From reading so many answers on here saying conservatives only live to make the rich, richer and so on.....doesn't it beg the question: What's wrong with being rich? There aren't many wealthy people who didn't get there for a good reason, with notable exceptions like that idiot Paris Hilton (daddy, lock the vault already), so don't they deserve to have what they earned? And Libs, what is your excuse for the Kennedy's? Aren't they as much of the good-ol-boys network as anyone (albeit the Mass. g-o-b)? How did the police "magically" not do a blood test on the latest one to pile a car up?

Being wealthy is not evil.
I don't understand the jealousy liberals have toward wealthy people that makes them think anyone who has succeeded in life should have it taken away by the government so that it can be given to those who have not succeeded.
Sure, if you make good decisions and work hard and have alot of money you should give to charities and help others as much as possible, but that's a personal decision. The government should not force you to do it .

There is only so much money and food and oil
and all of the other necessities for daily life in the world.
There are a lot of people in this world.
You are fortunate to be an American but if you lived in a third
world country suffering a famine while someone in America is deciding whether or not to have that last Mcnugget, because
Multi-national corps. are making sure he/she has that option by
stripping your 3rd world of it's raw materials without financial reciprocation, You might see the other side of things.
Being rich doesn't always= evil it just tends to most of
the time.
Paris is her own industry now, she doesn't need daddy.

You bring up some very important points... Many Liberals treat wealth as evil because they are jealous and feel that distribution of wealth is fair (but that is called communism!). Many Liberals refuse to make the kinds of personal sacrifices necessary to become rich (like working extra hours, paying extra taxes, etc.).

Wealthy and evil are separate, one does not have to be evil to become wealthy or vice-a-verse! However many have had to become very deceptive to master wealth! So pending ones perspective views many wealthy may be seen as evil.

Your financial position has NOTHING to do with whether or not you're evil. What kind of person you are, how you treat your family, how you spend your spare time...all that determines if you are good or bad. Donations to people who need it, is voluntary, and that's great to do, but there are other ways to help in your community.

Being wealthy is not evil as long as you redistribute your wealth to the working class of America.

Bite your tongue, I worked hard to achieve my goals and accumulate my wealth.
Why is it that when one does risk everything they own, and does work hard to make money, once they get it everyone seems to stand in line to tell you your moral obligations? Yes I support many charities but that is MY business and MY choice.

Being wealthy and not giving it to the needy is evil.

Yes, you must work hard for your money, then divide it up evenly to the lazy, i mean, "less fortunates".
Aren't you glad the socialist democrats aren't in charge.
