other rich people with too many children:
Warren buffett (3); george soros (5); sheldon adelson (5); jim walton (4); steve ballmer (3); forrest mars, jr (7); jacqueline mars (3); phil knight (3); anne cox chambers (3); ron perelman (8); james simons (3); george kaiser (3); steve cohen (7); rupert murdoch (6); phil anschutz (3); steve jobs (4)...
I haven't even gotten to the 40th richest person in america yet, and some on the list were either young or had no personal information. i'd say the fertility rate of super-rich americans is higher than the general us fertility rate. and they use way more resources in their multiple huge houses, their private planes, their multiple cars and other toys...
and lest we forget, Mr Ecology, Al gore (4)...
but it's only poor people's children who are so nasty. it's only poor people -- in mumbai, and kinshasha, & my low-income neighborhood -- who "breed like rabbits".
well, we have to you know -- rich people need more slaves to serve their children. and that they needed to have fewer "for their own good".
why don't you go talk to rupert murdoch?
talk about dishonest -- oh, no, you weren't talking about poor people who "don't have the means to support their children," no you were just talking about people having too many kids generally....yeah, that's the ticket.
Wickerwoman: "I've spent years living in third world countries working with people struggling to escape gut-wrenching multi-generational poverty. Take your '2.47 on average isn't so bad' to Mumbai or Kinsasha and then get back to me."
you had plenty of time to argue that poor africans and indians had too many children. and that they should have fewer "for their own good."
why don't you go talk to rupert murdoch and ron perelman?
