    I don't hate wealth I wish everyone was wealthy, but normally, not all, but id say most, uber wealthy people have gotten that way through less than desirable means somewhere along the line
    bill gates is a known firsthand exception,,im sure theres many others...just research this tillson dude...

    Again, how did you come to that conclusion by my post? I simply am enjoying the entertainment aspect of this, it's better than anything else on TV at the moment. These people getting thrown out are obvious plants. It's looks orchestrated.

    And get over it with hating on successful people. Just because someone is wealthy doesn't mean they got there by hurting or taking advantage of others or that they are a bad person. That's what the mainstream media would have you believe, but lots of successful people are in fact good people. Those who blindly hate on successful people probably haven't achieved much in life, as Barry so eloquently stated. Not saying that's you, but it's typically the case.

    And why do you prefer Gates?? I know why--because he gives money to the fund in his name for use in charities.. And, you are hoping you will be the recipient of such money give aways??
    And, btw, Gates was a questionable business person at best. There has been strong opinions on how he treated others in the industry. He was and is no different than others. If it wasn't for his wife Melinda, there would be NO charity fund.

    How does the mainstream media make people believe this? I agree that most of the media has been pushing their agenda, but I have not heard them killing Trumps picks for being rich?

    On the other hand when people are talking sh!t about Hil they always say that all she does is try to help her rich friends and that she doesn't really care about the average person (which I agree with)... So why wouldn't you think that super rich peeps who are put in to positions of authority would do the same.
    Tillerson for instance. I am fairly confident that he was appointed by Hilary you hear a lot of peeps talking sh!t about her being in bed with big oil.

    Are you kidding?? Every time the media mentions a cabinet appointee they say, "But he is a billionaire". "But he is a billionaire". "But he is a billionaire". "But he is a billionaire". "But he is a billionaire". "But he is a billionaire". "But he is a billionaire". "But he is a billionaire". "But he is a billionaire". "But he is a billionaire". "But he is a billionaire". "But he is a billionaire". "But he is a billionaire". "But he is a billionaire". "But he is a billionaire".

    That is, using your technique, exactly how they drive home the point that these people are to be hated. They hate wealth (except their own).

    I don't hear that often. I hear more about their beliefs than their $... I mean it is talked about, but I don't see it being drilled to hard.

    Wasn't the purpose of "drain the swamp" to get rid of career politicians that are beholden to special interests and in the pockets of corporations?

    It seems to me that the current cabinet, while not "career politicians" , are only being set up to eliminate the middleman.

    Not initially feeling confident with several picks, but admit that I'm curious about how this will play out in the immediate future.

    And stop already with the "he's rich, she's rich" bullsh!t. Every focking politician is rich, and each party has uber rich supporters. To constantly parrot that "rich people don't care about you" is disingenuous. True, but disingenuous. Rich dems don't care about people any more or any less than rich conservatives. FACT

    He has completely severed ties and retired from Exxon from what I understand. No conflict.
