Celebrities and the Democratic Party have been beating the drum for decades on the need to redistribute wealth… take from those who have it and give to those who don’t. There’s simply no excuse for Democrat politicians’ failure to fulfill their promise since they control all three branches of government, right?

Remember the gal who verbally attacked Pelosi about where her groups’ promised money was at the “America’s Future” event a few weeks back? The desperation in her voice definitely struck a cord.

So I decided to do some digging to find the wealthiest and most successful Capitalists in our country so that we would know where the wealth is.

But what I found was shocking! Among the wealthiest and most successful Capitalists in our country are the very people who are beating the drum on the need to redistribute wealth. The Democrat politicians and celebrities are lying to their supporters.

  • $53 Billion – Bill Gates, Democrat
  • $47 Billion – Warren Buffett, Democrat
  • $18 Billion – Michael Bloomberg, Democrat pretending to be Independent – New York (Mayor)
  • $13 Billion – George Soros
  • $800 Million – Arnold Schwarzenegger, Democrat pretending to be Republican – California (Governor)
  • $377.2 Million – Jane Harman, Democrat – California (Congresswoman)

Just 50 people listed here who are among the most successful Capitalists in our country have a combined wealth of over $139 BILLION!!! If anything, this figure is low because they are good at hiding money to avoid paying their fair share of taxes!

Al Sharpton is on the Wealthy Capitalist List above; let’s hear what he has to say. Listen carefully when he says, “the dream was to make everything equal in everybody’s house.”

With Sharpton’s $5 MILLION, do you think HIS house is equal to yours?

Nancy Pelosi is on the Wealthy Capitalist List above: let’s hear what her audience has to say… They voiced frustration that they had supported Obama, Pelosi and the Democrats, but don’t see the Federal Funding in their states they thought would be coming their way.

With Pelosi’s $95.9 MILLION, do you think she’s spreading HER wealth to these people?

Examples of their hypocrisy – of ALL those listed, and many who aren’t – are endless.

So… if the lying Democrat FAT CAT Capitalists listed above aren’t going to give up their wealth and are actually positioning themselves to reap MORE wealth, where will President Obama (sitting on his cool $5.9 MILLION) and the Democratic Party get the money to redistribute?

Redistribution Obama-style is the Progressive left’s new poverty measurement and the plan does not include a way to pull the poor out of poverty but rather to keep them there and control them for political reasons – forever.

In early March, the Obama administration announced it will create a new poverty-measurement system that will eventually displace the current poverty measure. This new measure, which has little or nothing to do with actual poverty, will serve as the propaganda tool in Obama’s endless quest to “spread the wealth.”

Under the new measure, a family will be judged “poor” if its income falls below a certain specified income threshold. Nothing new there, but, unlike the current poverty standards, the new income thresholds will have a built-in escalator clause. They will rise automatically in direct proportion to any rise in the living standards of the average American. Read the full article HERE.

In reality, this is how redistribution of wealth works: The government takes from and destroys the Middle Class as well as the hope, possibility and ambition of the poor to ever reach that next level.

The Middle Class becomes a small disgruntled group that is taxed and worked to death, just to stay a few steps ahead of the poor they support.

The wealthy FAT CATS, who play the Democratic Party game and are part of the system, get richer. The others who buck the system get taxed until they can’t fight it any longer, so if still allowed they leave and take their money, jobs and ingenuity elsewhere.

Do a little homework and look at the promises of every Socialist and Marxist inspired government that has come to power and compare it with the outcome: the USSR, Hitler’s Germany, Venezuela today, Cuba, Communist China, North Korea and the list goes on.

Take a look at the lifestyles of those who control the Socialist and Marxist governments… THEY have all the wealth while the people suffer.

Democrat politicians and celebrities are lying to their supporters. When will these supporters wake up?
