Plutocrats have no country, no religion, and no philosophy. They are simply greedy.

I have to say I didn't think I could be shocked. But Schultz's vast arrogance and unquestioned assumption that we should all just bow down because he knows best - I'm flabbergasted. Truly flabbergasted that he would say this out loud and without shame. He really feels like the only crisis on Earth worth worrying about is that he might get a little less rich. BUT MUH MONEY. Un-freaking-believable.

But to assume that this makes him competent to be President is unsupported by any evidence.
