The Pritzker holdings constitute one of the top 10 private wealth buckets in the U.S.,'' says Byron Trott, vice chairman of Goldman, Sachs & Co. and lead investment banker for the Pritzkers and Buffett. ``They've compounded wonderfully in value over the last 15 years, and Penny is one of two key operating executives.''

One is stupid, the other pushing senility.
According to this article, the Pritzkers (sp?) have fought hard to avoid paying taxes (moving money off-shore, etc.). I guess they aren’t patriotic! Or is it the “Leona Helmsley philosophy” that “only the little people pay taxes.”
Penny Pritzker? Head of the ORIGINAL SUB-PRIME SCANDAL at Superior Bank in Chicago???????????????????????
Dang, dang, DANG!
Beat me to it.
I am getting really sick with these alledged families who do nothing but hurt America.
Maybe she could rest for a while in jail where she could have all the time in the world to tat tat tat on her blackberry.
Why don’t Pritzker and Buffet write a big check to the IRS since they are well off? According to Biden it would show their patriotism. Like the Kennedys she comes from a corrupt family and learned well—that nut didn’t fall far from the tree.
Is Penny one of the 400 Americans, Bernie Sanders says made $600 billion last year?
“The Pritzker holdings constitute one of the top 10 private wealth buckets in the U.S.,’’ says Byron Trott, vice chairman of Goldman, Sachs & Co. and lead investment banker for the Pritzkers and Buffett.”
Notice how this demonstrates the absolute hypocrisy of the Dim’s and Obama campaign’s mantra this week - “conservatives and ‘private greed’ on Wall street created the current crisis” while we have the Pritskers as top money-bags people for Obama and Goldman Sachs and a ton of it’s executives and employees among the top donors to Obama.
I am absolutely certain that you will find some big corporate donors to both Obama and McCain, but I am also sure that McCain has far fewer donations from ‘Wall Street’ than Obama, as did G.H.W Bush vs Clinton and G.W. Bush vs Gore or Kerry.
Listen up America; “Wall Street” is not ‘main street’ (companies that actually produce something) and it has less well represented main street in the last 15 years and increasingly been harmful to main street in the last 15 years.
To invest in good stocks should still be a good thing. To follow “Wall Street”’s advice is not.
The Pritzker’s represent the typical “guilty white liberal”, only in their case, when you examine their shady business ethics and greed THEY actually have a lot to feel guilty for.
But, the additional shamelessness of their support for Obama’s wealth redistribution schemes is, as the Pritzkers well know, it is not them that will ever be adversely affected by those schemes.
It’s easy to agree to policies based on your own sense of your own guilt, especially when you will never suffer for those policies.
Probably so.
