Maybe if we let them in on the secret to making money, they won't be so angry all the time.

You have no way of knowing what "the three richest americans" actually believe. They don't vote in congress. If anything they are probably doing a PR move to fools saps like you.

Don't even bother. They don't care.

I think you over generalize. There are many on the left who understand economics quite well.
The economics of selling bootleg whiskey during prohibition, for example, was very lucrative to the Kennedy family. Marrying an heiress to the Heinz fortune was quite lucrative to John Kerry as well.
The economics of suing corporations for millions and keeping a third for yourself has been very beneficial to John Edwards.
It might be beneficial to provide financial info to poor people (who tend to be on the left). For example, why you should not max out your credit card and make minimal monthly payments; why to never step foot into an instant cash station; why smoking and a minimum wage job don't go together even if the minimum wage doubled.

I'll borrow the form of Allen's question about pornography
Fact: I studied economics at the university and even passed.
Fact: I'm not some shallow Republican who believes the most important thing in life is the accumulation of money and luxury goods.
Fact: My bank balance has nothing to do with my anger. That money-grubbers go around preaching greed as virtuous has a great deal to do with my anger.

Wow... I have to say that, that was one of the more ignorant things I have read this evening. Doesn't even make any sense really. Who said the Left is angry all of the time.. "Left meaning liberals I am assuming." Also economics has nothing to do with teaching people how to "make" money. Have you ever taking an economics class..?

It wouldn't benefit them at all. They would cut class to go protest something, burn cars, throw rocks at the police, wearing hoods and masks. It doesn't matter what they are protesting, it's just an excuse to raise hell and break things under the guise of protest. Making money from the leftist's point of view means either inheriting it or getting it from the government in the form of a handout.

How much would a course in basic civility and etiquette benefit the Right in this country?

Since I have some graduate courses in economics from an MBA program at Southern NH University, please give me your version of "Basic" economics! I started a program in Community Economics, but dropped it after a year!
By the way, where did you get yours?

Oh no the left gets it. I know its hard to believe but to some people there are more important things than money.
Like for instance being a decent human being and leaving something for future generations, making the world a better place. Shocking.

Maybe they would also understand the true cost of allowing all the illegals to get free health care, free education, social security and steal our jobs.

Don't even go there! Who's the one who squandered our billions of dollars in surplus that should have gone back to us and Social Security and left us with hundreds of billions in the HOLE?!
