The Most Expensive House: The most Depleting Loss

 

Nobody Wins

 On the news today: THE STOCK MARKET IS FALLING,FALLING, FALLING!” So, here’s  where I get confused. How can the stock market fall, when so many companies are really racking in the dough? I’m not a math wiz, so somebody explain this to me.

The U.S. Department of Commerce reported last week that American companies just had their best quarter ever, earning profits at an annual rate of $1.659 trillion in the third quarter. The next-highest annual corporate profits level on record—$1.655 trillion—was in the third quarter of 2006. In fact, American corporate profits have grown for seven straight quarters at some of the fastest rates in history.

No wonder it’s so easy for Obama to play the rich against the poor.  The rich CEO’s at the multinational corporations make enough money to buy houses like this one in Switzerland. It’s the most expensive house in the world, at $7.5 billion…not because it’s the biggest, but because all the fixtures are solid gold and platinum, and the floor is made up of old T-REX dinosaurs bones. Maybe it’s Ahab the Arab living there. He wanted to feel right at home.

In the meantime, once again, millions of little black babies are dying of starvation in Africa, which shows you what tyranny and plain stupidity does.  Somebody is going to help save those poor babies, and it’s usually the taxpayers of the United States that have, up to this point in time, contributed the most. If allowed to vote on it, most of us would say…save the babies…forget the wars. 

Funny isn’t it? We give weapons and billions of dollars now to the Taliban in Libya:we bail out Greece as many tmes as we are allowed, but starving babies are just not on a politicains list of “things to do.” Anyway, most of the time, the money given doesn’t even get to those kids. It a testament to the “rulers” of Africa just how much they care about their own people.  

But think—if this rich guy who built this house in Switzerland, had just used regular old facets from Sears instead of solid gold ones, he could have saved the lives of hundreds of black little darlings, if he had so chosen.

And gee…what a butt-ugly house.  Stark, empty, and cold. Must make the owner feel right at home.

You cannot tax these rich. They feel they deserve their riches, and rightly so. Nevertheless, since the gap between the rich and the poor really is expanding expediently, and even though it’s none of our business, most of us would like to see them use their money on something besides gold faucets. Because LOOK what this guy got for his bucks.

The most expensive house in the world?

What’s it’s sitting on…oil?
