We need more progressive Billionaires, too many wealthy people are Sociopathic narcissistic gluttonous and greedy. Regardless of the fact that many intelligent people have great skills their political views are often colored by what they perceive as self interests unfortunately this perception is often tainted by fear, greed, bigotry, and disinformation instead of real facts and reliable information.

Very interesting interview, but the video should start with the interview. Nobody wants to wait 1 minute, 25 seconds to see the interviewee talk.

Wow! you couldn't be more jealous could you............. i think you will find that 10s of 1000s of individuals and businesses have become millionaires because of eBay. At the end of the day its a tool and if you use it right you can become one to. But if you devoted your mind to contributing to human endeavor in a positive way and sat down and built something instead of spreading ignorant rhetoric on the Internet, then who knows, you could even become a billionaire!!!
