I wonder how many jobs these billionaires are responsible for?
??? You could argue that Paul Allen is responsible for thousands of sports-related jobs (e.g. his teams and venues). You could also argue that those jobs would exist without him since those teams and venues would still exist under someone else's ownership.
You've succeeded in helping to add 214 billionaires to that exclusive club. All you need to do now is to keep up the pressure on all of that working class scum.
Not that I think another 214 billionaires is a bad thing but what do you think the Tea Party did to help make this possible? Was it quantitative easing?

The wealthy got quantitative easing. The poor got qualitative reaming.

Microsoft employs close to 130,000 people and while I do not have the numbers in front of me I would bet most are good jobs.
I'm supposed to be upset because 214 people accumulated wealth? I'm more upset about the many people that think they shouldn't care about school or how they behave.

When I posted that I thought this was a recent thread and my point was a lot of upper class wealth has been caused by QE and the stock markets response. This certainly was not because of the Tea Party.
I am trying to remember how much the market had gone from 2008 to 2011.
