harold simmons


i think some of these photos need to be updated. this wealthy fellow's name is harold simmons and he is worth 6.9 billion dollars. i would not guess from this photo that he is 76 years old though, and that is what he is listed as. i might not guess he was worth 6.9 billion dollars either if i just saw this photo. but, like our 42nd american billionaire harold is a self made man. all of these self made men should be an inspiration to the rest of us. we should become bank examiners and take a passionate interest in hostile takeovers and buyouts. that sounds so glamorous. greed often does. actually greed usually brings to mind villians and super villians from comic books. i was thinking that harold had a smile that resembled that of the joker, just a little bit. we have nothing to fear there though since we are not greedy. desperate is not the same as greedy. it's more akin to needy. we should write harold simmons and comment on his smile and that it reminds us of someone we respect. fear and respect. and while we're at it we should mention the trickle down theory and how we are here tohelp proactively implement it. corporate people love words like proactive and implement. that and money. that is my understanding anyway. beyond that they are like an alien species to me. feel free to contact harold simmons at the address below.
