Cornel West is the one and the same as the socialist paragon of virtue who is ***SO*** concerned about the poor amongst us, that he wants to raise all of our taxes for the poor... I read about this virtuous Dude that he is, many years ago... He is SO virtuous while wanting to make ALL of us spend our money at gun-point, yet HE spends tens of thousands of HIS dollars on his fancy suits! For HIMSELF, and NOT for the poor! IMAGINE that!
