George Will On The Clintons: "All They've Done Their Entire Life Is Borrow Money From Rich People To Seek Office"


George Will is a good story teller.    Fiction is his specialty.

"Tell us what happens when the rich people didn't get "rich by starting businesses and starting new technologies"?    They could have gotten rich by investing in the stock market.   Could have bought when Obama took office and had 2.5 times their investment at the end of 2013.   And did nothing else.

 

Could get rich buying futures on the Board of Trade if lucky, or if they can  corner enough of the market to make it a sure thing.   I believe the Hunt brothers did a little of this kind of thing with silver.    Google them for a little history."

 

Your ignorance amazes us again!  Are these people hiding their money in their mattresses?  What do you think they do with their earnings?  You apparently have little understanding of how the economy and commerce works.  All this money is invested in some way or other.  Some even in Federal and State governmental bonds!  But most in private equities.  These "stock" investments are generated by people risking their money by giving it to entities that use it to expand businesses, start businesses, buy equipment, buy other businesses, pay their employees, etc. 

 

How many jobs did the Hunt Brothers create by their little scheme?   I would say what they did caused more damage to the economy than benefit.

 

And what if they actually did hide it in their mattresses?  Is it any business of yours? 

What I see happening now in this country and some others, regarding the rich, is similar to how the persecution of the jews started in Germany under Hitler.  Hitler painted one class of people as evil. Yes, it started by demonization of that class of people.  And we all know where that ended up.  You, malodery, are a bigot.  An ignorant bigot at that.

 

When you start calling people names and making comparisons to Hitler, you've lost your argument.

I've always called them as I see them.  And you have no argument.
