Isn't that amazing?
He calls Obama a "socialist." Where in hell does he get that? Obama filled the White House with people from Wall Street, for Christ's sake. Is Wall Street full of socialists?
Good God. What planet is this rich dude living on? (Well, he does live in Texas.) To him, the moon must be made out of green cheese and dark must be light and day must be night. Amazing.
You've heard the phrase "smart money"? This is just the opposite.
Wait. You know what it is? He's trying to protect his wealth. He's giving away millions to keep his tax rates low, and so people like him will be able to keep screwing the poor and the middle class.
Sure. Too him, any form of equality is socialism. He called Obama "the most dangerous American alive."
Funny how these rich people equate their own selfish interests with that of the country. Blinded by their own greed, I guess.
I wish these people would be more open and honest about this kind of thing. Why doesn't Harold Clark Simmons just come out and say it? He wants to stay rich and get richer, and he doesn't give a damn about the rest of us.
NOTE: My young friend James points out that other right-wing fat cats have given far more:

They will go to any lengths to protect their wealth. Guess they don't want to give up their multiple mansions and their private jets.
