To each his own. I do find it interesting, though, that this great empire could fall into such irresponsibly to find themselves in this dilemma. I thought big-business people were smart, thus the riches they accumulate.

Keeping the riches is another story, I guess.

They certainly could have held back in case of bad times. But that’s what greed produces. Ballance is required in everything. An alcoholic cannot stop drinking because he is addicted to alcohol. A greedy person cannot stop spending because of his love for money.

These people will have to redirect where they focus their love because mammon has failed them.

You hit it right on the money Rich American. Also the guy whining about rich people probably didn’t think about the concept that many rich individuals started out POOR… so they most definitely know what it’s like to be poor. My grandpa came out of the gutters, and was still poor, and from that my mother surged pass that and became the first family member to graduate college. This notion of everyone should be equal/ideal communism is a bunch of rubbish and the excuse for individuals who don’t have the drive to earn the money they covet. America gives you every opportunity to become rich if you put the dedication and work into it.

Unless the money was stolen, us “greedy rich” people have earned our wealth and have the right to spend it on whatever we want. If I wanted to spend my 1200k salary on brand name clothing for my daughters custom bred hybrid poodle-Labrador-retriever, I’d do it without blinking. What, do you really think the millionaires of the world would just give their money to poor people? People with no opportunity, definitely. I sponsor 20 children in Africa and I’ve always donated to disease funds. However, I find that poor people that aren’t hopeless are typically just lazy. Or unwilling or uncapable to make intelligent efforts.

I hope they do go bankrupt. All those luxery buildings and man made islands is overkill. Think of how many starving people that would feed that all that money was wasted on. The greedy rich people will one day know what it is like to be poor.

What, this hasn’t been blamed on Israel and the Jews yet. C’mon, what are you waiting for, the UN to get it going for you?
