how can billionaires stand themselves knowing people are starving to death in this country? When they go to jackson barrett's and buy cars for a million dollars? Why not help the poor?

I always wondered that myself but they probably DO help out it's just that WE lower people don't get to hear or see it. It would be nice to have a tv show based just on what the mill- and billionaires are doing to help the world. Wouldn't it? Maybe I should e-mail FOX right now. It would be nice PR for the rich people. LOL.

Are you suggesting that the workers that have the high-paying jobs manufacturing top-line automobiles should be thrown out of work? Should they be homeless to satisfy your hatred of the rich?
The wealthy people in this country (and in any country) are the ones creating the jobs that keep working class people employed.
The last I saw employment data, the US unemployment rate was around 4.5%, which economists will tell you is as low as the figure CAN go. (Certain people are always "between" a completed job and not yet hired for a new one, and some people, due to drugs, bad behaviors or criminal histories are "unemployable")
In other words... the best way to "help the poor" is to provide them a job, and the means to help themselves.

Who says billionaires aren't helping the poor? I have you talked to a billionaire lately?
