i just realized something. i don't know about you all but i find it strange and a bit unsettling that i really haven't even heard of most of the super wealthy people on this list of all of the wealthiest americans in the united states. shouldn't they all be as famous as paris hilton? unlike paris who is near reaching plague status in a google image search, and not nearly as wealthy, usually i can only even find a few photos of these mind bendingly wealthy americans. and they are not just wealthy, they are actively seeking more wealth, more often than not. but, that is precisely why i am doing this, taking on this task. we don't know these people, and i am guessing that they do not know us. we need to be introduced. i have a feeling we will never meet by coincidence, playing golf, or at the club, and having our skin shined and dog waxed. there is about zero chance that we will interact. this is not at all right in my opinion and i think that it should be rectified. just as i think that the non trickle down situation needs to be upgraded to working status. i doubt very much that our "let's give ourselves a raise" not exactly on the ball government is going to make it happen, so i believe it will have to be a more do it yourself project. besides, they are up to their elbows, rolling up their sleeves, and giving away as much money to undeserving people as they possibly can. let's see, almost all americans are in debt, struggling, and working longer hours for less money than ever and we have nothing left to give so yeah, let's grab that stone and see if we can squeeze the last drop of blood out of it. i'm assuming that's the government's new stimulus plan. because of that we will have to turn to the people that are profiting most from their one way generosity and ask the super wealthy for our share of the trickle down dream.
this here is henry kravis. he is 64 years old and is worth 5.5 billion dollars. we are of course beginning to get to the "bottom of the barrel" billionaires. you may want to go to the top of the list and work your way down to henry kravis. 5.5 billion? is it worth the effort? i'm sure we all have nearly that much laying around. after a few leveraged buyouts of our own we should be right there on par with henry and we will certainly proudly all accept the status of self proclaimed "self made" status. i believe henry kravis is still hungry for more money. a paltry 5.5 billion will never satisfy this fellow. let's all write him a letter, cheer him on, and explain the trickle down theory to him. quite probably he has heard of it. with all i know about billionaires i am guessing that he gets on his knees every night and thanks god for the pure genius and effective plausibility of the trickle down theory. then more than likely he lends god a little bit of walking around money, and goes to sleep for as long as he damn well pleases. i feel certain that he has benefited from our loving and generous government on more than one occasion. you can reach him at the address below.
