You didn’t mention the women, though I believe their stories mirror these. Why not mention the women?

All you guys bickering about Sean combs, buffett, gates are PATHETIC. Sean Combs came from the bottom up. You may not like his music or his lyrics but he is a true entrepreneur and businessman. And Buffett coming from a well to do family? So what! There are millions of people that come good families yet VERY few worth 50 billion dollars. Self made means you didn’t inherit your money. Pathetic people always try to make excuses for others success to make themselves feel better for their own lack of it! Grow some balls, go hustle hard and stop hating!

Sean Combs, 1969-
Comparing him to Edison and some others who will truly go down in history is like comparing A Big Mac to a Steak.

Being truly successful is not about money.

Put all these men and their wealth together and they still could not come up with a cure for cancer.

Edison cured using candles.

Most of the others? I won’t waste my time trying to to find our what they truly achieved other then make a lot of money for themselves.

Harry Reid? Obama? These guys are lying scumbags. Reid is a scumbag. Obama was raised by rich white grandparents. Obama is a lying Marxist scumbag. Shame on you for including those SOB’s in the list.

Harry Reid and Barack Obama?

These monsters wish to truly GOVERN AND RULE people, not let them alone. Not let them pursue their own happiness.

“But free, independent men are truly hated by our ‘leaders,’ who are power-lusters first class. ‘Governing’ otherwise free men — making them think and act in ways free men might not otherwise think or act — is their chief and principal end. If the element of compulsion or force were not woven into their laws, they would have no interest in such legislation — they would have no reason to act, no reason to seek office, no reason to persuade their future serfs and slaves that it is in their best interests to become serfs and slaves.” (Ayn Rand).

I’m appalled that these two monsters are on the same list as Benjamin Franklin who along our other founding fathers laid it all on the line to fight against what was then the mightiest military force known to man in order to gain our freedom.
