Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) had a few sarcastic words for the “small handful of very, very, very wealthy people“ he said are blocking the proposed Democratic jobs bill with their ”control” over Republican senators.
Schumer made his comments in Washington, D.C. Wednesday in front of a group of firefighters, many wearing yellow International Association of Fire Fighters T-shirts. Vice President Joe Biden, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin also attended the event, according to The Hill.
“The only thing standing in the way between us and this worthy legislation is a small handful of very, very, very wealthy people,” Schumer. “Not all wealthy people, because as Joe Biden said, I believe most people who make over a million dollars know this is the right thing to do.”
“It’s a small number who are very greedy,” Schumer said. Adopting a mocking tone, he added: “Their view is ‘I made all my money all by myself how dare your government put its fingers on any of that money.’”

The Obama Regime and his minions such as Senator Chuck YOU Schumer, are showing that the Democrat Socialists of America are pulling out all the stops in their bag of dirty tricks and sleazy statements just to try and stay in power. It is my hope and prayer that even the idiots and ignorant masses on the left who vote for these bums just because they Guarantee and Expansion of the Welfare State that if these fools stay in power, the Welfare State will necesssarily have to end, because these fools will run out of Milionaires and others to Rob of their Earnings and that Earners and Producers will simply stop trying to Earn and Will Stop Producing which will End all Jobs Creation. If we had a Responsible and Honest Media in this country, these fools and their blatant lies would be fully Exposed.

BigPoppa I was going to post that up but those numbers are up to 2009!? I suspect he is worth more by now, I mean his hands like the majority in DC are dirty from the backroom deals. “202 earmarks totaling $291,421,190 in fiscal year 2010″. You can be sure whomever the benefactors are of those earmarks 1) are millionaires 2) giving him a kickback. Anyone that believes guys like Schumer arent getting kickbacks when they are behind that kind of pork I have some land Id like to sell you.
But what do we do with info like this? Do we argue and debate the OWS crowd? That wont work, and no sense in going to the media. We need to divide the left as they have done one heck of a job with the republicants in dividing this nation!
Schumer needs to go, NY voters what is wrong with you? Even you libs out there!? Why do you continue to put guys like Chucky in office who are screwing you/us while they get richer and play a role in most of the trouble this nation is in. If anyone out there thinks the problems of this nation will get fixed with removing BHO you are sadly mistaken. Our problems are bigger than one POTUS. Everyone in DC needs to go.

Unfortunately, there are lots of dumb arses that will fall for their lies.

The US Senate has become a disgrace to the nation. Senator Schumer acts like a scandal just waiting to happen. The American people do not deserve Senators like Schumer. Men like Schumer get elected by promising free money to people who do not work and to kill babies of women who just want to F. Promise evil people that you will help them kill their baby and men like Schumer can’t loose.

Just like the vapid and clueless comments made by the hapless Elizabeth Warren before him, I don’t recall any millionaires saying they made all their money own their own. Using invented “quotes” as a reason to heap disdain on someone is beyond despicable, but it is what I have come to expect from this fascist bunch. .

Teachers as far as I’m concerned are doing nothing more that train socialist gime, gime, gime duds under government direction. First responders are necessary services just like garbage collectors and I don’t hear anything about them. Manufacturing is the economy and none of them from either party are addressing that. Bringing those jobs back here is not an option. If that doesn’t happen regardless of the cost their is no future………

If you really think prosperity comes from government, you’re out of your mind. The housing crisis was caused by the government fiddling where it didn’t belong. It was guaranteed to continue unabated by government in the form of bail-outs. Inflation is caused by government. High fuel prices are caused by government. High college tuition is caused by government. the choking of the economy by diverting revenue to interest payments of the massive debt is caused by government. The drive to extract more money out of the private sector that could be used to investment and job creation continues by government. Government produces nothing and creates nothing. It restricts and consumes resources and wealth, it does not do a thing to create them. Get a frigging clue.
