40 Billionaires to Donate Half Their Money
 

Nice gesture, or demonstration of the socialist/communist/Marxist corruption of the wealthiest in the world? Discuss.

Well it is a nice gesture to the colleges and medical facilities. I don't know of much humanitarian aid will be shelled out! Will be interested to see the list of donors.....but hats off to them. THEY earned it, THEY can do with it what they will.

I didnt understand anything you posted ...after the "or":eek:

exactly. Riot is such a freaking moron.

But she supports Kerry docking his boat in RI to avoid taxes. :zz:

I've counted six personalities for her so far but I probably missed 12 others.

I guess it depends on what exactly you mean by "earned."
I mean....David Rockefeller and Ronald Perelman are on the list and they had pretty much "earned" their money once they successfully made it out of the womb.

And Bill Gates and Warren Buffet were self made and worth Rockefeller and Perelman 100X plus. So nice effort but 'air-ball'.

Huh?
I never claimed that everybody on the list owed their billions to inheritance. Obviously many of them do not. It isn't as if George Lucas inherited his Star Wars money.
But I guess I'll congratulate YOU on nicely refuting a point that nobody made.

Rockefeller is probably worth more than everyone else on that list combined.

Think about that family and their history, and ALL of their holdings. They practically control banking, oil and a big chunk of pharma.

Exactly. Some of the richest people stomped on lots of human beings to get their. Collusion etc....now they probably have pangs of remorse. Doesn't change how they got their(for some)....Anyway, you can't take it with you. Money is overrated.

they own a big pracel of land here near Tarrytown called Pocantico Hills NY , and yes they have a 9 hole golf course on the grounds

They have no remorse, and the donations have nothing to do with making nice.

and they were taxed out of their money like the Walton family in a generation or 2. Hard to pay 50% per year to the IRS and stay.

Actually, no, that would clearly be you and Dell being the freaking morons.

I agree completely with what Timm said. Never said or implied anything differently.

Neither do the scum that have lived off their (billionaires) taxes for the past, couple generations. When you, Yor mom, and grandma never had a job it's time to re-think your position of being with child and ABORT! IT'S YOUR RIGHT!

Try that as a monetary policy.....

Aw, we know you can't count that high ;)

I just want out of subsidizing your bum knee and multiple mental problems. Just pay your own insurance, shut up and fight the courts. Why bring me and others into your health issues? I'm too taxed with my work out to remain healthy.

Go get high and jog. :)

Uh ... already too many drinks under your belt today? Hallucinations getting worse?

Hey - you're the guy who jumps to conclusions and ends up looking silly. Don't blame me for your embarassments.
