A fine example of why I despise leftists

“A lot of wealthy white and black people aren't bad but they control 1 percent of the economy and this cannot stand,” Biden told about 100 guests, including past civil rights activists and NBC weatherman Al Roker. 

“It's not fair because the business experts are saying that concentration of wealth is stunting growth. So let's do something that's worthy of emancipation,” said Biden, according to a press pool report of the event.
Let's ignore, for the moment, how much leftists have had to do with this(President Goldman Sachs, anyone?  Frank-Dodd?) and study that "Let's steal from people richer than we like what they worked for and use it to buy votesproperly redistribute it!  For the good of the collective!" bullshit.  From someone who for decades has spent Deity-knows-how-much of other peoples' money to play trains with Amtrak, and other such wonderfulness.

When I was young, it always bothered me that most people around were Democrat by default; even when they thought the candidate was a drunk/thief/lying bastard, they'd still vote for the Party Candidate no matter what.  It just seemed so damned DUMB.  And it was.  Lots of people of more independent mind still registered Democrat, because at least they had some slight say in things; the R candidates almost never had any chance around here, and being able to vote in the D primary sometimes allowed some control over a matter.

By the time I'd started voting I'd also learned that the Democrat politicians who were not leftist-minded and/or thieves couldn't be counted on; push came to shove, most of them would do what the Party wanted even when they knew it was wrong, or crooked, or disgusting.

(Yes, I know, some people are screaming "What about the Republicans!"; different rant)

And the Democrat party has become this: skin color(and every other 'minority' status possible) counts over all, theft of private property is Good(as long as they're in control of it), the US is a nasty country, the House Black and Latino Caucus ignore blacks and latinos who don't have the right letter after their name(or openly trash them) and somehow this socialist crap that's damaged/ruined/destroyed all across the globe will work THIS time, because THEY'RE in charge!

Enough to make you go paint(washable paint, of course) a big 'D' on every baby seal you can find.
