Perhaps some. But, generally, "liberals" are rather turned off by the overarching bloatedness of the fascists in respect of their bodies, egos and bank accounts. usually, always wanting "more", when you already have "enough", is a sign of pathology that needs addressing, eh? :))))

I don't think so. How can you claim that liberals are all college-educated cosmopolitan coastal elitists one moment, and the next say they are jealous of conservative wealth? It might make sense to argue this if American liberals really believed in redistributive economic justice, but - let's be honest here - the Democrats are not going to leave any European social democracies behind when it comes to rediostribution of wealth. But I think the key reply to your question is the key contradiction in US politics - that - as the Onion headline after the last election ran: "Nation's Poor Re-elect Nation's Rich." The core supporters of the Republicans, the party who represent the interests of the wealthiest sector of society, are working-class and rural Americans. This fact is hard to explain.
So in short: no. Some left-wing parties may practise the 'politics of envy', but the US Democrats certainly do not.

I have been labeled but con and lib. But I am quite happy with myself. Could I use more, of course, but am I going to go out of my way, lose time with my family, friends and loved ones to acquire more wealth, Hell No! There are many more important things in life then money. As long as there is a roof over my head, clothing on my children my husband and myself, food in our bellies I am quite content. I remember that I am part of the top percentage of the wealthiest in the world, even though I am considered middle class compared to a few. I compare what I have to what the rest of the world doesn't have. And that makes me even more content. So, do tell, what do I or anyone else in the US have to be jealous of, really?

Liberals work on the economic theory of a zero sum game. In other words if you through hard work and perserverance have accumulated wealth...you must by default have screwed someone else out of something in the attainment of your wealth.
Life does not work that way....its not a zero sum game.
So the answer to your question is YES

Well some are, but some like Kerry, Kennedy, Pelosi, Dingy Harry, Feinstein, Clinton have more money than most Republican's, and ironically enough some of that is Oil money, lol!

Absolutely! Warren Buffett for example. Man, is he jealous of Bill Gates! He is so pissed that he's only the SECOND richest man in the world. Yessir, he's jealous. AND George Soros!! He's only worth $6 billion! Not even double digit billions! He DESPISES the conservatives who are richer than he!!
You have clearly hit the nail on the head! A homerun! Good show, old chap!

Ask Bill Gates. Many liberals are very wealthy, so I doubt that is a cause for much jealousy.

There are just as many wealthy liberals.
I personally am not a very materialistic person and as long as my primary needs are met and I have the people I love around me ----I feel pretty wealthy!

There are just as many wealthy liberals as they are conservative... the difference is conservatives are stingy and selfish with theirs.
