His estimated wealth is 400 million that seems so little to me now

"Judge yourself if you feel the need
Just let me known to be
In search of the truth myself
There is a drop of blood on the ground
And it seems to me that it's not my kind
And I can't be sure if its yours or mine."

Stephen King has a sick, twisted mind.

By the way, what was the article about?

why do the uber rich sqwark about paying more taxes? why dont they just offload their spare cash where its needed and dont rely on the govt doing what they see as the fair thing.
Now what we have to understand is that this comes from an extremely clever and skillful program, that has manipulated us into ways of thinking that may be contrary to our own interests, but beneficial to the interests of the powers that be... beneficial to the interests of those who control our lives, and tax us until we have hardly a penny left to spend, take our money, and plough it into the creation of huge, armed bureaucracies, which exist to oppress us. We live in a society today where we may not make decisions, to explore our own consciousness. If I am not sovereign over my own consciousness, then I am sovereign over nothing.

I think it is the uber-rich celebrities, not your old fashioned uber-rich person that sqwarks about this issue. Although you don't see many athletes making this case ... seems more to do with media celebrities.

There are a few business people sprinkled in like Warren Buffet (but let's be honest folks, he's 81 and could be losing his marbles).

Me ... well, I'd rather they invest in causes they are deeply committed to and can help steer in the right direction.

I would strongly disagree with that, but I assume you are joking...at least a little bit.
