This time it's Nick Hanauer, who a few years back sold his company to Microsoft for $4.6 billion. He says he's never once created a single job.
Hell, Clinton took checks from schoold Kids. Guys like this and Buffett are full of crap. They can give the government all the money they want. They are full of it.
Wow. Amazing how he created companies without creating any jobs. From a quick look at the link, and I admit it was quick, he created companies but no jobs. Amazing how those companies ran without employees or workers.
I may expand my business.
Or could it be liberal guilt. He has 4.6 billion. BILLION. BILLION. and he doesn't care if they raise taxes on people like me.
I don't have one billion. Gosh, not 500 mil. Wow, not 100 mil.
My favorite line from the interview: "I'm not some liberal do-gooder. The facts are that my business depends on people being able to afford to buy what I make."
I couldn't have said it better myself. The survival of the top 1% is dependent on the survival of the middle class.
I don't believe this guy any more than I believed Nixon.
If the guy truly feels so fucking badly, he could always write a $4.5 Billion dollar check to Uncle Sam. He'd still be in the 1% with a $100 million, and he could get rid of some of the guilt he is carrying around.
...it's him not being able to run a business if everyone is too broke to buy his products.
Sounds like "enlightened self-interest" to me.
but of course you are equal parts liar and fool.
Sorry, but you are in "too stupid to talk to" mode, so I will do the smart thing and not comment any further on this post. At least not to you.
Have fun wallowing in the pity party of your own making.
if the 1% don't give any back, how can we give them anymore money? But I am not mad at the 1% that earned their money, I am mad as hell at the .01% that stole all the money from the poor and middle class in the bank robbery and stealing of pensions and homes lost, the war profiteers that make billions while my brother fights on the front line. I am definitely not mad at the poor living on assistance. Although I have acquired a few "bears" that I have fed and they keep coming back for more and more; which is aggravating, exhausting and an energy drain.
