Are Conservatives Hypocrites?

The $200M is just what his father gave him. The tax scheme's that Donald and his family pulled off reaped him much, much more. And there are people complaining that Jeff Bezos got $300K from his family. Nowadays, that's not even 1/2 the value of a home.

here is the logical fallacy you just commited

educate yourself

Your logical fallacy is ad hominem

I did not commit a fallacy because I did not make an argument. I simply observed that, if you want people to take you seriously, it would behoove you to present yourself better. Use punctuation, capitalize correctly, refrain from juvenile insults, etc.

it would behoove you to stop committing ad hom fallacies
 
Holy ****, the stupid demonstrated throughout this thread.....

Sure. Both political parties are hypocrites. You all know that and if you were honest you would admit it. FFS Barrack Obama ran in opposition to everything George Bush did in his presidency and then lo and behold Barrack Obama did the exact same ****ing things. Trump campaigned on a lot of things and is doing exactly the opposite. Do you know who else does that? Every other politician you two-party sycophants vote for.

But the idiocy in the OP is in trying to shoehorn something I'm pretty sure everyone is smart enough to get into a blanket personal attack on people that advocate for capitalism. SOME capitalists (democrats as well as republicans) inherit wealth...but many bust their ass and create wealth by hard work. In 2019 alone there were 250,000 'new' millionaires...people that busted their ass to become successful. That number increases every year and it includes men and women of all races. There are already some 1.3 million Americans that are in the ultra high wealth categories and another few hundred thousand in the just plain rich...over 25 million category. In total nearly 12 MILLION households are millionaires or better. And again...that number grows every year. They dont get it from the government. They dont get it by stealing poor peoples pennies. And a very small number of them actually inherit and keep great wealth, but so what if they did? You dont think the Obama girls are going to benefit from the success of their parents? You dont think Biden's kids didnt make millions of their parents? You think Chelsea Clinton had to WORK for what she now enjoys? When another poster shows a list of the very rich in this country is it completely lost on you that all but one of those individuals is a liberal and the one that isnt couldnt much give a **** about parties?

You people talk about earned wealth and privilege like its a bad thing. What kind of **** parents are you people that DONT define your success as a parent and adult as providing for your children the opportunities to build a better life than what you had?

Look...the pathway to success is NOT a mystery and it is still today absolutely attainable. Thats proven by illegal immigrants that come here with nothing and succeed. Thats proven by the people in every racial group that succeeds. Its not complicated. Graduate from high school. Get a job. Dont start having babies until you have graduated, are married, and have a job. That is the foundation for BASIC wealth. If you want to succeed, bust your ass. Work two jobs. Work three jobs. Have a plan in place for a future. And FFS stop spending so much of your impotent sad pathetic lives bitching and moaning about what OTHERS have.

And before you worry about someone else's character or hypocrisy, you might consider talking that giant ****ing telephone pole of a mote out of your own eye.

Some are and some arent, just like adherents to any political philosophy.

or maybe conservatives are just simple minded

We certainly consider the possibility. :cool:
And you don't know the difference between a philosophical Conservative and the adjective "conservative", do you? (Hint: Thread title says "Conservative" with an upper case C.)
