Agreed, this is more limousine liberalism. My parents were immigrants and I made special efforts to live above their lifestyle as an adult. Its satisfying and I find no pleasure in living in shitty neighborhoods and worrying about life paycheck to paycheck. I've been there. Its fucking terrible. Having money is wonderful and, regardless of what the media tells you, it does very much make you happy, at least up to a degree. When you don't have money, then that's all you worry about. When you have it, you can focus on other things.
Ironically, I probably should be some kind of liberal, but see myself more of a strict moderate. As a Chicagoan, I just saw my property tax rise thousands of dollars a year to pay for public sector union deals signed in the backroom in the 1980s by liberals with a "pass the problems onto the future" attitude. Now my generation is paying for boomer excess. Now "liking what I have" gets harder because I need to work harder to make up for that lost money. My wife and I just cancelled a trip and I'm shopping around for cheaper house insurance and other small things to save money. Considering we're going to be on the receiving end of further tax hikes, which leads to household cuts, how the hell can we even follow his "like what you have" advice? You guys are taking what I have!
I noticed the limousine liberal never talks about tax cuts, helping entrepreneurs, helping create jobs and prosperity, etc. They just seem to idolize poverty and taxing middle-class families and when we complain, they tell us to enjoy being poor. What a loathsome philosophy.
