Everyone does want to be successful and see their family do well. We are in agreement.
Some of us do not stop there however. We want to see everyone do well so that we have a prosperous and sustainable society for all. Why that should make us "assclowns" is a mystery to me. Perhaps I should see if Lew Rockwell has written a column on the topic.
You sound like a beleaguered mother trying to coax a young child after a day of getting teased at school.
"Oh no little Timmy, they are only mean to you because they are jealous."
Get a dictionary and look up the word ironic.
Haters gonna hate amirite?
Warren Buffet must be uber jealous of your fortune.
Progressives whine because they're jealous?
Neato.
So what? This is what led me to say what I said.
Re-read it until you get it / understand it. If that doesn't happen, I can't clarify it any more for you - so you'll have to walk away with the question unanswered.
Progressives care... the class warfare assclowns care. Everyone else just wants to be successful and see their family and children be successful. Those who are jealous whine about those who are successful.
I saw an interview with a wannabe hippie looking kid whining that he had a college education and couldn’t get a job. Unemployment for people with a degree is 4.2%, maybe he should of got a degree in something other than liberal arts or just look harder for a job instead of wasting time protesting.
The alternative was much worse - to allow GM and Chrysler to go belly up putting millions more out of work and provide the push necessary to take a recession over the cliff into a full fledged depression.
That as has been pointed out many times wasn't the only other alternative. A bankruptcy handled through the courts in the proper way, would not have severed the unions from GM. They might have had to renegotiate their contracts and some previous agreements would have been voided, but that's the way the system is suppose to work.

Maybe Obama can find a way to resuscitate Studebaker, Packard, the Dussledorf, and so on, and let the unions run the the companies. That would create a lot of jobs. Of course they'd also need annual bail outs, but money doesn't seem to be a problem.

Don't forget Bill Gates and the late Steven Jobs.
I think what you are looking for in this context is more likely to be found in the Book of Exodus. Chapter 20, Verse 17.
Oh No, the board has been hijacked by phony Libertarians who think the Constitution only applies to white people!:2razz:
Right.
Both hard working innovative Corporate types who started up entire industries from scratch, and eventually making work for thousands, without benefit of handouts from the American government.
This must be a strange concept to the Wall Street laggards who don't appear to be worth the minimum wage they're moaning about.
No...I think they mean the Warren Buffet that made gabillions on tobacco, short selling stocks, and attends 28.5k$ fundraising dinners for Obama...THAT Warren Buffet...This would be the Warren Buffet who hides his money from taxation by putting it in a trust, sells products whose worth goes up if tax rates do, and is agitating to increase taxes that he will never have to pay, yes? The same Warren Buffet who gobbles up failing bank stock and then lobbies the government to bail said bank out in order to make good to... Warren Buffet... that one, right?
