I’ve always said liberal do-gooders always want to do the do-gooding with money that belongs to someone ELSE. But suggest they do-good with THEIR money? Not a chance.
Exactly. In business school, I had lots of friends that were from Europe. They all LOVED the United States because of our fantastic wealth and standard of living. They also were amazed at how small the bureaucracy was comparatively, and how easy it was to open a small business, etc. They felt like the USA was truly a land of opportunity and plenty.
Most liberals that aspire for us to be more like Europe have never lived there, or if they did, had a ton of money when they did live there.
“I’ve always said liberal do-gooders always want to do the do-gooding with money that belongs to someone ELSE. But suggest they do-good with THEIR money? Not a chance.”
You are exactly right. “Liberals” will always talk about “the people” or “the children”, but will never, NEVER volunteer to help you out as an individual. They won’t even recognize you as an individual, it always has to be about “the people”, a vague “do gooder” term.
They are disconnected from reality.
I don’t take any investment advice from either Cramer or Suze (lesbian) Ormond. They’re just TV “personalities”.
If you want investment advice from a TV personality, stick with Jim Rogers or Wayne Rogers:
