Doc Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I think we're all on the same page in believing that what he is saying is correct; but also that he shouldn't be the one saying it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No he shouldn't, our elected leaders should be saying it. But they get more mileage out of saying 'you deserve someone else's fancy lifestyle and you deserve to have someone else pay for it and we will make that happen if you vote for us', so I guess the billionaire is better than no one saying it.

birdog1960 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 (edited) again from davos: fits nicely with the community college argument. In the West, too many young people are graduating from expensive colleges with high debts and the wrong skills, while in developing countries a big majority are not achieving their economic potential. http://www.cnbc.com/id/101364321 Edited January 24, 2015 by birdog1960 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keukasmallies Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Of course, all means everyone, both are categories within which he snuggly fits.... So, a lot of charities will soon reap the harvest he has accumulated as he divests himself of the chains of wealth to assume his rightful place as a hewer of wood and drawer of water. O not....

When people that have property simply shoot those that want to take it from them because they feel they are entitled to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok sure. An associates degree is the only thing standing between fourth generation welfare recipients in government housing projects and high paying white collar jobs.
