Millionaires A-OK

| May 16, 2017 4:00 AM

I am not a millionaire. I chose to work for someone else for wages and that worked out well for me. I chose security over risk. I worked hard and in return received a fair wage. That was all I expected.

I get so tired of liberal politicians whining and demonizing millionaires. Most millionaires are people who worked hard and took risks in order to succeed. They create jobs and benefit many. Greg Gianforte is a good example with the high-paying jobs he created in Montana.

The other thing Montana liberal politicians try to demonize is out-of-staters. I was born in Montana and see it as a privilege. I have no animosity toward out-of-staters. Most of the people I know are out-of-staters, but they are Montanans. When I hear a liberal wanna-be politician like Rob Quist demonizing Greg Gianforte, I have heard enough. Quist doesn’t mention that if he gets elected that will be his key to the millionaires club or at least a very lucrative income and retirement. But he is one of us and he’s not in it for the money — right?
