Tom, welcome to the program.  Great to have you here.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Hey, Rush, it\u2019s first-time caller, excited to talk to you.  I got a quick question for you that I need you to enlighten me on.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  I\u2019ll try.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  The protesters are all protesting these rich millionaires who work on Wall Street.  I assume &#8212; we can assume &#8212; that all these Wall Street executives are people with college degrees, worked their way through school, worked their way up to a company and are being rewarded for their years and years of effort; and I\u2019m curious as to like  before Lebron James, who signs a hundred million-dollar contract out of high school, that never did a thing. He never did anything other than use his talents to encourage people to pay him money to do things, work for their company, work for their business, whatever is criticized &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  No, but &#8212;<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_55874\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ObamaWallStreetMLK.jpg\"\/><BR\/>CALLER:  &#8212; by movie stars who make hundreds of millions and, you know, a billion dollars for Leo DiCaprio or whoever. Why are they not angry with them? Why are they not angry with the Olsen Twins &#8212;<\/line><\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, because &#8212; (big sigh)<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: &#8212; who buy a purse and sell it for hundreds of thousands of dollars and that\u2019s not obscene but Wall Street executives are obscene for having a contract or what they can bring to a company after working their way up through?  So I\u2019m just&#8230; If you could enlighten me on that &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Sorry, folks. I can\u2019t answer him while he\u2019s talking, so&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: &#8212; why they\u2019re not upset would be people they idolize and movie stars and baseball players with their contracts and &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: The reason is that there hasn\u2019t been a single professor or teacher tell these kids how rotten LeBron James is.  No teacher has ever told \u2019em that they don\u2019t have what they want because LeBron James has it.  Nobody has ever told \u2019em that LeBron James has a the power to hire them or fire them or take what they\u2019ve got.  They have been told, however &#8212; they have been taught, they\u2019ve been indoctrinated, they\u2019ve been propagandized with the idea &#8212; that Republican rich people who have the added resume of working on Wall Street are actual thieves who have taken money away from poor people and the homeless and from them to enrich themselves. <\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yes.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: This is &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Now, that makes sense.  That makes sense to me.  I understand that, that they\u2019re considering them thieves where &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  LeBron James is not a political &#8212; he\u2019s not a political enemy.  LeBron James, they don\u2019t even know what his politics are.  They couldn\u2019t care less.  Who were the bad guys in television shows?  Who are the bad guys in movies?  It\u2019s always CEOs, professional businesspeople. Corporations are always ripping people off, stealing, killing their customers.  Ted Turner had a Saturday morning cartoon show called Captain Planet, and it was all about the hero running around saving the world from corporations; and, of course, there was never any bigger industrialist than Ted Turner.  But it\u2019s not just LeBron James, it\u2019s any athlete. It\u2019s any entertainer. It\u2019s any movie star. The movie stars get a total pass because they have the right political persuasion, and they make protesters think they\u2019re one of them. You know, they go off to Haiti and hang around, get a little muddy, and convince people that they\u2019re actually trying to give their money away to the poor and all this.  It\u2019s all a giant scam, pure and simple.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Columbus, Ohio, is next. Tom, welcome to the program. Great to have you here.
