RE: Billionaire admits wealth came from labor.
How much does it cost to manufacture and ship 1 Chinese?

A serious and honest question, that.

The rich jades asshole would say "any price is too much". The 1% are the ones who want something for nothing.

The Koch brothers tried to buy an election, and lost. If we can stand up to them we can reverse the damage corporate vultures have done.

Imagine if most of the world's rich thought like this.

Apparently, they'd all still be rich.

The following site I do not sponsor or advertise at all: http://www.asianbridesonline.com/

At the bottom, the business is selling "wives", so if I did not know any better, I could guess it is no better than the snakeheads illegally transporting human cargo.

Um I think you missed the part where I said I don't hate wealth. I do hate jadedness. There are wealthy people who understand the harm of poverty and pay gap, but unfortunately that is not enough of the global climate.

That isn't what I meant. It's just that whenever I see an ultra-wealthy person complain that his taxes aren't high enough, it sounds a lot like he's saying he'd love to spread the wealth but darn, he just can't convince the government to raise his taxes. If only there were other means available to him...

Mail order bride services are mostly not quite human trafficking services. They tend to exploit lonely credulous men in richer countries rather more than the women themselves.

Yeah, probably appeasing to the men. Some of those woman look like european models so it likely is a scam site if it's based in China.
