streetwannabewhile the other 52% of Dems are the rich guys

lol, was thinking this too. I figured that the Hollywood 'stars' dont consider themselves in the "rich" group. Just like Michael Moore wont admit he is part of the 1%

Maybe they are not rich (by net worth) because they spend too much. Hence the term limousine liberal.

 

Kinda like how Bill Gates donates more to charity each year than each of their entire family lineage combined

I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
 

I don't paint rich people with the same brush. Zuckerberg/Brin/Page are obviously more valuable to the US economy than speculators like Soros/Simon/Paulson despite comparable net worths.

Hard to see how that is a deniable statement.

Zuckenberg is alone responsible for producing one of the biggest negative shocks to the productivity in the world.

I was Just going to say lol. Zuck really damaged society. Google was obviously fantastic, search genuinely increased consumer surplus. But even Steve jobs at the end of the day only came up with useless consumer shit that nobody needed. Real value add comes from the guys that invented Internet and then guys that saved consumers time or convenience (eBay, amazon)
