(16,193 posts)But it did make me do a double take. Wtf. I am not saying that that particular man was insincere. Just that we all have sore spots, and he is entitled to have his own.

(431 posts)Many progressives took him to task over the comments. I think the politicians didnt say anything, they just took it like usual. I dont hate billionaires, I just dont like how they dictate the party and dont pay a fair share of taxes. Ive heard the argument that we shouldnt have billionaires but I dont think I would go that far, that might be a little too far left, even for me.
