Ah well Second

3rd ddamn u guys r quick

Man oh man I'd love to do something! But what? Put on some tights and be Robin Hood? This makes me sick.....

Maybe the guy who earns 1.3 million/day would let me sit in his office for a day, when he is taking a day off, and give me his paycheck for the standard 8 hour shift. I won't even go to lunch, and I promise I won't touch anything or do anything to earn it, just like him.

Actually he makes $154107/hour for a standard 8 hour work day. He makes enough in one day for any average person to retire instantly and comfortably.

My Sister works at ucla ,or she did up to last year retired and moved to santa fe.
Wonder if she knows that lady?

I Would bet that the Marine is from New Mexico!

got a love capitalism!

i won't disagree with the overall theme of this video, but is pisses me off that organizations like warongreed.org completely discredit themselves by trying to oversell their claims.

all PE firms don't pump and dump, fire employees, cut benefits, and sell off assets. many times, PE firms will come in and REPLACE the management and make the company run more profitably, helping all stakeholders in the company. PE firms flourish on their expertise on running a business well. this doesn't always include cutting the fat, it very often means just changing strategy.

warongreed.org put a lot of effort into this video and i think they have a good cause. but why do they need to overstretch and come across with a biased, unresearched, extreme view? it's unnecessary.

This video does not suppress greed, but encourages it. I also believe that the US needs more "progressive taxation." However, this video turned me off a bit.

I am so tired of hearing people who choose not to make money bitch about not having any. How come this video doesn't show the amount of dedication, education, and work ethic it takes to get a business running?

People that don't have much success in life are usually the same ones that spend their time watching lots of TV, don't save money, and get themselves in huge debt.

Good god these people's responses in the video only prove how they are where they are. Idiots! You never hear an intelligent answer.

Y can't u people understand how hard it is to even start a buisness like this. He worked his way up to this and put in a lot of work in order to get to this position. He also was in a position like you or me, but instead of whining like a little bitch, he did something about it. Just cause ur a lazy ass and dont feel like doin everything and u want the government to baby u doesnt mean u have to pick on the wealthy and sucessful.

Also he pays a lower PERCENTAGE not a smaller ammount of money. He probably pays more in taxes a year that u have in ur LIFETIME, or ever will. This video is so one sided its ridiculous, u stupid people need to pay attention to wat they are actually sayin in it.

I HATE STUPID PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!

What does capitalism stand for? Get fucked. - Tony Montana, Scarface

Whine, whine, whine. It's not fair, it's not fair, it's not fair!

Consider how many people this guy employs with his company and his lifestyle. The fact that he spends a lot of money on stuff can only help our economy! His company provides jobs for thousands of people and he personally pays people to take care of his stuff. Now, the government can tax all of those people and get more revenue!

Social distribution of wealth just doesn't work. It doesn't make people want to work hard because the government will take a sizable chunk anyway.

Taxing the wealthy doesn't help the economy. If you tax the wealthy they have less money to spend on their company and less money to spend on products that other companies make.

If you're fat, quit eating food that fat people eat. If you're poor, quit doing stuff that poor people do and do what rich do. The top 10% of millionaires in America were interviewed and the one correlation that they all had was insane amounts of integrity, honesty, and work ethic.

They did not wait around for someone to help them, they were not born with it, they did it themselves.

ALSO.....they give him tax breaks. But how much does he give to the community and to charities. How much of his money is ur SS money, or ur discounted health care. U people need to look at the whole picture rather than one specific thing

i am encouraged by the majority of the responses to this video. capitalism is a good thing.

Lesson here:
Greed is GOOD!
Kids: Bad
Teaching: Bad
Being poor: Sucks
This Guy : RULES!

I'm sure it wasn't just all handed to him, he had to work at it, then could sit back and pimp..

When they say pssst do something at the end, I just think yeah, get off your butt and work harder if you want that life and want better tax incentives.
Do what this guy is doing. He doesn't live in all those houses, those are investments. Assets and tax shelters. If he hit hard times he could liquidate and still live good.

if i had 24 hours in one of his houses i'd take a poo on his pillow.

Most jobs in the Philippines pay about 100p (about $2.oo depending on the exchange rate) a day. So the lady that makes $22.00 an hour should consider herself exteremely lucky.

No shit he pays less percentage wise than his maid. It's simple math...ITS A PERCENTAGE, regresive taxes dont make you pay less just because the percentage is lower if you made 450million and paid the same taxes any normal person does you'd just fucking quit because there'd be no point in trying due to the amount of taxes. If he paid 5% of his income in taxes which is far less than anyone actually pays he's still paying 2.25 million a year...thats more than most people reading this will make in a lifetime.
It's not my fault or his fault you can't manage your money any pay high credit rate or get a shitty job. Shut the fuck up its not his fault, because of him there's hundreds of thousands of people having a job...if it weren't for him you wouldn't have a god damn job to pay taxes on in the first place.
The people who believe this are seriously fucking dumb. The top 1% of the richest americans pay more than 50% of the taxes...this is ridiculous. This is the problem with our sociey..what would you do if you could have his home. How about bust your ass like he did to get to the top...and giving it to charity yea that'd be good...a fucking waste. Invest in something profitable so it helps everyone else too.

GOOD JOB

let's see, what would the poor people do with his money:
a. sell it on ebay
b. throw a party
c. have a big barbeque
d. buy video games
I fell more comfortable as a tax paying citizen with Kravitz having the money than all these whinners

Come visit www.war-on-lazyass-whiners.com

Ok this guy is obscenely wealthy. I salute him.

He gets a hard time becuase of pure green-eyed monster envy.

Who knows what he gives away to charity (tax breaks), who knows what salaries he pays the 50,000 (?) people who work for his companies... PE firms are there for a reason and it isn't always to screw things up

Oh - the www address above was made up...

A matter of interpretation...



An English teacher wrote these words on the board: 'woman without her man is nothing'...... The teacher then asked the students to punctuate the words correctly.

The men wrote: "Woman, without her man, is nothing."

The women wrote: "Woman! Without her, man is nothing."

P.S. To Whom it May Concern, get a load of "Japan Dolphin Massacre" thread.....it's showing more than a milliion viewers and the gosh darn thread shows 'danielrhodes' as first! I am in awe.

And.....

A man within his woman is grunting.

No possible permutations I'm afraid.

Had a re-think about this vid, the issue is not about the guy making money, we all need to make money to survive, it's the way his company supposedly comes in and makes cuts and sacks people.

Their argument against this would be that the company they have just purchased was underperforming and needed to be streamlined.

i think i'll go back to just making stupid comments

cheers

Good plan skid!

It's the way forward.

"RICH BASTARD" MAKES "INSANE" CHRISTMAS OFFER

by Ben Down and Phil McCavity, Finance correspondents

THE world's wealthiest man has shocked Wall Street with his latest headline-grabbing move.
Lenny Kravitz, who insiders say has amassed a personal fortune of more than $800 trillion dollars through his Swedish Cruise Liner entertainments business, this week made a surprise offer to buy the United States of America.
The audacious takeover bid - massive even by his own stratospheric standards - comes hot on the heels of Kravitz's $40 billion acquisition earlier this year of Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice and former World Bank boss Paul Wolfowitz.
A 2006 bid for President Bush fell through at the eleventh hour when advisors said thetarget was "overvalued" at $24 dollars.
Kravitz Corporation vice-president Samuel Samuelson III said: "It has alwaysbeen our intention to add The United States to our portfolio if it became available. Mineralresources alone represent a major opportunity for growth, as does the substantial real estate included in the package. Of course, there would have to be a certain amount of downsizing with regard to the human population. At this stage, we would envisage around 98% of human resources being offered voluntary relocation to countries with falling birth rates - Tibet, Iraq and Afghanistan have expressed an interest in accommodating surplus. Anyone not taking up this generous relocation package, would, I'm afraid, have to be gassed."
A spokesman for the Federal Reserve said: "There may be minor legal and technical difficulties to be ironed out, but Mr Kravitz's track record is pretty much exemplary, and he always provides the template for good business models."
Th United States is said to be currently "giving close consideration" to the bid. Over 20 people have been consulted about the demographical implications, including Tom Cruise.
Democrat leader in the Senate, Mitchell "Mad Mitch" Gopherstrangler, sounded a note of caution.
"Kravitz is a gold-plated fuckpig," he told the Times. "But as long as I get sent somewhere like Hawaii, I don't give a shit."

While I'm against blatent greed and don't care for people chopping up business for profit I can't hold anything against people who have a lot of money by working hard for it. That guy does not sit on his butt and collect money I can guarentee you that. He probably doesn't spend a lot of time enjoying what he has. People who live for money rarely do.

And what the people they interviewed said they would do with the money was no better than what is being done with it now. The rich may get a lot of undeserved tax breaks but a lot of what I see here is just typical jealousy from the have nots toward the haves of the world. There will always be the rich and there will always be the poor. That's just life.

Less is more

more or less

Enough is enough.

Queue the music...

A big time acquirer called Kravis
Bought Macdonalds so he could have his
Burgers and fries
With caviare pies,
That greedy old cunt who was Kravis.

Fire Merkin!!!!

A small minority have the big wealth, everyone else hangs around waiting for the scraps.

It goes back to the basic communist/capitalist argument.

What capitalisim does do is make money the most important thing in peoples lifes, when it should be other things like; mowing your lawn or carving some new chess pieces or inventing a non-hangover alcoholic drink or spending more time with your wife or lover or both and eating more, walking around places and drinking from rivers.

"behind every great fortune lies a crime"
he might be right

If the converse of the above is true, I must have led a completely innocent life!

'two goats are better in your bedroom than one in the shed'

always look west when the sunrises, if you see a shadow you're not a werewolf

never lick things even if it looks lickable

always drink a glass of water every 3 bottles of beer, you won't get a hangover and you'll enjoy the evening more

never cry in public

off now, looking forward to the big boxing contest

hatton v mayweather

come on hatton!!!!!!

A turd in the bush
is worth two in the hand.

It takes a big man to cry

and an even bigger man to laugh at him

The first step in a journey of 10,000 miles

People like this need to burn in hell

Do you mean the rich guy, the poor folks or everybody who's posted a comment here?

Articles like that make me insane.I dont pretend to know what goes on in congress,but me paying a greater precentage of tax making 40k a year than that jerkoff. How is that?

Now let me tell you all what I think. I'm sure it doesn't matter to most of you, but here it is anyway.
Such a blatant display of inconceivable wealth is wrong. It's purely wrong to spend millions of dollars refurbishing a fucking BARN, when there are little children in this world who are cold, who are hungry, who have no place to live, who have no clothes, who have nothing. It is wrong, and if I were a religious person, I would call it a sin.
There are those who state that poor people "whine", and if only they would get off their ass, they too could enjoy the luxeries and wealth. It ISN'T true. There are many millions of people who are victims of circumstance, and are not afforded any such opportunities to partake in wealth or luxeries. They are forced, through no fault of their own, to suffer indignities and poverty. And there are those of us that work hard, every single day, just to be able to enjoy the comfort of having a decent home and enough food to eat for their children.
Don't come at me with that bullshit that we could all be just as wealthy as this fuckstick if we wanted to. He was born into money, he was raised with wealth, and he was given the opportunity to easily turn it into a revolting amount of money that is not necessary for one person to be in charge of. Or even an entire country, in some instances.
If I had even one tenth of his wealth, I would use at least some of it to help others. Call me idealistic, call me a dreamer, but don't call me a liar. I would help people less fortunate than myself.
TWO fucking golf courses? On one property? Please. Cut it down to one, and those tens of thousands of dollars could have helped any number of people who are struggling to raise children, working hard every day, make a better life for their families. Don't even begin to preach to me about these people being misrepresented. They are selfish, they are greedy, and they are out of control. It is fucking rediculous.

you sure are free! if I had that amount of money I'd hire a hitman to get rid of all the people I dont like - mainly you morons here on Glumbert.

amok amok amok!!!!
I just won $400 playng cards.

anyone kill randal for $400?

camuck has now crossed the very thin line of threat...terrorist threats of "killing" and hiring "hit men" made toward people commenting here, glumbert are you reading this?

only joking asshole.

i'm greatful for what i have, and probably am much happier than kravis. Praise God.

i bet you're not a millionth as happy as he is.

Verrrrry interesting thread....went from deep, to funny, to deep, to funny again, and then back. Liked the funny stuff.

Kravis is Kravis...he is entitled to his lifestyle, regardless how envious (not jealous) I/we might be by his favored status.

Bill Gates and his wife have been similiarly gifted, though their fortune gained is more obvious to most of us - exceptional intelligence combined with serendipitously wonderful timing. And now they sponsor charities and enormous programs to serve the needy.

But I don't think they are selling any of their homes or giving up anything of their priveleged lifestyle in the process of following those goals. But we can love them because of their well publicized service to those who are much, much, muuuuuuuuch less fortunate.

I haven't bothered to research Kravis' contribution to the needy...perhaps it is non-existent, perhaps great, and perhaps anonymous (as many wealthy choose to do in order to keep from an onslaught of appeals from an endless list of needy causes)...doesn't matter.

While I can be appalled at "conspicuous consumption", I have to recognize the emotion that is working in me is envy. And I could say, "if only I had his wealth, I would do...................(fill in the blank with some wonderful action to cure cancer, rescue the needy in Biafra and Darfur, fund housing for the homeless, rescue programs for the underpriveleged, drug rehab and counseling programs, and an endless list of other mother loving/tree hugging/child care invoking/hapless and hopeless people helping...all them good things).

In fact, history suggests otherwise. How many millionaires from lotteries have done such things, versus how many have simply pissed away everything and ended up owing once again? And what have we heard about giftgiving from those others who may have been more responsible in handling their newfound fortune? Human nature is wonderfully predictable - we have our Mother Teresas, but they are remarkable in their rarity.

Anyway, FTB, or anyone else....define "greed" for me. I'm guilty, if that means I need to find someone less fortunate than me and dedicate a portion of my financial status to raising that person closer to my level. On the other hand, while I lack for little, I know of others who have much more....so should they not do the same for me and mine?

More to the point.... who decides what is "greed"? Isn't that so subjective, and isn't this video simply attracting the critical views of just about everyone, since none of us are in Kravis' category? Let's just get together and beat the figurative snot out of him. That's the message. I don't agree.

But I do envy his riches and hope he helps others....what I really want is all his money, and then I - moi - me - can ordain what wonder I might be disposed to bestow on others...or not. Hmm. Not objective at all.

Well....third wine does it everytime.

ya know this reminds me of something streamy once told me when we were shootin up crank.he said "chuck",,,he says...." jesus saves but moses invests..."
....ya streamy
he's a deep muthufuka

So do you think that anyone of the poor/middle class people interviewed wouldn't want to make his $450 Million/year? Its jelousy thats it. The problem with the arguement aganist capitalism is that it limits the options of people up and comming. OK, so you don't think that someone like Kravis should make $450 Million compared to these other people. But what about me? Here is a snapshot of my life and expectations:

B.S. Chemical Engineering - 5 years
M.S. Materials Engineering - 2 Years
PhD Materials Engineering - 3 years est (still working on it)
PE (Engineering Licence) - 5 years est (still working on it)

I am currently an engineering consultant making $100/hour and when I get my PhD that will go to $500/hour.

I hope to start my own company in biotechnology (my thesis work), which is big bucks. So, with all the work that I have put in, should I not have the right or the chance to make Kravis type money just because other people don't have the same income. People make their choices, and its wrong for someone who didn't put in the effort to try to squash the efforts of someone who did.

Internationaltimes....I say to you.....Red Rover, Red Rover I call.......danielrhodes over......if you be Randalflagg, billboat, chaz, podman, adolfvanker....screw it....you were young once.......forget the alias game altogether.......I call you over, on your own merit show up, your own honour demands its, please don't screw up.........have we not played nicely in the playground you sent us? Have we not exploded your net worth enough to engulf us? Remember you were once just like us......real, like us, not a sell out, like us, if u handed me a check I would join you like us....heh, heh,.....awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww crap.... I got my own point like us.........so how do I end this............I guess like thus.

fuerstjd!

Congratulations on your life plan.
But remember - make plans but don't plan the results.

feurstjd, such a hard screen name to get right, hope I did. You are obviously very intelligent, and made opportunities for yourself. I wish you well, and hope you see your dreams. Intelligence is a natural attribute though, not everyone is thusly endowed. Not everyone could attain those degrees, even if given the time, opportunity, and finances. And there are those who ARE capable, but have no opportunity to do so. It isn't quite so black and white as you state.
And I hope, with all your credentials, that your misspellings are merely a result of typing quickly, with a passion for your topic. With all the college papers and thesis you must have written to date, I'm sure you're a little more careful when not on Glumbert.

You are full of crap "Mitercut". If someone has a PHD and decides to prune flowers at $9 they are either mentally ill or they enjoy doing that so much.

There are scores of police departments that would hire her in a heartbeat and that comment of "opportunity" is true. True if you get off your ass and actually look. Not buying it. Fix your profile so we can reply to you, unless you have a problem with that.
