@hofifut neither does he, but i never expect intelligence from haters.

He just says hes not rich. And to my knowledge hes not a multi-millionaire.

Well, maybe Al Gore is paying that much, but he sure isnt based on his own business.

but haters will be haters.

To you I guess its poor and rich, and to him its rich and not rich.

Sounds like Ana is pitching an idea of a salary raise to Cenk haha, she wants that money!

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.

that's where Obama spent taxpayers money on, stupid campaign ads.. Ron Paul.. in fact, anyone 2012 except Obama just because i don't care for him.

@ihaterobbie123 I did not reply to you, you replied to me, and obviously you have missed the point of my post. There is a problem with you people. The problem is your mindset, which forces you to jump to false conclusions, based on the wrong assumptions.

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.

nice guy

@ihaterobbie123 All I said that majority of Americans would be happy to make 75k, and would solve majority of their problems. How do you extrapolate theft out of that with your post? Your reply was irrelevant to my post, that is why you are not being debated.

[ihaterobbie123]

@nnossov Your first reply, any this one, is just an elaborate "no".

You're saying things which are consistent with what I said, and then denying their implications so as to avoid scrutiny.

Putting your fingers in your ears and denying everything isn't going to work. The fact is that you regard the content of this video with more esteem than simple acknowledgement.
