Democrat billionaires at the DNC want you to know: Billionaires are eeeeeevil
If thereās one thing Democrats hate hate hate, itās those evil, greedy bilš lionaires ruining the coš®untry for everybody else!
Just witness socialist screecher Bernie Sanders railing against them at the DNC, with a heavy-breathing speech about how we need an economy that works for everyone, something thaÜ«t Donald Trump ā himself an evil billionaire ā canāt deliver.
Except that, right after Bernie, hard-left Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker came out to brag about how rich he was ā flashing his inherited wealth (about $3.5 bāillion worth, specifically) with a claim hāeās richer than Trump.
Huh?
And itās not like billionaires were absent ź¦¦on other nights, either.
Media magnate Oprah Winfrey came out to rail against Trump ā and Oprahās worth arš³ound $3 billion (though sheās self-made, unlike Pritzker).
We thought Dems were supposed to stand up for the little guy, not rep fat cats totally insulated by their wealth from the everyday problems afflicting everyday Americans.Ā
Like the crushing inflation Joe Bidenās econšÆomic policies caused, for example.
Michelle Obama took a similašr line to Comrade Bernie, claiming nominee Kamala Harris understands people who will ānever benefit from the affirmative action of generational wealth.ā
This from a woman worth in combinš„ation with her husbandą¹ an estimated $70 million.Ā
Mighty odd, considering she also said in her speech how āsuspiciousā her parents were of āfolks whoš took more than they needed.ā

Is owning four luxury homes, including a nearly $12 millionź¦ Marthaās Vineyard mansion, taking more than you need?Ā
And of course the Obama daughters are set up with $10 million or so each in “generational wealth.”
Look, thereās nothing wrong with being rich.
Itās a goal many Americans aspire to, and more people here endš up rolling in it than anywhere else in the world.Ā
An astonishing 22 million people in our nation are worth seven figureį¦s or more, vastly more than anywhere else and close to 10% of the adult population.
So weź¦ donāt fault Pritzker for being born into a hotel dynasty, Michelle for marrying well or Oprah for fighting her way to the top.
Democrats, however, lecture about the evils of wealth with the fury ź§ of St. Paul in tš»he Epistles.
Even though they canāt help letting the rich hog the stage and stuff their campaign chests.
