Wealth envy and Obama

In response to Jack Knowlan Sr.'s article on Jan. 6: Why do people have such a problem with rich people? My boss is a multimillionaire, and I'm proud he is and so are hundreds of others who work for him nationwide. He is the largest employer in Washington County, Mo.

I'm sure he has a large group of tax experts on the payroll to find every loophole they can. That keeps more money in his pocket for more expansion and to hire more people across the country.

These wealth-envy people need to quit their jobs and go find a homeless or poor person and apply for a job with them. It isn't going to happen. Deal with it. The problem we have is Obama and his $6 trillion in debt in over three years (more than any president in history) and out-of-control government spending, entitlements and vote-buying schemes. Bernie Madoff will die in prison for the same thing that is Social Security.

We need to throw all the progressive politicians out on their butts and elect constitutional conservatives to office and hold them accountable. We don't have a revenue problem, we have a spending problem. Wake up, America. Time is very short.
