covered in tar and feathers.  He claims that the Republican party is the "party of billionaires," and apparently, he's very upset that General Electric doesn't have to pay taxes.  Well, according the The Washington Post, " Last election, GEPAC spent $2.4 million, with a slim majority going to Democrats. So far this year, two-thirds of GEPAC money has gone to Democrats."   You can read more here:   http://washingtonexaminer.com/politics/2009/08/leaked-e-mail-shows-how-ge-puts-government-work-ge#ixzz1J4llvtBL   99.6% of Apple, Inc. CEO Steve Jobs' donations went to the Democratic National Committee.  Warren Buffett donated over $1 million to Hillary Clinton, democrat,  in 2009.  All of those Hollywood types, those sophisticated millionaires Bill Maher pals around with?  Democrats.  They all famously donate money to charity, to the poor of the world, and yet with all of that money, poor people still exist.  Hmmm.  Why is that?  Is it because of the evil Republicans?  Maybe it's because rich people get their wealth by making good decisions.  The world is full of Art Linkletter types who didn't even know what a decent pair of shoes was until they were in their twenties, then ended up with millions.  Is it because they stole it all from the poor?  So maybe you had a rough life.  Maybe you couldn't afford college.  That sucks.  So what are you doing about it?  What are you doing to change things?  Think about the movies you watch- do you like movies about people who blame all of their problems on other people, people who demand other people give them what they earned?  Or do you like watching movies about people who find ways to help themselves and overcome their obstacles?  Watch The Pursuit of Happiness  with Will Smith, then come back and tell me what you learned.  Class warfare is destructive to society.  Instead of people using their own talent and freedom to improve things, they grab pitchforks and torches and attack.  I know you won't believe me, here, Lefty, but only the rich pay taxes.  That's right.  Most of you complainers out there are going to get a tax refund, and some of you are even getting back thousands more than you paid in.  You get all of your taxes back plus extra.  Now do you want to scream about what's fair?  The truth is, there is no "middle-class" or "upper-class," those are things Marx invented.  Here in America, any one can start out rich and become poor just as any one can start out poor and become rich.  You can go as far as talent and creativity will take you.  The sad thing is, there will always be someone who is jealous of you and your success, and like wolves, they will crowd around you, mouths slobbering greedily.  Don't believe me?  Just go walk down the street sometime with a cigarette in your hand in any major city, and I guarantee you someone will want to "bum" one from you.  You've got smokes and they don't, so you should give them yours, right? Even you well-meaning Democrats out there know what I'm talking about here.  Now, I'm not saying we shouldn't help each other.  Everyone needs help at some point in their life.  What I'm saying is, "Look in the mirror."  Who are you?  Are you a hyena waiting for the scraps the lions leave you, a lion feeding her cubs, or are you the prey being eaten?  Ask yourself how people like Bill Maher got rich.  Did he steal it, or did he use his own talent and the freedom to speak his mind?  True freedom is in the Declaration of Independence- the right to pursue happiness.  Exercise your own rights instead of being jealous of those who do.  You are the reason you're not rich, not happy, and you are the only one who can change that.
