Just by gettin rich, she has already "paid back". First, she has paid a bundle of taxes to support not only the good stuff like the military, but also taken some of the load off the rest of us for all the crap the govt. spends money on. Second, she has employed a small army of people who have thus earned wages, paid taxes, supported their familys, all the other stuff that raises people out of poverty. Third, she has sold a jillion dollars worth of product, which has also allowed companies to hire another army of people who otherwise might be out of work, or making less money. Fourth, she has spent her money on shoes, sheets, etc., all of which are produced by another group of companies and employees. Everybody in this country ought to pause for 30 seconds every day and say a silent prayer of thanks for the rich. They help everybody just be becoming rich
I still say that a person who goes to the poorest country on earth and starts a business, hires one employee and pays him a wage that will allow him escape poverty does more good for humanity than a hundred Mother Theresa's who do nothing but pray for the poor and hold their hand while they starve.
Please don't disparage Mother Theresa. Who are you, Christopher Hitchens? If Mother Theresa did nothing more than pray for the poor & hold their hand, it would be more than most of us do. As it was, she housed them, and fed them, and clothed them - AND held their hand & prayed for them.
