I was just flipping through (about 3:20 pm today) and stopped on CNBC, while tryong to find more news about the tragedy . I heard them talking about the guy who called America "stingy". They then proceeded to show a list of the countries who have pledged money to the Asian relief efforts, with the EU pleding $41 million , US $35, etc.
Next they posted a graphic showing the top CEO salaries in the US, and the top sports earners. Their intent was, obviously, to reinforce the "stingy" American idea, best I could discern...
These are socialists dedicated to naking profits?
Where was Ted Turner on that list?

I find it hilarious, in a way. Their envy is showing, and it's getting nasty.
Well, just look at Bill Gates' net worth, or even cash on hand. And don't forget the legions of MS management!
That's for starters.
How much is Bill & Hillary giving? Or their entourage?
How about the MoveOn group? Don't they care?
They wouldn't want to embarass him. He's in Montana, probably, with his $billions!!!
I'm surprised we haven't heard from Her Heinous...
George $oro$ caused the earthquake!

I don't know what, if anything, he has contributed to this effort, but I do know that he and his wife donated a billion dollars for children's immunizations. I wouldn't be surprised if he donated a large chunk here as well. I have heard that he and his wife plan to spend most of their money on humanitarian causes, and not leave much behind when they die.
Heard a story the other day -- before these tragedies -- that Bill Gates is the most generous in the world.
Refreshing, isn't it? :)
I normally would not have stopped there, but they were showing some pics, then I got into a phone call. After I came back, they were doing this bit, and I lit up...
Gates will probably give... but do we have to know?
How about Georgie Soros??!!!
I really don't think that the US should give any MONETARY donationtions. I think that the Treasury Dept or FEMA should have an International Disaster Relief Office. When a disaster like this happens the International Red Cross can submit a list of their needs and the FEMA office transferrs the funds to that supplier.
This idea of just giving them a check or transferring 35 or 450 million dollars to thier account is BS!! I want an accounting of the money and I don't TRUST ANY of these INTERNATIONAL THIEVES!! We have been RIPPED OFF to many times. Besides what is the Interest earned on 35 MIllion Dollars over a seven day period, whatever it is, it's not CHUMP CHANGE !! I don't mind helping anyone, but when they continuously rip you off, call you every obnoxious name in the book, get you into a war, causing the killing of our sons and daughters then call you cheap and stingy!? Enough is enough!! Tighten the screws!!
i didn't realize the number had been upped - last I heard it was on 4 million from EU and that the US and Australia has so far pledged the most.
The ever loving liberals like Soros and Co. were busy giving their aid money to influence political races.
How much of that Euro money is going to pay to restore the resorts?
