  1. That's silly. The only way that generates money is if taxes exceed 100% of income. That myth comes from jealous bastards who refuse to believe rich people can be kind.

  12. Most of the self made billionaires I know of give away a lot of their fortune. Unsurprisingly, they're all workaholics and don't know how to spend it.

  13. No he said it was difficult. And his point was you'd have to be willing to throw it all away in God's service. I.E. this is why you see a lot of billionaires give away much of their fortunes as soon as they reach the top.

  14. Dude, you can google inflation adjusted values. And no, the dollar hasn't lost that much of it's value. Around the time of the events in question one or two dollars was a good day's wage.

  15.  @buildmotosykletist1987  Not if you do anything ridiculous. Once you go beyond a 12 hour day or 60 week productivity starts falling due to exhaustion. I once quit on my first day because they were expecting us to work 80 hours or more... I told them I was enrolled in college during the interview. Also, that place was only 30% staffed.

  16. Vhut? Rockefeller really did improve the quantity and quality of industry, that's why he was unfathomably rich. And you can't buy power in the civilized world these days. You should here about Frank Phillips, who built a museum out of his own pocket because he didn't want to lay off his workers during the depression.

  17. Of course there's robber baron myths. Because greedy bastards hate anyone richer than themselves.

  20. Not exactly. Those shares entitled his partners to... their fair share of profits.

  21. Eminent domain applies to anything. We value public utility over personal sentiment. This means if the feds want to buy a strip of your Texas ranch to build a border fence, you can take the value of the land in money. It don't matter what your political opinions are. Never forget. We. Own. You.

  22. There never was any genocide or mass land theft from any party on the American frontier. Saying otherwise demonstrates castration worthy incompetence.

  29. One of Vanderbilt's successes was breaking subsidy driven monopolies. One big one was the big ocean steamships were receiving subsidies because of politicians trying to bring jobs (and votes) in their jurisdictions. These steamships did not use subsidies to make rides cheap, but to make them nicer while charging full price. Vanderbilt created a discount steamship that saved money partially by buying no insurance and faced off in the uphill battle. Vanderbilt won because the other guy had grown dependent on handouts that were withdrawn to save money, making Vanderbilt the biggest ocean liner who could afford giant ships. I bring this up because ultimately politics makes no difference.

  45. Bizarre equivalency, as even in the days where corporations were allowed to be governments and have monopolies this was not the norm. Socialism is, by definition, a government monopoly on all business.

  53. If you don't show specific evidence of tax fraud, then it's charity. Does it somehow surprise you successful men are workaholics and not necessarily greedy? Heck, Credit Suise was one of the greediest banks out there and they did themselves in.

  58.  @IamGrimalkin  oh god, DO THE MATH PENDEJO! Giving $1000 to charity reduces taxable income by $1000. If you are taxed at 30%, this reduces your tax burden by $300. The fraud part is completely unrelated. Basically, it's when you transfer money to yourself or someone you owe money to and count it as charity. This is tax fraud. It's easy for normal people to get away with in small amounts as you can simply claim to have made regular cash donations to church. But rich people have IRS auditors assigned to them and famous people have idiot reporters scrutinizing their lives. It would take a far more elaborate scheme for anyone to get away with that, and I know of no such allegation against any rich guy you would have heard of. There was the "Queen of Mean" who infamously said "Taxes are for little people." She went to prison for tax evasion.

  62. Buffet and Bill Gates both would be the richest man in the world if they hadn't given much of it all away. Heck, even Bill Hwang gave to the church far more than he ever spent on himself. Other billionaires fund churches, donate to science, or invest in unprofitable ventures because of their public utility. One Israeli rich dude was also a skilled pilot and bought a major stake in a space contractor so he could appoint himself as the astronaut, spending a time on the space station doing science experiments. Heck, many corrupt billionaires like Bernie Madoff only stole so they could give their families lavish lifestyles. Money doesn't matter. They're just men like any other

  74.  @NoneStar  You never heard of property deeds? And no, courts require the buyer to pay the current fair market price, but most buyers will offer 110% of that just so no one complains. We can force you to sell your house just like we can force you to put on a uniform and kill a total stranger wearing a different uniform. And you will do it, eagerly and willingly.
