29. Envy economics, give me a break.
Sun Feb 1, 2015, 07:36 PM
Feb 2015

Poor people aren't the ones with a humble problem, all they care about is getting the resources they need to...you know...SURVIVE. Calling it envy is adding insult to injury.

Rich people on the other hand need to make more than what provides them with the maximum level of comfort just so they can feel better than everyone else..all at the expense of the poor not getting the resources they need.

The only group who thinks the economy is a pride competition are the ones who are prideful of their wealth and deluded to the real struggles of the poor. Everyone else is concerned with survival.

And 6 years of a failed economy? Paul Ryan doesn't realize we're still living under Reaganomics. It's a miracle how well the economy is doing under Obama given that we are still suffering under the weight of a conservative economic structure. We need real leftest policies to make the economy strong again, and to do that we need a progressive congress; not just a good president.
