But I doubt any of those posters know the history of Rineharts/Hancock et al. They just decided to jump on a band wagon of commenting on a very rich woman based on her looks
What she said was appalling and then she went on to say that people that are not rich are not so because they are lazy, smoke too much, and drink too much. I am sure if she was not herself fat, she would have thrown that one in there too. She gets what she deserves. She is a greedy pig in every sense of the word.

Totally agree. Stupid comments.
So is the commentary on her looks.

Now the bigger issue is she wants to introduce slave labour into australia. Ironic... People wouldn't be able to eat let alone pi$$ their money away. It doesn't matter anyway. Not going to happen.

Ah, liberal tolerance.

How about if you don't like her you don't work for her?

This is not about liking. She is an evil person and deserves to be punished
Plus, I am somewhat liberal in some respect, but not overly tolerant...

This is how her ancestors likely got wealthy; pay someone next to nothing to work for you. If I can get X number of people to generate Y amount of income for me, I will be rich. It's really that simple.

"If I can get 100 people to generate $1/hour worth of income on a 40 hour work week for me, then I'll be living a relatively good lifestyle almost anywhere in the world. It's the same with 10 people at $10/hour or 25 people at $4/hour.

If I expand further and go to 1000 people making $1/hour income for me on a 40 hour work week then I'll be a member of the 1% very quickly.

So you want a $1/hour raise? I'll find someone to either work for a lower wage or fire you and throw the rest of the work burden on the rest of the employees.

Eventually when I accumulate enough wealth, I will buy out the government and reformat it to serve MY needs. Oh, you thought that I was going to support libertarian values? They're as much of a threat to my goals as the left wingers and right wingers are. Too bad."

I wonder what happens when I can get hundreds of thousands of employees to supply me with a $1/hour income stream over a 40 hour work week...must be nice to have that. It doesn't matter what kind of economy you are in, this setup works the same. Miss Piggy probably doesn't have a care in the world about her employees. They're cannon fodder to her.

It gets very lonely sitting here and having the only remedy capable of repairing world economies overnight. And it’s just a simple fiscal adjustment.
Ahem!

I know how he feels.

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

Yeah, she does sound just like a typical Republican these days, doesn't she?

Kinda makes you hope there really is such a thing as "reincarnation" and "karma", so this gal (and her ilk) can return in "less comfortable" circumstances, to acquire a few more "life lessons".... and a bit of empathy.
