And as far as "it's not that impressive what you can buy with money," amazingly full of shit. The man probably doesn't know how to enjoy the plethora of things he can buy, for example first class plane tickets, because he feels so guilty for being rich, which is actually a sickness. Fancy clothes, personal attendants, a private jet, a garage full of sports cars, multiple mansions in multiple climates, a nice secluded house on a huge piece of undeveloped land? Money can buy plenty of happiness.
Capitalizing banks doesn't create jobs? Because when you put your money in a savings account, that's what you're doing. When you put a few million dollars, obviously in a special kind of account which pays higher interest because it's especially useful to the bank, you're making a huge difference. Of course donating to schools and libraries and recreation centers etc. is also a great way to make yourself happy, by influencing the society you live in for the better, but it's not the only way.
Charles Feeney, I have like the same mentality as him. Where I don't need a lot of money were i can live comfortably then after that the stuff I have is just more expensive but my life style really hasn't changed, so whats the point.
No, actually, leaving a shit load of money in the bank DOES create jobs in that it is capital for the banks that they can loan against. This is a major reason why China is taking off. Because so many of them are savers, hence banks make more loans. Not living on credit.
1. Goldman Sachs tries to raise Islamic bonds ( called Sukuk ). The proposed bond issuance isn't approved because the bond's structure is fraudulent & not in compliance of Shariah standards.
2. Kudos to the regulatory officers who blocks & prevents Goldman Sachs' plan.
3. Refer : Business week & Bloomberg dated Dec 21, 2011
i didnt say trading stocks. when you hold stock that is an investment in that company. when a company needs to raise capital the can offer stocks. he never said anything about trading and neither did i.
this video is why i cant take cenk seriously on any economic issues. he says that if rich people want to keep their money in the bank that it does nothing for the economy. whether you have it in the bank where the bank lends it out, whether you have it in stocks where the company invests it or whether you spend it. they are all being used to create jobs.
@howdydoodie1111 jobs where? when? whereas the particular type of charity in question, if tied to infrastructure projects, might be a good SOP imo because by all accounts the Us of A really needs it, and they potentially take the donor out of the picture and reduce effort/risk/ethics disincentive
big ups to charles for sharing the wealth, but if you ask me that money would of greatly been more suited for the poor instead of a money hungry university

if a rich person uses their money they make jobs, if they dont, it does not, and if it is taken it taxes it creates waste. only one of these three is good for the economy and society.
@Joell5678 I was thinking the same thing but, they're not going to learn about money in college from some broke professor teaching it. You learn how to make money and flip it from wealthy ppl.
I know I'm in no position to talk about it, especial because idk if I would be like him too, or that I will be corrupted.. but right now: I actually completely agree with him.
@Bob1Mack You're childish or stupid. Money on account "works". Banks lends that money to people creating jobs/enterprises. Of course central bank-based system makes these connections a bit harder to notice but they're still there and they're very important if you don't want your country to go Zimbabwe or Venezuela way.
@Bob1Mack that's a Keynesian term and you haven't falsified what I said. Saving money DELAYS "consumption" to achieve higher consumption in the future. Let's oversimplify this situation: are you saying that 600M spent on factory is worse than 600M spent on wages and 600M spent on university?
being poor is not just earning less, or not being able to buy luxury goods. it is having existential fear. taking that away would make so many people so happy. not much money needed, just the couple hundred bucks that you earned with your hard work. 6250 dollars a month to live comfortably is kind of rich from that perspective
@Obviouslyced Would you kindly elaborate on the term "existential" fear ? i take it to mean the fear of not surviving the next day as so many in the 3rd world do.
@justcallmeassinine i grew up in germany. i feel very lucky for having that privilege. i guess existential fear in my situation is very different from the fear for your life in developing countrys. im also very lucky to have a literate mother, who taught me, what really makes you rich as a person. later on that changed. we never had money, but our perception of wealth changed, when we did not have enough to buy provide for basic things, like clothing or vitamins.

There Cenk goes again using the "those of us" when referring to those without money. Cenk, your Dad's a successful business man who helped you financially obtain a law degree at Columbia University. You were once a GOP staffer and supporter who was anti union and pro business. You have your own business now, and by all accounts, you're doing well. I don't begrudge your success, but spare me your act of how you're part of the poor and destitute crowd. I'm not either, but I don't pretend to be.
@hofifut to be fair, Cenk has said he was really struggling in the begginning with the young turks. of course it was his own call, cause he could have just been a lawyer and made good money. but Im sure he nows what hes talking about when he talks about not having money.

MR Feeney can you please lend me 5000 $ so i dont lose my home and cars ? please i have a 7 year old and am a single parent i did everything i could but lost my job im a broken man ,
@iseezapie Oh really ? Commies, Marxists, Progressives, Libs, Leftist Radical, whatever, your all the same. You all want to take from others to support yourselves and your BS programs that do nothing to benefit the country. You want to raise taxes on people who earn their money the right way. Your radical ideas are ruining the world, not only the USA.
@MarcoBrolo I never even said anything about myself, my political leanings or anything else, i was correcting your error, don't jump to conclusions and launch into ad hominem. And just because you don't have the education to differentiate different political ideals, doesn't mean they are all the same
tell all the people who support extravagant life styles they are useless and shouldn't have a job providing the services and labor needed to make those lifestyles possible.
give a man a fish, feed him for a day, teach him how to fish and feed him for life.
nobody can just 'keep' money, you must either spend it (employs people) or save it (provides capital for investment...or in other words employment.)
economics, like water, is very hard to control, and very unstable when you try.
So not only did he give an enormous amount of money to his alma mater, he did this anonymously? See, THIS is an example of rich people doing good things for society with their money.
Cenk puts it perfectly. After you no longer stress about making ends meet then you don't need it anymore. The only reason why I would want more money after that is so I can buy gifts and do nice things for my friends and people around me, that's what I truly want to do if I ever make it big.
@artbytandy yes, and I vote to keep the government out of your business and let you keep what you earn.
Lets just hope Ron Paul gets elected so we can send a message that this country still rewards accomplishment and hard work.
by the way, be careful with gifts to your family...IRS thinks everything you own or give away belongs to them and should count as income for your family...give a 100,000 dollar house to your mom...IRS with want $28,000 from your mom now...trust me...
It's true, that's why I don't understand these billionaire bankers freaking out over taxes, you're already a billionaire, you never have to worry that you can't pay your bills, that you'll end up on the street, that you won't have food or water or any of that while the majority of us DO worry about that everyday now because you hoarded all the money. We just want to live without stressing every moment about how we're gonna make ends meet.
Plus, look what it was spent on. Cornell? Again, I don't know the details of his business model and want to give the benefit of the doubt, but if the money came out of the pockets of working people and the net effect was to transfer it to Cornell's endowment, then I really don't think society was done any favors here on the whole.
These were the kinds of people I actually used to look up to, but at this point I'm actually skeptical as to whether there's any way to get to billions of dollars without hurting someone. Look at Steve Jobs and Chinese sweatshops. Even Bill Gates engaged in what I think were questionable, monopolistic business practices, and I say this as someone who really tends to side with Bill Gates on policy and whatnot.
Alot of people here are not necessarily "hating" this guy, but not really recognizing how great of thing he did here. Yes, he could have used the money to feed a bunch of children. Yes, that would be all nice and good. However, he decided to give back to the institution that helped facilitate his goals. He simply wants to help facilitate others reach those same standards of goals. Perhaps becuse of this donation, some student from Cornell will be able to solve the world famine problem.
with socialism (or a simple welfare state), every rich person would do this. by the way, the current government doesn't employ socialism or capitalism, so dont use the situation for bullshit. more gov is good, but it has to be an honest gov.
Why didn't he build a children's hospital? Or a school's in third world countries? They have nothing. He did do good but meh. Help the people that REALLY BADLY need to be helped
@azmexican i doubt he donated 600 million in more than one occasion. That 600 million shouldn't have gone to only one cause, instead of only donating it to a already well of school, so much more could have been done with it. But i have no right to talk like this, its he's money and he should do whatever he wishes with it.
@TheRatchetkid He is contributing to a major university, universitys do research, research and breakthroughs in things like medical science help a lot more people in the long run than just donating money to a hospital would
@elendiel0101 What are you doing crying that river in the west were we have plenty of fresh water! Cry it in Africa were they walk for miles through the dessert. ;-)
@TheRatchetkid universities help everyone. they train future doctors, mental health professionals, engineers, scientists etc. think about what you say before you say it.
@BillKiernan Yeah Mr. Obvious, and all along i just thought universities we're buildings people go to to sit around and do nothing. But no, people go there to learn professions. Wow, i just learnt something today.... Yeah, the university was already doing good by itself, but still, as if you heard me saying what he did was wrong. -_-'
@BillKiernan Yeah my home country in the Caribbean isn't well off. Every month we send something to family and friends to help them out, so yeah, in your face! You lost the 'wager' Am not an american born with a silver spoon up my ass.
@TheRatchetkid Ehh building a school in a third world country is like giving your money to someone who is going to die in a couple of days; it will do good for awhile, bu overall it will not do anything in the long run. A children's hospital on the other hand is a pretty good idea.
I don't get most rich people. if someone gave me 100 million dollars I would maybe be able to spend 15, maybe 20 million of it, save 10 million and give it to my kids as inheritance, but thats it. I mean all I would want is a big house, a fancy wardrobe, a nice luxury car or two and enough to live a lavish life. But c'mon, thats like at most 25 million dollars, what do rich people do with all that money.
@BillKiernan I've sat in the captains chair. In Europe barely anyone uses first-class. Why pay something like 3000 euro's for a flight if you can find it for 90 euro's as well. I mean I like traveling in style, but i'm not a thief of my own money.
@MrReoNetro "I've sat in the captains chair." whoa, i retract my statement then haha. i guess i was taken aback because to me, it's like the difference between riding on the orient express and riding on a nazi rail to a concentration camp. maybe it's different in europe but coach is horrible in the U.S. when i get off a plane flying first class, i feel refreshed and energized. when i get off a long coach flight i feel like i need to sleep for a day to recover
@BillKiernan On most flights here first and coach class have the same chairs and virtually the same legroom (is that an English word?). Indeed the second class in trains are like concentration camp transportation during rush hours... But when it gets too crammed we have the right to sit (in the always empty) first class. We also have more rights in terms of refunds and missed connections (we automatically get the next flight)
@BillKiernan There has been alot of discussion about removing all classes from train and airplaine transport in Europe, since the seats are all-ways empty and the second class is way too crammed
Yes I do know many definitions for it, you haven o idea what you are talking about on the other hand and I doubt you have the slightest clue where the term "capitalism" or "crony capitalism" originates from. Sad.
You only need a certain amount of money to live a perfectly good life. People seem to forget that. Being rich doesn't make you any better or more important than others. At least it shouldn't do. And we all know that no one gets filthy rich without someone else doing the work to make them rich and the distribution of this wealth is extremely uneven in modern society, even with taxes to prevent it.
Im studying to be an architect but the college told us we need macs, im working but just about making ends meat and paying my tuition at the same time, my family arent what youd call rich so asking them for a grand isnt realistic, if you could just provide a fake name and fake email on this website, i will be given 50 cents for 'refering' someone, please all i need is a name and email from 2000 people, tinyurl . com / c73qgau
$75,000 is all we need to live comfortably? C'mon Anna.
Have any children? I hear they're expensive. Is your wife a cunt? I hear they're VERY expensive...ask Kobe Bryant and Tiger Woods. Or the millions of other Men kicked out of their former homes paying alimony and child support (where courts don't enforce visitation). What about taxes? That $75K becomes $50K or less awful fast, and if you're living in Canada the taxmen are so far up your ass, faahgeetaboutitt.
I thought rich people had no soul no empathy or compassion? Just listen to this ignorant big nosed bitch Ana. "TYPICAL rich bad guy" Typical ignorant stereotyping class envy generating liberal bitch
Oh man, this is what really annoys me about TYT, oh look, it's someone who is rich and not a bad guy? Does that even exist? See the story about rich people having no souls. The generalizations like "the bankers", "the billionaires" this is class warfare.

nobody can just 'keep' money, you must either spend it (employs people) or save it (provides capital for investment...or in other words employment.)

Cenk puts it perfectly. After you no longer stress about making ends meet then you don't need it anymore. The only reason why I would want more money after that is so I can buy gifts and do nice things for my friends and people around me, that's what I truly want to do if I ever make it big.

Plus, look what it was spent on. Cornell? Again, I don't know the details of his business model and want to give the benefit of the doubt, but if the money came out of the pockets of working people and the net effect was to transfer it to Cornell's endowment, then I really don't think society was done any favors here on the whole.

These were the kinds of people I actually used to look up to, but at this point I'm actually skeptical as to whether there's any way to get to billions of dollars without hurting someone. Look at Steve Jobs and Chinese sweatshops. Even Bill Gates engaged in what I think were questionable, monopolistic business practices, and I say this as someone who really tends to side with Bill Gates on policy and whatnot.

Alot of people here are not necessarily "hating" this guy, but not really recognizing how great of thing he did here. Yes, he could have used the money to feed a bunch of children. Yes, that would be all nice and good. However, he decided to give back to the institution that helped facilitate his goals. He simply wants to help facilitate others reach those same standards of goals. Perhaps becuse of this donation, some student from Cornell will be able to solve the world famine problem.

BillKiernan 2 months ago
@BillKiernan On most flights here first and coach class have the same chairs and virtually the same legroom (is that an English word?). Indeed the second class in trains are like concentration camp transportation during rush hours... But when it gets too crammed we have the right to sit (in the always empty) first class. We also have more rights in terms of refunds and missed connections (we automatically get the next flight)

You only need a certain amount of money to live a perfectly good life. People seem to forget that. Being rich doesn't make you any better or more important than others. At least it shouldn't do. And we all know that no one gets filthy rich without someone else doing the work to make them rich and the distribution of this wealth is extremely uneven in modern society, even with taxes to prevent it.
