If I give a statement that you did rob that liquor store and shoot the owner, does that mean it happened?

HamNo is Nickelback, only without the other two chords.   I can’t imagine how much weaksauce this guy puts out on an annual basis.

Or they knew that he was going to be painted as “anti-women” because of abortion, and they just got these ladies together to attest otherwise.

Let’s all make an uninformed opinion on an event we have zero knowledge of and assume the big bad man who is on the other side of the political spectrum from us did this thing he is accused of from decades ago!!! 

This is so true. We really need to start teaching kids at a young age about investing and compound interest. I actually volunteer to teach this stuff to high school kids in low income areas. I run through an exercise where I have them tell me what they think they waste the most money on (They say soda’s junk food,…

I tell you what, investing in Amazon stock hasn’t made me rich, but I’m going to be retiring a few years earlier, that’s for sure. My $9,000 I put in 2008 is worth over 100k now. People who fight capitalism and don’t join the party always lose financially. Amazon has made a lot of money for a lot of people, and made…

Fair, but I really don’t think he’s done. And Amazon has made life better for a lot of people.

His wealth is tied to hard work, certainly, but it’s more tied to risk-taking, and providing his fellow man with something he wants. I probably get to spend 100 more hours a year with my young daughter because of Jeff Bezos and the fact that I don’t have to venture to shopping centers hardly ever. That’s absolutely…

One of my families great friends started his own fire alarm and security alarm company 50 years ago. He literally worked 80 hour weeks for the first 5 years, and probably 60 hour weeks form there on out until he retired a millionaire. He employed my dad for 40 years, allowing us to live in a safe neighborhood and to…

“a pittance of the money he has”...Dude, go look up ‘net worth’ and see what it actually means. It doesn’t mean the guy has $163 billion under his mattress. It’s on paper. You have no fucking clue how much money he actually has at his disposal so to say that $2 billion is “a pittance” is just flat out ignorant.

So is ‘Senior Writer’ on a blog sorta like being ‘Head Chef’ in your own kitchen at home?  Ooh, or ‘Chief Mechanic’ in my garage?  Oh, man I could do these all day long...

How so? How did he not do any work and have amazon become the giant it is? I am genuinely curious. 

It’s tied to that, and the fact that he started the business. He is the creator, since when do you create something yourself and every other douchebag gets to have a say in how its run? That’s retarded, and the exact opposite of how to run a successful company. Hope this helps, an explanation by ben shapiro; three…

It’s everyone’s decision whether they contribute to Amazon’s revenue and reach, just like it was Bezos’s effort, execution, whatever you want to call it, to start the company, just like it’s his decision to do what he wants with the wealth that he accumulated.

I’m okay not being rich. I’ve known a few rich people, my brother-in-law included (who owns a decently sized company with offices in a few countries). He’s more comfortable now (although he still works more than I do, and I’m putting in ~45 hours a week). But, it took many years of absolute grinding to build the…

Not really. It’s nonsense that you think hard work isn’t directly tied to his wealth. Now, obviously (to some of us), that’s not the only thing directly tied to his wealth. There’s other things, such as risk, but if you think he just devoted a few hours a day to making Amazon what it is, you’re out of your god damn…

Thank you. 

The more you make, the more you pay. The rich pay most of the taxes. Check a tax chart. Do your own taxes. Work some overtime. You'll find out. 

Stop being a fucking bootlicker. You will never be rich.

Ahh... this is a fun argument. “What is X worth?”

This is very similar to the argument that pro athletes and entertainers aren’t worth the millions they make. I used to subscribe to that theory as well, until I realized that it’s an economy of scale.

If a pro athlete plays on national television, and I watch him, it’s…
