Lefty billionaires expect us to lap up their every word.
So now we have Laurene Powell Jobs, widow of Steve Jobs, preaching to us about the badness of accumulated wealth.
According to TheBlaze:
"It's not right for individuals to accumulate a massive amount of wealth that's equivalent to millions and millions of other people combined," Jobs told the Times. "There's nothing fair about that. We saw that at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries with the Rockefellers and Carnegies and Mellons and Fords of the world. That kind of accumulation of wealth is dangerous for a society. It shouldn't be this way."
Despite that conviction, she justified her possession of her billions by saying she inherited it from her husband. But, she also won't pass it on to the next generation because neither she nor the late Steve Jobs believed in "legacy building" in that way. From the Times:

Ray krocs wife gave away a huge chunk of the MacDonalds fortune after that bastards death.
These people are hypocrits and a joke.
They run around in their private jets and limos telling everyone else how they should live.
Unless she repents and follow the Lord, then the best life and only hope is this very short and mortal life.
As the saying goes:
Money can buy a big mansion, but not a home.
Money can buy you the best medical care, but not health.
Money can buy you the biggest bed, but not rest.
Money can buy you all the food you can desire, but it cant give you an appetite.
Money can buy you a lot of attention and fame, but it wont give you true friends.
Money can buy you all the comforts in the world, but it can never buy you real peace.
Plus they were quite charitable.
Hear! Hear!
Back when I was in graduate school, I successfully defended a master's thesis proving that there was, indeed, a supply curve for poverty. It wasn't an easy defense, but I had the data and correctly applied the principles of economics.
The professors had to give me the degree even though they made it clear that they didn't think my thesis was very nice. Since then, far better books have been written on the topic, but back in 1988, it was still a novel concept.
I’m willing to help ease her mind- gimme it all- and live off of say $40,000 a year Miss- like rural America has to do- you’ll feel much better about yourself- I’ll hold the money for awhile-

Agreed, see my post number 4. Not only are ones like that woman spoiled little brats, they are also ignorant and brainless to boot.
[[If it was not for double standards, the Democrats and the left would have NO standards.]]
Clint Eastwood said “IF you could reason with democrats, there wouldn’t be any democrats”
LOL - it's NOT 'goodness' - it's that no one kisses butt like a non-profit to a woman with lots of money. I've seen it in action and it's NOT pretty.
These liberal 'elites' are buying first class fawning.
You hit it straight on the head, O.F. - the Rockefellers, Carnegies, Mellons and Fords gave a helluva lot more back to this country than the current crop of left wing Richie Riches will ever do.
And besides that, Bambi Sue (or whatever your name is) consider yourself lucky. If not for your big boobs, kinky boots and God given wit sufficient to entertain Mr. Moneybags you’s be out here with the rest of the peasants - picking sh!t with the chickens.
Easy for her to say.
“...But, she also won’t pass it on to the next generation...”
Because she’ll blow it all on her loathsome self.
Lot of Megan Markles out there.
I will bet if we suggest she takes all of her wealth GIVEN to her by a wealthy husband now dead, and give it to ANY charity of her choice, she would look at us as if we had three heads.
LAURENE POWELL JOBS: "What? No, no...I am really happy with what I have! I NEED my four Range Rovers in six countries, a mansion in each, and my staff at each! I really do need that wealth even though it is accumulated and given to me by someone else. I am really, REALLY important and I need all this wealth! I meant it was bad for everyone ELSE to accumulate wealth!"
So what is she going to do about it? Who is she going to give it to, when and how fast?
Like most of her ilk. A flaming hypocrite and virtue signaling fraud.
“Liberals are like little spoiled brats. Actually they ARE spoiled little brats.”
Back in the day those spoiled little brats used to get their asses whupped.
She never heard of the Ford Foundation? The Carnegie Institute now Carnegie-Mellon? Don’t you love it when someone rich as Croesus decries wealth as bad and evil. She welcome to give all her money away and live on Social Security.
