Trophy investments of billionaires

I am amazed by those that resent success.  I started by own business many years ago.  I really can't say who made it the hardest for me to succeed:  The government, or my employees.  Down through the years I have had some employees who came in and gave it their all.  They are the ones that become like family.  The ones that I do everything for to help them suceed in their own businesses or as executives with other companies later.  But the vast majority don't care.  They don't care if they do good work, if they are unreliable, if they subtly sabatoge the company with their attitude and actions.  They feel I (or someone) owes them a free ride.  And it is MOST people. 

When I was younger I wondered if it was the business I was in that drew parasites.  Or something in my managment style (I try to help everyone).  But what I found in talking to other business owners and executives was that the problem was everywhere.  And it is getting worse.  A tragic example is the 'occupy' movement.  These people, hanging out protesting 'the rich', while wearing a thousand dollars worth of clothes and electronics, have no idea that THEY are among the richest 1% of the world.  Literally, 99% of the worlds population is in worse financial shape than they are, but they are protesting because someone has more than they do.  They aren't trying to help the real 99%.  They are just whining about the few that are wealthier than them.  Unbelievable selfishness.  But they are too stupid to even see it.  Sad

You know, I finally realized that we should do away with our tax system. We should go to the type of tax system that we pay taxes on EVERYTHING that we purchase. Those that don't have a lot of money would only pay a little. Those that spend A LOT will pay a lot. If we except regular food and clothing, the rich and the well to do would pay MOST OF ALL THE TAXES. I mean even a crook, a drunk, a dope seller would all pay their fair share. We also could get a special exception for those on Welfare, etc. But the more a person spends the more tax they would pay. It's like a State tax. Most States charge a tax and it doesn't matter how much you make. Also some States charge truck drives a tax based on the total miles they drive.

 IT'S LIKE THIS, IF YOU WORKED ALL OF YOUR LIFE TO WIN A SUPER BOWL RING WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO LET PEOPLE BORROW IT FOR A SATURDAY NIGHT ? MOST RICH FOLKS WORK THEIR **** OFF TO GET WHERE ARE AND MANY BELIEVE THAT JUST BECAUSE THEY HIT A HOME RUN THEY SHOULD SHARE THEIR VICTORY WITH ALL.

  YOU HAVE TO BE REAL ON THIS. HOW MANY OF YOU KNOW SOMEONE WHO SCREWED THE SYSTEM FOR A FREE LIFE TIME RIDE? WE ALL KNOW SOMEONE WHO HAS AND THAT RIDE COSTS HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS OVER A LIFE TIME. HOW COME ALMOST NOTHING IS SAID ABOUT WHAT THESE PARASITES DO? I BET WE COULD SAVE MORE MONEY ERADICATING THESE PARASITES THAN TRYING TO STEAL FROM THE RICH!! AND NO, I'M NOT RICH!!!

Use your imagination....How many people did it take to build that yatch. It doesn't take much to see the hundreds if not thousand of jobs one billionare's project supports. But then, trickle down doesn't work....

Of course, if we just ran all that cash through the government and let the sitting president dole it out, that would be much more efficient. If you believe that I have some chads from the Florida Bush/Gore election that will some day be worth $1,000 dollars an ounce. You can have em now for just $250.
