Should we trust ‘wealth creators’?

Regarding the article, “D’Souza urges GOP to unite against Democrats”: Kudos to Jerry Cornfield for letting us all know what goes on when the “wealth creators” get together and circle the wagons to save America from the criminal gang of Democrats that intend on stealing America with powerful and mobilized forces that will “sponge off” their wealth.

I am speaking the brave keynote speaker Dinesh D’Souza at the gathering of the local GOP at the Lynnwood Convention Center.

If only I had spent time in confinement, I, too, could arrive at special insight into the world of the powerful sponge class and write a book about it, but unfortunately I entered the job market to toil my life away under trickle down economics and trade compacts that decimated the middle class.

But I have seen the light now, thanks to Mr. D’Souza. It’s because of the savage sponge class asking for a level playing field when we all know that if we just give the wealth creators everything, maybe they will share some of it … yeah, right.
