The oft-repeated leftist rallying cry is a moniker for all who can and want to be successful. The rich get richer as they continue to make appropriate decisions to ensure their long-term prosperity, unlike the poor who consistently make poor decisions and look to the government (and the Democrats in particular) to support their failed decisions.

Poverty is simply a synonym for failure. Most of today’s poor are in their present situation due to the many failed decisions they have made during the course of their lives. For many such poor failures, the first mistake was most likely the decision to either drop out of school or to ignore the importance of an education during their school years. This decision was soon followed by the equally damaging decision to have children they couldn’t afford, a decision that was likely repeated many more times.

These Future Failures of America then decided not to take certain jobs because it was “beneath” them and the jobs they do take, if any, are performed haphazardly ensuring long term job insecurity. Contrary to Democratic myth, those who are successful are not the beneficiaries of luck. Luck itself is a myth. Those who are successful have made appropriate decisions, such as staying in school, developing marketable skills, and working fastidiously toward an objective.

The poor are simply slothful failures who look to others, (i.e., the left) to make decisions on their behalf. Leftist leaders, principally the Democratic Party, exploit these failures by telling them exactly what they want to hear: “its not your fault,” or “blame the rich” and then the old standard, recently championed by Hillary Clinton “the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.”

Such mantras are devoid of logic and while leftists elites know full well the fallacy of this myth, they exploit it for political advantage, catering to the petty jealousies of these failures, turning such pandering into votes which forms the basis of leftist power: demagoguery.
