Is it common that billionaires are born from honest business-people?
   
I can't really think of any.

Bill Gates, for example, is a slug, honesty-wise.

The Koch brothers got their money the old-fashioned way. They inherited it.

Is there a billionaire anywhere in the world that earned that money by providing a product or service that was just so valuable?

Or did they make all that money because they conned their way into positions to bribe the people that were supposed to regulate them?

What childish  morons. Who the **** cares how they got there money. Your buddy mr i served in Vietnam never worked a day in his life. How come his name is not on your list?  :whatever:

He made his money the old fashioned way--he slept with the widow. :fuelfire: :tongue:

My, my, but that is just mean spirited hard to imagine why anyone would associate this song with John F. Kerry ( who served in Viet Nam) :rotf:

Got to love Bing btw, Bowie's version was ok but Bing's version gives one a chance to really absorb the words.

They didn't mention Kerry or any of the other uber rich democrat politicians over there.  They were bickering, surprise surprise.

I can only think of one, George Soros. He sold out his fellow Jews to the NAZIs to get a percentage of said, soon to be tortured and killed, Jew's personal goods.

He is a good example of an honest business person because he supports totalitarian utopian states that the DUmbats love.
