It's 100% true - and you know it! Only a fucking idiot would suggest the fact that trump increased his net worth by tenfold (from $300 million to $3 billion, roughly) doesn't amount to a hill of beans because his father gave him the seed money to start with. Originally Posted by lustylad
You don't know how compound interest works, do you? Trump got 300 million in the mid 1970s. Let's say 1976. At 8% (S&P without dividends), it is worth 6.3 billion in 2016. Had he reinvested the dividends, it would be worth almost 20 billion. (S&P, 1976 to 2016).
I assume your accountant is the "fucking idiot" in your financial world.
I've explained many times in the Political Forum why I detest dim-retards. The worst part is the way they call themselves "progressives" when the truth is they spend all of their time tearing down the accomplishments of the risk takers and wealth creators who actually drive our progress as a society.

IDid you notice how Pfizer announced today it is ready to deliver a covid vaccine that is 90% effective? They did it in 8 fucking months! Looks like the private sector just hit another home run! Oh shit! Does this mean we have to give trump credit for doing something right? Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Operation Warp Speed part of Donald Trump's response to the virus? If Biden was in charge, he would have held up federal funding for a vaccine until Pfizer put his doped-up son Hunter on its Board! Originally Posted by lustylad
Pfizer wasn't a part of warp speed. They funded it themselves. Facts. Try them. I realize that isn't in your wheelhouse as a Cheetotaler, but try it.
IHere ya go, tannana. From your posts, it's pretty obvious you're one of those worthless hecklers in the cheap seats! Originally Posted by lustylad

Give me a fucking break. You know nothing about fascism. West Germany has been a functioning democracy since it elected Konrad Adenauer in 1949. Your claim to be old enough to know fascism is a lie and an insult to my late family members who actually fought in WW2 and risked their lives to rid Europe of fascism. Originally Posted by lustylad
You know, I spent some quality time looking over the Berlin wall and IGB at the commies and fascists who had built the thing. On your ancestors, I can only observe that their biggest mistake was clearly when the rubber broke.
