Plus, why not? Everyone knows that the very rich own politicians, why not admit it openly and operate on that basis? The right doesn't care and the left doesn't count.Susan of Texashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00076915322771385454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2222630007427380394.post-62388499602389286312011-03-30T14:57:20.937-05:002011-03-30T14:57:20.937-05:00she and her followers sure do get butthurt about t...she and her followers sure do get butthurt about the kochwhore label. they protest too much.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2222630007427380394.post-80079072731401046872011-03-30T10:01:18.936-05:002011-03-30T10:01:18.936-05:00They must get a thrill manipulating everyone aroun...They must get a thrill manipulating everyone around them to get their own way.Susan of Texashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00076915322771385454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2222630007427380394.post-23147425717386194452011-03-29T23:50:00.751-05:002011-03-29T23:50:00.751-05:00GITTES: Why are you doing it?

I mean, you make $50K but wish it was $100K or $200K. Sure, I get that. You own $1M in financial assets, and wish it was $10M or $20M. Sure, I even get that.<br /><br />But, you are worth $28B and work tirelessly to suborn journalists and bribe politicians so you can get to $44B? What the hell for? What is left to buy? Why not retire? Why not buy a tropical island, a chalet at Aspen and a private jet, play golf every morning and ski every night? You could invest it in T-Bills, waste $1M/day and the principal would still keep growing because you're not even burning through the interest.<br /><br />Of course, the fact that I can't wrap my head around this is proof (if I needed any more) that I will not face this dilemma in my lifetime.Lurking Canadiannoreply@blogger.com
