Ken Langone, proud American
Billionaire Ken Langone is a self-made man who walks tall, without apologies for his wealth and success.
In other words, he is an American.
Apparently he made some comments back in March that involved drawing a parallel between today’s America and the rise of Hitler and Nazi Germany in the 1930s, and is still being called out to account for such statements [link].
But as many detractors over the years have found, he is no pushover and means what he says.
His original comments were in regard to “the rising political focus on income inequality and what he saw as the vilification of the top 1 percent”.
I hope it’s not working. Because if you go back to 1933, with different words, this is what Hitler was saying in Germany. You don’t survive as a society if you encourage and thrive on envy or jealousy.
He went on to explain:
[Hitler] came to power through a totally democratic process. So I simply said that just because we’re a democracy that doesn’t mean we can’t do bad things. I simply said just because we’re a democracy doesn’t mean you can’t have bad results. That’s all. I stand on what I said.
Excellent post, sadly the logic of this man is lost on the sheeple of this nation who against all the evidence still cling to the belief that Obama cares for the and about this nation. Look he has yet to speak out about the VA scandal, because he knew and did nothing. It’s his MO.
I love how the Manchurian uses his PR apparatus to disseminate that he is “mad as hell” about the VA scandal. What a pathetic joke, and he won two presidential elections. Total disgrace.
