One of my favorite movie lines ever ...
From Support Your Local Sheriff.

Joe Danby: [about his father] He’s got a heart as big as the whole outdoors, but he don’t have one brain in his poor old head.

Fidel Castro was one of the twenty richest people in the world.

Oh, I get it. The billionaires who don’t support globalism and communism are the bad ones. Clean them out, and off with their heads!

Those people will use her for as long as she’s useful to them, and then she’s Fort Marcy Parked.

I don’t mind people making hundreds of millions of dollars through works of their own. Inventions, original works of art and speculative trading.

But the tax system needs to be adjusted to almost confiscatory rates with protections for family farms whose worth is in farming property. What I do mind is how much some of these CEO and board members are paid. These people aren’t superstar athletes or Hollywood stars, they’re just members of the old boys network and network saddled up from their ivy league school days, skull and cross bones and whatever other secret societies.

I love that movie. Walter Brennen, Bruce Dern, James Garner, all great ones. Jack Elam,the fake Swifty Morgan, was good,too. I guess I missed that line somehow, and I have seen that movie several times.

I had the pleasure of skiing Purgatory about 4 years ago with my youngest son. Would like to go back some time.

Bruce Dern says it, IIRC, after news reaches the sheriff that the father plans to break the son out of jail. Such a loyal son...not. LOL

How about Qudaffi, Yassir Arafat, Fidel Castro, Carlos Chavez, Chavez' daughter, Maduro---all billionaires. So I guess those societies are immoral, correct, Left wing kotex? “She is an idiot’s idiot with a little girl voice that gives expressive form to her thoughts and dreams.” Scott Johnson, Powerline .

Envy is immoral. It’s in the book, look it up.
