Cracked: 6 Things Rich People Need to Stop Saying

http://www.cracked.com/blog/6-things-rich-people-need-to-stop-saying_p2/

6. "Well, $500,000 a year might sound like a lot, but I'm hardly rich"

5. "Hey, I worked hard to get what I have!"

4. "If I can do it, so can you!"

3. "You're just jealous because I made it and you didn't!"

2. "You shouldn't be punishing the very people who make this country work!"

1. "Stop asking for handouts! I never got help from anybody!

This is a fantastic article and perfectly sums up how I and others on the left and even in the middle feel about all this "class warfare" bullshit. Ann Romney should pay attention to #6.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
