Obama says top earners are "just lucky" !!!

[toonertoo]

I wasn't going to throw someone like George W. under the bus without tossing one out for the Obama haters too .

And none of you called me out for using were for where. I am disappointed.

I caught it but you already corrected it.

So how exactly are the top earners "lucky" again? I know a few are born into it, but that's not who Im talking about....

And after BHO leaves office , will he be as "lucky " as those other past presidents in demanding huge speaking fees ?

It's a statistical fact that the majority of "top earners" are first generation. Meaning.....they started out like most people, which was with little to nothing, and worked their way up. I listen to Dave Ramsey on the radio alot and he has stated that the number of millionaires that are first generation are somewhere around 80%. So, only 20% became millionaires "by accident." If you really want to call it an accident. Either way they shouldn't be punished with higher taxes.

You need to back up that statement before I can believe it.

Besides, mere millionaire status is small potatos for the real elite who run this country.

I don't believe in higher taxes either. But I am not going to fall all over myself defending the wealthy.
