Another Billionaire Against Bush

(1/4) > >>

Ant:
So far, off the top of my head, George Soros, Steve Jobs, and Warren Buffet have all spoken critically of Bush and his policies.   Now we can add yet another Billionaire to the list, Mark Cuban, who I believe is worth around 3 Billion.

Cuban writes a decent article criticizing social security privatization which is an interesting issue since it will actually effect all American citizens.  I've said before, we often treat our support of a party as if we are supporting our favorite football team.  But football teams don't effect us, politicians do.  It really doesnt make sense to ignore criticism of policies that will potentially negatively affect your future.   

Cuban uses two cases to demonstrate how easily the public can be manipulated when it comes to investing and end up worse off.  Personally, I know a little about investing, and don't bother to learn a lot because it is an amazingly complicated subject.  The freedom to invest your money as you please sounds good, but the garantee of a risk free return sounds better to me.

Rampant:
Yeah but the real question is, Do i give a shit about what 4 billionaires think?

oh shit, they have money....i better listen to them.....i'll read this right after i was the apprentice season 1 on DVD  ::)

Ant:
its not necessarily the fact he is a billionaire, it is the strength of his argument.  but just out of curiousity, whose opinion would you trust?  you are talking about your own future well-being. 

i only posted this because to date we've seen billionaires, nobel laureates, thousands of scientists, prominent republicans, former republican governors and senators, and the majority of the rest of the world voice their criticism of bush.  I just wanted to add another person to the list, and also link you to an argument explaining why social security privatization, an issue that will definitely affect you, may be a bad thing for you and the rest of the country.

you have people from all walks of life in agreement that bush is bad for you, america, and the rest of the world, and yet you still cling to a red soxs - yankees like rivalry.  politics isn't about choosing a side and blindly supporting it in hope your side wins so you can brag and boast.  its about choosing leaders who will effectively lead the country.  so many people oppose bush, not because they hate republicans, but because he is bad for america.  if you took the time to listen to the reasons why they are fighting against his policies u'd learn that politics is a lot bigger than becoming a fanatic supporter of the first side you choose to support.

more than 1/2 of america thinks he's good so if you can name that many people by name that thinks he's bad then i'll consider your argument  ;D
