The Democrat party seems to be trying to reshape itself as they elected former Labor Secretary Tom Perez as chairman of the Democratic National Committee yesterday. On the same day, however, their problems magnified whereas their Republican rivals demonstrated increasing unity at the CPAC summit outside of Washington, D.C.

A straw poll vote among Conservatives gave new President Trump an 86 percent approval rating “and overwhelmingly agreed that he was “realigning” the movement."

Although his views don’t always mesh with those of fiscal or social conservatives, he received “high marks in the poll’s 12 questions.” 

“The popular poll did not include a question this year about who was conservatives’ favorite potential presidential candidate, considering Trump won just three months ago.” 

And then, yesterday afternoon Eric Bolling hosted a show on the Fox News channel. Although the TV sound was turned off, a blurb on the screen related that Bolling's two female guests were complaining the Trump cabinet was comprised of nothing but “superrich” men. 

The guest’s point was that those who had accumulated so much wealth were obviously only interested in increasing their personal  fortunes, not helping the nation or its citizens. And furthermore, because of their riches they couldn’t possibly identify or comprehend the problems of everyday Americans. 

Having heard that argument quite often in the past, this time some research was done to determine the personal worth of the most ardent, vociferous proponents on the left. The vary same individuals that claim to have nothing but the interests of the very weakest and neediest among us at heart, far and above any personal desire for personal gain.     

Topping the list of the wealthy among those finding fault with “rich” Republicans who only seek to gain for themselves was Bill Gates whose net worth is reported to be 85 billion dollars.

Next came Warren Buffet at $62 billion and then major provocateur George Soros at $28.5 billion. Oprah Winfrey's $2.9 billion was followed by environmentalist Tom Steyer whose $1.6 billion derived from a hedge fund he founded in 1986. Barbra Streisand’s net worth is $340 million, Leonardo DiCaprio is $220 million, Robert De Niro’s is $200 million, George Clooney’s is $180 million, Robert Redford’s $170 million while Matt Damon’s accrued $140 million for himself.   

Sean Penn stands at $150 million in net worth with Jane Fonda doing quite well too at $120 million. Then there’s Jodie Foster at an even $100 million, Meryl Streep with $65 million, newscaster Katie Couric at $55 million, Susan Sarandon at $50 million, Whoopi Goldberg $45 million and Cyndi Lauper trailing at $30 million for herself. 

While the always boisterous Alec Baldwin has garnered $65 million in personal wealth his salary on 30 Rock was only $300,000 per episode so he obviously has a lot to complain about regarding greedy Conservatives.  

Even Harry Belafonte has amassed $28 million of personal fortune while the View’s Joy Behar is one of the only real duds in the bunch accruing only a $12 million net worth. Which means she perhaps has a legitimate reason for disliking and distrusting the rich and successful whereas they’ve done so much better financially than she has.

On the barrel’s bottom of celebrities is Ed Asner’s $10 million worth followed by Ralph Nader’s $4.2 million that’s been reported.

Having gotten a financial perspective on the loudest public figures the thought arose that leftist politicians ought to be included, whereas they too claim that others success and welfare is their major driving power.

At the top of the list for the last administration was John Kerry whose posted net worth is $194 million. Next came Nancy Pelosi at $120 million followed by Hillary Clinton’s $45 million.
Somehow or other Barack Obama managed to attain $12.2 million as a public servant while Erik Holder gained $11.5 million for himself.

Although Elizabeth Warren ‘s current worth could not be found, as of the end of 2011 it was estimated to be as high as $14.5 million.

So, here we have a group of individuals who’ve obtained significant fortunes for themselves, which is certainly representative of fulfillment of the American dream and to be lauded.

However, to have attained that much combined wealth and then criticize or demean Republicans as being out of touch with the general public because they come from the “greed” driven business sector is not only hypocritical, its an outright malicious fabrication. 

What’s more, this Democrat farcical double-standard should be mentioned often in the new POTUS’s speeches and tweets. Because nothing harms frauds more than public disclosure.

That’s it for today folks.

Adios
