Subject: RE: BS: Poverty in the USA
Now I see Bobert's agenda. He wants the government to subsidize his business so he can make even more money. Corporate welfare is OK for Bobert Incorporated but not for Exxon and Walmart.

Do you pay them as much as Walmart? Do you put money in a 401K for them like Walmart?

Well the good thing about America is you can start out a pauper and end up a Billionaire. How did Sam Walton, John Cash Penny or Ray Croc start out? A different era you say? How about Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos or Larry Ellison the owner of that evil $300M, 454 foot yacht start out?

"Ellison was born in New York City to Florence Spellman, a 19-year-old unwed mother who asked that her aunt and uncle in Chicago, Lillian Spellman Ellison and Louis Ellison adopt him when he was nine months old. Larry did not learn the name of his birth mother or meet her until he was 48; the identity of his biological father is unknown."

By the way your left wing cut and paste facts are exaggerated and wrong again:"Ellison owns the fourth largest yacht in the world named "Rising Sun" which reportedly cost over $200 million to build. Rising Sun is 452.75ft (138 m) long."
