david murdoch

in my imagination this is what really fantastically wealthy people look like. this is pretty much the mental image i have as being the epitome of wealth. sitting by an immaculately clean pool, in an expensive suit, relaxed and with a drink in hand, wearing a power tie, and on an obviously perfect weather day. it couldn't look more ideal. david murdoch has got it right. he is enjoying his 4.7 billion dollars in the proper manner. david murdoch is a high school dropout. he seemed to do pretty well for himself. these days high school dropouts are scorned as losers that will obviously never amount to anything. maybe possibilities back in david's day for high school dropouts were very different. he is 84 years old after all and times have certainly changed. there are less opportunities for people to drop out of school and make billions of dollars. quite possibly david will sympathize with the fact that we also dropped out of high school and are struggling to earn our first billion dollars. possibly if we write to david he will understand and send some trickle down economy in our direction. it can't hurt to ask and so ask we shall. you can reach david at the address below.

patrick mcgovern

patrick mcgovern is 70 years old and sounds like a truly self made and intelligent man. each christmas he personally hands out bonuses to his 1600 employees. that sounds somewhat like the trickle down theory in practice. he is worth 4.7 billion dollars. there are many more people on this blog more worthy of our attention than this man but i will give you an address to contact him anyway. maybe this christmas he would like to personally hand out some trickle down bonuses to all of the well deserving americans that write to him and request it. and besides, i don't believe anyone is innocent, especially if they've accrued billions of dollars. if they have, they have also received help in the form of enormous tax breaks from our lapdog of wealth government and so need to give some back. please write patrick at the address below.

robert holding

robert holding is 81 years old and is worth 5 billion dollars. my grandmother is right around 81 years old. she isn't worth quite 5 billion dollars. she worked her whole life in a factory and lived very modestly. she just recently had a heart attack and is in the hospital. maybe this self made man robert holding, who made his money from oil will make quick work of sending out some trickle down assistance to my grandmother. as we all know, being a working class person and becoming sick is pretty much equivalent to having to endure the ultimate financial punishment. if she recovers from the heart attack there is very little hope that she will have a dime left to her name. robert holding is 81 years old and has three children which are quite likely much older than all of us. feel free to write to robert holding at the address below. anyone that has made his money from oil and gas knows only too well the sweet sweet love and warm generosity of the american government. he will have written long and elegant poems and multi volume odes to the trickle down theory, having benefited from it more than most, for longer than most, and will know immediately of what you are reminding him and subsequently requesting. feel free to write him at the address below.

steven jobs (aka steve jobs)

i don't understand how steve jobs can only be worth 5.4 billion dollars. i'm on my third ipod in four years, and have purchased at least three others for gifts for friends. they break quickly and we buy more. how can he not be right up there with the so recently richest man in america bill gates? the mysteries of this will not be answered soon i am sure. it may have been because he was a college dropout. no, because so was bill gates. and actually many of the world's wealthiest people dropped out of that obviously big waste of time thing we call higher education. possibly it was the might of bill gates and microsoft itself that crushed him from the top of the list and placed him down here in the dregs of the single digit billionaire list. i can't exactly suggest pitying steve jobs, but for all his apparent brilliance he does not quite have the killer instinct of his nemesis bill gates the 3rd. one really nice thing about steve jobs is that he is easier to find than bill gates. either that or i just have gotten a little bit more efficient at finding corporate headquarter addresses. that's good news for me and for you so that we can send steven jobs a letter describing the richness and magic qualities of the trickle down theory and offer him an address of where he can send our cheque. i might wait for a later time to then tell him exactly how great i think it is that a product from his company that costs upwards of $300.00 can pretty much fizzle out and inexplicably die after just a couple of years. stuff that up your genius bar. please contact steve jobs at the address below.

micky arison

this man might have more right to smile than any human being on earth. i wonder if he sleeps with a giant smile on his face. do his teeth dry out when he smile-sleeps? does he have a personal smile mist servant so that he can smile all night long? micky is 58 years old and is worth 5.4 billion dollars. why do i think he should sport the day and night perma-grin? because he inherited it and carnival cruises and his wealth is growing. it seems somewhat like inheriting las vegas. it does nothing but earn money. i for one would not even consider taking a cruise. not ever. it sounds as nearly as fun as golf. low stress, low action, very little use, but some people like it. apparently quite a few. maybe my tune would change if i had plenty of disposable income laying around, like when my buyouts become leveraged, or my hedge funds pan out. or, maybe when all of the letters i've written to the nations meta wealthy start sending trickle down reparation cheques to me and i can start doing more than just weeping out of desperation. i guess at that point i could certainly relax long enough to consider taking a cruise to some third world country where i could then admire the even more extreme poverty of other nation's poor. i think micky will see us all as potential future cruise-line customers and will be receptive to starting the flow of trickle down monies in our direction. please write the glowingly smiling micky arison at the address below.
