Rush Limbaugh doesn't shock anymore. In fact, he's just predictable. If he hasn't insulted at least one person a day, and one important person a week, then he's not being himself. So why even report that he's insulting Elizabeth Warren? Because the more people see what kind of jerk this man is, the higher the chances are that less people will swallow what he tries to vomit down the throats of his listeners and readers.
Rush Limbaugh called Elizabeth Warren a "parasite" and "an arrogant, condescending, conceited snob who has profound resentment" after some things she said went viral on YouTube and was mentioned on the Drudge Report. However, the thing Elizabeth Warren said aren't false. It just seems that they are the facts that people don't like to admit:
There is nobody in this country who got rich on his own. Nobody! You built a factory out there? Good for you! But I want to be clear: You moved your goods to market on the roads the rest of us paid for. You hired workers the rest of us paid to educate. You built a factory, and it turned into something terrific or a great idea: God bless! Keep a big hunk of it. But part of the underlying social contract is you take a hunk of that and pay forward for the next kid who comes along.
Rush Limbaugh seems to have that same selfish fat cat attitude that people on the right try to pin on democrats and liberals. It's a "fat cat" who thinks he (or she) is entitled to every single bit of cash that trickles inward. They do not feel that it is necessary to pay taxes for the things essential to what gave them the opportunities to make the money they made. Public education, transportation, even the US Postal Service and its uses in business helped in creating these American business owners and workers. These people complain when taxes go up with the costs of living and to pay for the war that they supported when Bush waged it. This isn't a class war waged by the democrats. If anything it's a class war being waged by those on the far right, and it began when the richest Americans got tax cuts at the same time as a couple of wars needed funding. It continued when they opposed healthcare that could help so many underpaid and jobless Americans. This shouldn't be a class war, but if it is, it's certainly not "the left" causing it; they're only trying to remedy it.

Didn't all those people get paid to build that factory? Didn't the trucks that hauled his goods pay gasoline/auto license/toll taxes for what they hauled? Didn't the rich pay property taxes, the largest funding source of education?
More Marxist class envy rhetoric.
Hummmmmmmmmmm, now who does this description remind you of, could it possibly be the one and only El Rushbo himself.
Hummmmmmmmmmm, could be, the description fits him perfectly !!!
How about that, Rush Limbaugh once again protrays himself to be the asinine idiot which we all know him to be.
The rich guy she is talking about actually paid more of those taxes supporting the infastructure and such....for her to say otherwise is totally false.
This why a huge majority of american voters are throwing out all the lib bums.....you guys can't even tell a good lie, just like Obama has destroyed their trust...keep it up.......everyday you guys keep doing these kinds of things the more and more voters we get.......keep up the good work.
The problem is that the government has never supplied anything by itself, it had to tax the so called rich first. Yet today, half the country does not pay any taxes and that is currently where the disputes are being waged and roads and schools are paid for, primarily at the state and local levels. However this is changing, more and more money is being filtered through the federal government and this shifts authority away from the local and state governments to the centralized federal government. That is Socialism.
At the core of her argument and yours Chelsea, is the idea that big business is bad because it acts like a monopoly and has too much authority and is accountable to no one. For that I can agree with you. However your actions are in fact feeding your freedom to a much larger monopoly whose power if not checked can deprive you of life, liberty and your ability to pursue happiness, the US Government. If you are a Marxist or Socialist and do not like your freedom, then keep up the good work.
