Class Warfare

From a ridiculous, and apparently inaccurate, article on the cost of Cindy McCain's Monday night outfit, comes this comment:

I respect rich people who EARNED their money. Don't ask me to respect someone who got their money from daddy. Her only success is being born into the right family

So, according to this genius, every generation has to start from scratch. It doesn't matter how hard your parents work, when they die it all has to go in to some giant "lock box" and you have to earn all your own money.

Well, that will certainly encourage people to work hard.

BTW: The estimate, $300,000, is based not on the dress, but on the jewelry. Several jewelers have since said something along the lines of, "there is no jeweler selling 3 carat diamond earrings that will cost you $280,000."

1) Why shouldn't she spend her money on pretty things if she wants to?
2) Don't bother to mention how much of her time and money go to charity.
3) How much did the Mrs. Obama & Biden spend? Why only mention the GOP budget?
