your friends to set the example on how much money is too much? Glenn Beck.

Yesterday Beck played that sound bite of the President saying that he was sure that there is a point at which people have made too much money so he asked that question on his black board.

Here are a few of his friends and the amounts they are worth or just made the past year. He also wrote these numbers on a different board. It is funny thinking about all that money in the pockets of libs.

George Soros $14 billion

Andy Stern $306,000 annually

Frank Raines $65.3 million

Oprah Winfrey $2.4 billion (240 million last year)

Algore $100 million He was worth $2 million in 2000

John Edwards $30 million

Bill and Hillary $35

Beck is just wondering when one has made too much money and the government has to take the rest if more than his amount is made. I am also wondering about that.

Liberal money and conservative money is different. Didn't you know that? Conservatives stole or inherited all thier money and liberals "earned" it.

He was talking about the financial regulations bill and Wall Street making gross profits while putting the country in a tail spin. Roy, don't you ever cross-check what Glenn Beck is saying?

In Portugal you may loathe rich people, in America we strive to be rich ourselves. This ambition versus resentment is what made our economy the most powerful and dynamic in the world.

So? I work only 2 days a week, have lots of time for myself, why would I want to waste my short and precious life with office wars, stress and all of that? While Americans may have a stronger economy, they are not necessarily known as wise people, to put it this way

Perhaps this is why you are poor and despise rich people. If you want more money- work harder. If you are satisfied with your lethargy and life, don't despise people who work hard. Rich people earn thier money. That money does not come about by working two days a week.

The other way round, I work so little because I despise being rich. I am not poor, I work just so much that I can live a decent, but minimalist life without loosing money. Nor is there lethargy in my life. I guess I simply have a totally different idea of what life is about. I used to work full-time years ago, but I felt I was wasting my life, while I didn't need all that money anyway.

Anyway, we are not talking about normal people here, but the filthy rich ones mentioned in the op. And nobody deserves that kind of money, no matter what they do and how many hours per week.
