Yep, a typical true left wing Socialist.

But then, he could afford to be. After all, he didn't have to practice it to preach it.
Maybe I'm being a bit thick here, but..

Are you saying you can't be a socialist if you have wealth?
Are you saying that because you are a socialist you cannot want what is best for your kids?
Are you saying that to be a true socialist you have to be as poor as the little match girl?
Are you saying that only capitalists are allowed to be wealthy?

The difference between a rich socialist and a rich capitalist is that one wants others to have what he has and strives to give them the opportunity to do so, whilst the other wants everything for himself, even though he will never use most of it.

Funny how capitalists claim that socialists are just jealous of the wealth they have, then when they actually find a socialist who has a few quid they accuse them of betraying the cause
