All Our Liberals Are Hypocrites

Casper said:
Bingo! It seems that some seem real good at pointing out the faults of others while totally ignoring the faults of themselves, and yet they still have the nerve to call others Hypocrites.

If any half way intelligent american doesnt know by 2016 that both parties and most politicians are in it for themselves. For power or enrichment and whats good for the people or what they people want is secondary.

Bernie Sanders has again and again and again complained about how little rich people and corporations pay in taxes.

Bernie and his wife are among the top 1% of wage earners. Guess what percentage of their income they pay in federal taxes.

Less than 14%. Boy, I'd like to know how they managed that.

And his followers are pledging to go right off the cliff for his ideas. They will carry on with or without the Democratic Party, some of them say. An authenticity in his fans that is not matched by Bernie himself, who turns out to be a 4 star phony.

And John Kerry and his wife have hundreds of millions stashed in offshore tax havens.

And Hillary has accepted hundreds of thousands if not millions from big corporations. But we all knew that; it's like a cliché. Nobody even seems to care what a freaking phony the woman is. It's all we deserve in our leaders, I guess.

And LBJ, who spent his entire life in public service and ended up a multi-millionaire. How did he do that? Examples of that sort of thing among liberals are numerous. It's almost like the whole point of progressive politics is to garner a lot of money and power for the individual progressives.

Meh, one can be against such things in theory and still take advantage of them, stupid not to. I also agree that itemized deductions ought to go but that doesn't stop me from itemizing... not that I have nearly the deductions as the good senator as mine are limited to state income tax, real estate tax and state car taxes.

Yawn.
Just more complaints from the right whinge about what 'liberals' say and do. It's all conservatives have left, tugging at our sleeve and breathlessly warning us about the monster under the bed.

If these leftist or liberals (or what you call them) believe that the tax level for rich people is to low, why can't Bernie, Kerry, and Hillary donate some millions from their own money to the Treasury.
