Record 290 Newcomers Join Forbes Billionaires List

[Common]

Yes right wingers tell me again how HIGH taxs and regulations are destroying the Poor rich and corporate america <sniff>

Heres a little more proof of how full of $#@! your talking points are.


A record 290 newcomers joined the Forbes billionaires list in the last year as world markets defied international turmoil. While wars, diseases and currency crises made headlines, tycoons from every continent but Antarctica managed to mint new 10-figure fortunes.

Nearly 25% of this year’s first-time billionaires hail from China, which produced a world-leading 71 newcomers. The United States came in second, with 57, followed by India, with 28, and Germany, with 23.
The most famous rookie on the billionaires list? Michael Jordan, arguably the greatest basketball player of all time and indisputably the best-paid athlete of all time. Most of his cash comes from Nike payouts on his iconic brand. The Jordan brand grossed an estimated $2.25 billion in 2013, earning his Airness some $90 million. But his most valuable asset is his stake in the Charlotte Hornets, worth more than $500 million. When ex-Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer bought the Los Angeles Clippers for a stunning $2 billion, values of all NBA teams skyrocketed, creating three new billionaires. Jordan’s old boss Jerry Reinsdorf, owner of the Chicago Bulls, joined the list with a fortune of $1.3 billion, and Houston Rockets owner Leslie Alexander boosted his net worth to $1.6 billion.

Wow! you have a president that supports policies that cause business to move to China, then you pump billions into the markets each month to make it more profitable to invest in the market than business expansion

Then you pass a healthcare bill that causes companies to hire part time instead of full time workers.

You raise taxes . to make it harder to build the capital needed to expand your business and you remove the work requirements so people can stay on the welfare system

So we have had 6 years of an economic fire sale and you wonder why the people that can take advantage of it are making money?

Does this really slip by you guys or are you just running cover.

zelmo why do you keep telling this fairytale, most big corporations were in china long before obama was president. His Policies had nothing to do with the exodus to china. NAFTA had more to do with it under clinton than anything else.

You skirt the entire thread and go into you ageless washed out diatribe about taxs an regulations blah blah. THATS BEEN DISPROVEN time and time again zelmo.

If its so bad under obama how the HELL did we break a record for new billioniares.

The evidence is all around you right wing rich man shills, the rich are getting richer and the poor poorer and STILL YOU INCESSANTLY WHINE WE NEED LESS TAXS ON THE RICH AND CORPORATIONS. Jesus christ what a crock of bull$#@!.

Well the 85 billion a month in quantitive easing is one huge reason.

What would you do as a business person invest millions in business expansion for a 7 to 10% increase or invest it in the market and get a 20% increase!

You might not like what I am saying but it results are directly the results of those actions. Yes NAFTA was bad, but making it impossible to compete is not helping.

When at least 1 day per week is spent on understand taxations and regulation with my accounting and management teams. there is too much crap going on!

Sure business people want to make profit, It is the reason that you go into business if you are doing it for other reasons you are operating a charity.

the truth that liberals don't understand is that business does not owe anyone, anything. It is up to them to provide the services that enable the business to make money

Liberals believe that everyone should get a trophy weather they earn it or not. Problem is? The world does ot work that way!
