Veterans without a home, hungry children, hungry seniors, citizens without medical care, all noble places toward which the rich can direct their riches to make life better for another human being. But what do they spend their money on?

A STUPID YACHT BIGGER THAN EVERY OTHER PERSON'S YACHT

Spending upwards of $400,000,000 to as much as $4,800,000,000, these people are nothing but narcissists whose main goal is to outdo their contemporaries.

Imagine what good that kind of money would do if re-directed to help those in need.

MAYBE THOSE WHO PAY FOR THESE YACHTS SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE CHARITY OF THEIR CHOICE IN A LIKE AMOUNT OF MONEY AS PART OF THE PURCHASE PRICE OF THE YACHT BEFORE THEY CAST OFF

Some of these yachts require that they be accompanied by a secondary yacht to accommodate certain things like helipads for helicopters and sleeping quarters for staff.

Hey, NCTarheel, have you tried to get AARP let you start a political forum? To simply be honest, this topic is kind of connected to politics.

How do you find a connection to politics, @ChasKy53? There are individuals on both sides of "the aisle" so to speak that demonstrate the same attitude towards life as I described in my two threads. It has nothing to do with politics.

Where are you 2 coming from. How do you ever come up with his are about politics? He call's no name, mentions no color or say's anything about animals.

I have read his 2 post over twice, I agree that the people he talks about need help. He is just wrong (my thinking) that it is rich people's problem. It is not his or my or your place to tell a person how to spend their money, or what to spend it on.

I feel like most of the super rich do their share of donating to causes. They just might not be donating to the ones he puts at the top of his list. Gates and his wife have given mega dollars, also the guy from Amazon, I think his ex gave away most of what she got in the divorce. The McDonald guy left a fortune to the Salvation Army to build places of worship and play. Look at the sport figures that are in the news with their donation, hell James built a school. And don't forget about the Waltons, the one's in Ark.

Is he right in his thinking, yes and no. Is he political, nope. I will say this, the problem he talks about can only be solved at the ballot box not by putting people down for enjoying their money.

Let me close by saying if his is taken down there are a lot more that need to come off just for the fact of how stupid they are.

AARP Moderator Darry, does he have the power to MAKE you take the post down? Read the post carefully. Who were the first to bring politics' into the thread.
