These are the words of a person who has not known how hard survival is for most of society.
As well, he either has no concept at all, of the liberty ending transfer of sovereignty to permanent government thugs
and bureucraticc lords, in their war to bring us all into a communist totalitarian state, or he understands it all well, and is advocating government thugs have absolute control and power over socierty.
He is literally advocating giving government power to dictate how much value a person is allowed to have!
He is advocating subjugation and slavery to an all powerful centralized sovereign.
I don’t believe he is that dumb, or willing to become a slave, so he is using his status and value to dictate how the rest of society lives. Could be he has so many left wing buddies working with him, he knows subjugation of society also brings with it the elimination of future competition.
Like all lefties, he is motivated by the evil desire to subjugate the world to his will.
Number one, most of Zuckerberg’s money is on paper....in the form of company stock.
Second, who the hell is Zuckerberg, Warren, crazy Bernie, or anyone else to say how much money a person should or should not have, it’s none of their business!
Third, if short-assed Zuckerberg wants to assuage his guilt, he can sell $2 billion worth of his stock and send it to me. I would be happy to take it off his hands!
And fourth, the likelihood of a bus load of super-models banging on my front door and begging me to father their babies is more likely than that communist pale-face fake Indian Elizabeth Warren becoming president!
I deserve every penny—I promise to enjoy it with no guilt!
Hey mark, you pimple faced nerd. Set an example.
If Zuckerberg wants to merit the mere praises of men he could give away all that he has to the poor without molesting anyone else by heaping more power on government to harm them.
Fine Zuck. Give yours away.
deserves? no. you have to earn it.
those that earn it aren’t scrooge mcduck ... they aren’t going to roll around in their billions in their bedroom. they’re going to at least put it in the bank... which will get lent out to other business owners who will pay their employees, or invest in more R&D, or etc.
Most likely they will invest it in the stock market or possible let it ride as venture capital for a new company. either way, the money again helps fuel other companies... companies who’ve been investigated and believed to have the highest chance of success, and therefore highest yield, going into the future.
this is how capitalism helps to ferret out those companies best suited to survive
this is also the reason why capitalism succeeds where socialism fails... the decentralized control of investment capital through individual scrutiny and self interest (to earn more money via good investments)
Good. Give me some of the money you made showing me stupid ads about things that I don’t want.
Fine. I’ll take 500 million of your stash. That way I won’t be no steenking billionaire.
To quote William Munny: “Deserve’s got nothing to do with it.”
No one deserves to have that much money
Democrats agree give it to us or we will take it.
The man who gets to decide how much you deserve or get is your king. He owns both you and your money.
HE IS A LIAR.
I asked a younger guy I work with this question yesterday after he was telling me how obscene the wealth of these people is. “What gives you the right to determine how much another person makes?” He had no answer, so I asked him again, “We make more than a lot of people do, what would you tell them if they starting screaming at us that what we make is obscene?”
He got the point. He’s a smart kid, just has never paid attention to politics at all and is only starting to look at things.
What is the incentive for anyone to produce or invest after reaching the 999 million mark under Bernie Sanders’ ideal administration? The moron Bernie has no clue about the practical consequences of his counter-productive policy proposals.
Sanders himself is such a hypocrite. It’s okay for him to make several million writing a fake-fraud-phoney book about his own worthless, lazy rear end. Sanders never had his first job until he became the worthless mayor of Burlington, Vt, in 1981 at age 39. For Bernie, taking a real job would be tantamount to “selling out to the man.” Then he has the chutzpah to say he “comes from the working class.” Earth to Bernie: to come from the working class, you actually have to have done some work.
“Our Revolution” indeed. It would be revolutionary for this Brooklyn born putz if he actually took a real job, which will never happen to this nasty old fart now that he has a major heart condition.
I got a warm feeling inside when I heard Bernie had serious heart trouble. This is the final nails in the coffin to make sure this Communist clown will never become president.
Whoever rids us of this guy is worth every penny of it.
