BET's Robert Johnson To Obama: Stop Attacking The Wealthy

"You don't get people to like you by attacking them or demeaning their success. I grew up in a family of 10 kids, first one to go to college, and I've earned my success. I've earned my right to fly private if I choose to do so." Robert Johnson, Founder - Black Entertainment Television (BET)

  • It's very simple really... wealth must be created before it can ever be redistributed.

    Capitalism is an economic necessity... socialism is just a political scheme to buy votes and get people addicted to the crack of government welfare.

  • Kudos to Mr. Johnson. I know of quite a few small business owners who are generally very successful. One owns two businesses, including a retail shop that he started less than a year ago. This shopt employs 2 full-time and around 4 part-time employees. Had the dumboKrats got what they wanted and taxed him more last year, he never owuld have started the shop which means there would have been six more unemployed persons and less of a tax base for where he operates his shop.

  • YOU ABSOLUTELY SUCK ROBERT JOHNSON!!! Your trashy network poisoned an entire generation and allowed the filthy rap culture to thrive. I've read where during slavery, various kings in Africa became wealthy by selling their fellow black people. SELLOUT!!!!!!!

  • @dedrawilliams Like everyone I've ever met on the political left when you're opinion is challenged you choose to make personal attacks like calling me a dummy. Workers did not make him rich. The free market system and the business "HE" created made him wealthy. He paid people to do a job in a company he owned. 47% of workers pay no federal income taxes that includes the working class. The top 5% of earners pay 50% of all taxes. You really think rich people are mad at you? Really?

  • @12364krp WORKERS MAKE PEOPLE LIKE ROB RICH ,HE WAS POOR NOW HE RICH WHO DID THAT ?Dummy !! and its not envy here at all they the ones mad at us simple people including you they do not give a fuck if we pay more then them at tax time ,the rich rite now pay nothing or 10% while working class pay 20% or higher o.O .

  • Johnson is 100% right. Our public education system doesn't look good when so many economic illiterates chime in with their drivel.

  • @dedrawilliams I don't understand your argument...who made them rich? Idiot? huh..Class warfare breeds envy and even ancient societies have historically warned of the danger of envy. You made not agree with him but that does not make him evil or selfish.

  • This idiot Robert Johnson!!! Some rich want to be taxed Obama is not attacking ,this just shows the rich hate the "poor " WHO MADE THEM RICH FUCK YOU Robert Johnson
