World's richest woman in the world is an Australian who criticized Australian miners for not working at wages similar to those in Africa. She also said if people want to be rich they should, do some real work and get off there lazy butts. Of course she does not mention, the way she got her wealth was by winning the birth lottery.

She sounds a lot like some of our Republican politicians who were born on 3rd base and thought they hit a home run.

Isn't she the same woman who said that people who aren't rich are drunks?

Isn't she the same woman who inherited several million dollars? The old joke is making the 2nd or later million is easy: it's the 1st million that's crazy hard. Sheesh! If she started out with nada I'd take her more serious but many millions?

in fairness, it would appear that she spent the first million on food.

Several million...LOL, hundreds of millions, not to mention a huge trust that she is sole trustee and she and two siblings are the beneficiaries.

Really she sounds more like our liberals who want to throw open the border and bring in unlimited numbers of cheap labor types to do all those jobs that they say Americans are too lazy to do. Obama is doing all he can to bring in the cheap labor --- just like this lady wants to do for her country.

I think you are a little confused. That is what the chamber of commerce who support the Republicans are going for...don't believe me...look at their website.

Oh, and so you know, I don't purchase Apple products or other companies products I think are unethical.... so I walk the walk as well
'Wingers ragging on Apple is just a bunch ideological claptrap because they're located in Kalifornia and perceived as being "lib-rul". When the obvious fact is that virtually every cell phone, computer and electronic device made these days, comes from abroad, with most of it Made in China! Although who knows, maybe you just don't use cellphones, and you're actually posting here using an old Texas Instruments TI-99 (Made in the U.S.A.)!
