Kevin O'Leary says 3.5 billion people living in poverty is 'fantastic news'

[hue]

This clip came from "The Lang & O'Leary Exchange" on the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. The guy in the clip, Kevin O'Leary, is one of the investors on "Shark Tank."

3. When he is being dragged

through the streets by his tie I won't lift a finger.

4. If you work hard, you might be stinking rich someday...

So, keep trying, cause we're talking about being rich, not about being poor. We don't say the word, "poor". And, we certainly aren't talking about a man who was trying to put on his socks, but didn't have any socks to put on. He doesn't need any stinking socks to show up for work at the dollar-a-day refrigerator plant that moved off-shore… He's got hard work and attitude to rely on. Oh, and he can always count on the 10 other people that share his one room luxury villa with a bad toilet outside.

So, keep crawling, you dirty crumb grabbers… MAYBE…. J U s t m a y b e …….. you who are stuck pay check to pay-check, becoming debt slaves by the minute… Maybe YOU will be able to crawl out of the muck. Sorry about adding another 50 FEET to that muck, but what the FUCK… you all are used to it. Go buy a lottery ticket while you're at it… There's a good chance… right along with the one you have of joining the 1%… Cause we're talking about the RICH… not about you unwashed people who haven't seen a dentist for 5 years and can't get a loan instrument to help you out of this shit…


$$$$ - $$$ Yeah… See ya at the barricades Suckers!!!!

5. The majority of those 1% if not all, are rich because of family wealth from previous generations

How many Bill Gates can there be? How many Mark Zuckerbergs can there be? Most people are more likely to be struck by lighting or even winning the lottery than waking up one day and being motivated by that statistic and their poverty and join the 1%.

I believe the majority of that 1% is old family money and it's pretty unlikely someone can come from nothing to have money like the Kochs or Saudi oil barrons.

That guy is an ass.

6. And he did it all by himself

just like the starving people in Africa can do.

O'Leary then moved on to his second business venture, a software company in the basement of a small Toronto home along with partners John Freeman and Gary Babcock. His mother provided the seed investment capital of $10,000, which he used to start software publisher SoftKey. Softkey products typically consisted of software intended for home audiences, especially compilation discs containing various freeware or shareware game software packaged in a "jewel-case" CD-ROM. By 1994, Softkey had become a major consolidator in the educational software market, acquiring no less than 60 rivals, such as WordStar and Spinnaker Software.

7. That guy is an embarrassment to Canadians.

He should be on Fox news, not CBC.

8. People, here is why the rich speak the way they do...

First of, they (the rich) do not get to meet anyone not in their social order so they do not understand why you cannot be like them.

Secondly, for them it is so easy to make the next million dollars so those of us who cannot, must be lazy and brain-dead.

Third and finally, becoming rich does not really make you smarter and that is the weak link in their armor - the rich assume they know and understand the poor around them to the point that they usually do not see the pitch forks getting gathered and the villagers heading in their direction.

Want to get this guy's attention then stop bickering among yourselves and gather the pitch forks. The Occupy movement came close to this until they allowed the bickering among them, bring them down. We, the poor, should be single minded in the task of getting the attention of the rich wherever we are.

We need to make it the singular objective for them to see us, for people including the rich will change their attitudes towards us if they can see us!
