Rich politicians are all the same - they cry about poverty and underprivilege and say that we must pay more in taxes to provide for those who can't provide for themselves. Yet how much of their own money do they donate to the cause? How much of Kathleen Townsend's trust fund went to buy books for a local school? What exactly does Caroline Kennedy do with her money and influence besides head up organizations and throw fundraisers to get OTHER PEOPLE to cough up? What is Ted Kennedy spending his inheritance on besides booze?
And don't get me started with these liberal celebrities. Martin Sheen gnashes his teeth about poverty and homelessness and tries to shame us into helping financially - all the while he lives in a multi-million dollar home and has a collection of expensive cars. The money he spent on just one of his automobiles would feed a family for a year. But no - he wants US to give them money out of our middle-income.
Talk about hypocrisy! |
The Kennedy family is incredibly compassionate to the poor and they do share their wealth with the less fortunate, which is more than can be said for Bob Ehrlich. Have you ever heard of the Special Olympics? Guess who started it, the Kennedys. And if you want the rich to provide all their money to the poor maybe you should yourself. Instead of buying that dress or that new car, give that money to the poor. Mrs. Townsend is a great woman and does not deserve the personal attack that you bestowed upon her.
