The Declaration of Independance says,"....We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."

I think it's funny when we say he's rich therefore he's evil...., except Bill Gates and Warren Buffett. I do believe Barack is also a millionaire via book sales too. But for some reason, he's not part of the rich club who secretly wants to undermine society?
I think just because people are able to establish wealth, doesn't defaultly make them liars or corrupt. But if it does, then lets be fair and add pretty much every politician to the list in Washington. And I don't mean just look at their bank accounts, look at their lifestyles, and what they do and how they do it. I can't think of one senator or congressman who lives in a shack, or a trailer, lives paycheck to paycheck, etc.
I'm tired of this thought process. It's based of heresay, and doesn't speak about the individual's ability to lead a country.

If you believe in the Declaration of Independance, then you can't promote socialism. Socialism promotes the pursuit of mediocrity. By default, arguing rich people are evil, is arguing for socialism, and arguing for a level playing field, where no matter how hard you work, you will never be able to better yourself or your family above mediocrity. It's simple when you think about it. Really!
