Pandering to populists; wealth is ultimately undeserving... everyone who works hard at a 9-5 but shows no real excellence or merit to go out, take a risk and foster their own entrepreneurialism is just as deserving of wealth as those fellows who got it so 'easily' by simply 'exploiting' or clambering over the backs of others.
That's not what he said though. He said rich people didn't get there on their own, which is true. He pointed out that hard work or intelligence alone is not what makes you successful, which is also true.
For thirteen years I had a dog with fur the darkest black. For thirteen years he was my friend, oh how I want him back.

Mitt Romney has also said almost the exact same thing as well, which is the really amusing part of this little oddity.
Amidst the mists and coldest frosts he thrusts his fists against the posts and still insists he sees the ghosts.

I'll bring the nachos!
The good thing about Nachos is that even thought they're covered in cheese and hence super high in fat, Melissia and other female Dakkaroos can eat as many as they want and not gain weight.
