2. What blood they can't get out of us, because we're broke, they get from one another. That's part of
what this huge fight is about. They are also devouring their own "poor", who, of course, do not wish to be devoured, so they are putting more pressure on those beneath them, our wages, our benefits, our public resources . . .

3. Ah not true !!!
In 2009 there was a big article about how Ted Turner's holdings had dropped to only a couple billion instead of a couple dozen billion.

I have nothing against Ted Turner but CNN did highlight him as an example of the poor little rich guy. I think poor little Trump was in the same article.

4. Well, since he gave a billion to the U.N. in 2010, he's okay
Ted Turner deserves much more credit than he gets. The man has a heart, something that seems to be absent in a lot of billionaires.
