Being the dedicated liberals that they are, I think they should send 90 percent of their income to the government.
Who cares? He doesn’t care either. He married money so he could even care less about the measly 300k. Hhis goal is to destroy the nation and enjoy his wealth, not to have a high personal income.
Of course. The mans a genius. He deserves every penny. If only we would listem to his sage advice the world wouldn’t be in the shape its in.

Thanks for pulling up that pic, Thomas Friedman is a total POS!!!!!!!!!!!!
The most striking thing about Friedman is how impressed he is by his own intellect.
‘Tis but a wee hovel. One wonders in which room does he sit hunched over his keyboard coming up with all those glittering jewels of wisdom.
Tax the Rich! Like the great economic theorist Lennon and McCartney wrote “that’s one for you, nineteen for me, Taxman!”
I’m sure they pay more tax than they owe, what with being good progressives and all....
He "married into one of the 100 richest families in the country" - the Bucksbaums, whose real-estate Empire is valued at $2.7 billion.
Well ... I would just say tax the liberal rich, tax the progressive rich and tax the socialist rich. They should live by the edicts that they want to force upon everybody else.
Friedman’s wife, Ann, is a graduate of Stanford University and the London School of Economics. They were married in London on Thanksgiving Day 1978. Her father, Matthew Bucksbaum, was the chairman of the board of General Growth Properties, a real estate development group. As of 2007, Forbes estimated the Bucksbaum family’s assets at $4.1 billion, including about 18.6 million square meters of mall space, but the firm’s value later plummeted. The family’s trust declined in value from $3.6 billion to $25 million. On April 16, 2009, the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, after failing to reach a deal with its creditors. The GGP collapse marked the largest real estate bankruptcy in U.S. history.
Ann and Thomas Friedman live in Bethesda, Maryland, a suburb of Washington, D.C. The July 2006 issue of Washingtonian reported that they own “a palatial 11,400-square-foot (1,060 m2) house, currently valued at $9.3 million, on a 7½-acre parcel just blocks from I-495 and Bethesda Country Club.” Friedman is paid $50,000 per speaking engagement.
Thomas Friedman: “…the consumer-driven growth model is broken and we have to move to a more happiness-driven growth model, based on people working less and owning less.”
This is an old list. It lists Hillary Clinton as a U.S. senator and Joe Torre as the NY Yankee manager among others.
