Lefty billionaires expect us to lap up their every word.
So now we have Laurene Powell Jobs, widow of Steve Jobs, preaching to us about the badness of accumulated wealth.
According to TheBlaze:
"It's not right for individuals to accumulate a massive amount of wealth that's equivalent to millions and millions of other people combined," Jobs told the Times. "There's nothing fair about that. We saw that at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries with the Rockefellers and Carnegies and Mellons and Fords of the world. That kind of accumulation of wealth is dangerous for a society. It shouldn't be this way."
Despite that conviction, she justified her possession of her billions by saying she inherited it from her husband. But, she also won't pass it on to the next generation because neither she nor the late Steve Jobs believed in "legacy building" in that way. From the Times:

Ok, let’s start a Freeper fund.
I’d love to accumulate wealth, my wife won’t let it happen.
I guess it was wrong for ones like Vanderbilt or Rockefeller or Carnegie to accumulate all of that wealth and give that good deal of it to education, libraries, museums, parks (such as Williamsburg, VA with the Rockefellers), and other such things.
I’ll be happy to relieve her of her burden of wealth.
Unintentionally hilarious. Breathtaking hypocrisy on display.
In effect: “My late husband and I had a certain opinion about wealth — and now I want to impose that opinion on everyone else. I’m entitled to do this because I’m better than all of you peasants. How do I know I’m better than you? Well, I’ve got a lot more money than you do, that ought to tell you something!!”
Right, let’s all just live in grass shacks eat potatoes while the socialists in power live in luxury. I wonder how much of her wealth she’ll be giving up should Bernie (God forbid) win the presidency.
Liberals are like little children.
Give it up leftie billionaires...to Laurene. Don’t make us call Bernies Bros or Joe the International Shakedown Mobster.
She is a hypocrite and scum. See my tag line...
Pretty sure she could solve the California homeless crisis all by herself
And we're seeing it today in the Gates and Bezos and Musks AND JOBS of the 21st century.
What a flaming hypocrite.
Excerpt from the article: “But, she also won’t pass it on to the next generation because neither she nor the late Steve Jobs believed in “legacy building” in that way.”
So she’ll just sit on it until it hatches, or something?
OK I get it.
Working your butt off, inventing stuff, being creative, etc to make money = bad.
Merely laying on your back and getting the jollies from some rich guy that you married and inheriting his money = good.
sent her my bank numbers
Liberals are like little spoiled brats. Actually they ARE spoiled little brats.
Heaven help us when Bill Gates dies. His wife as as far left crazy as they come. And she had ZERO to do with him getting rich.
How many good paying jobs diid the “Rockefeller’s and Carnegies and Mellons and Fords” create? How many people were lifted out of poverty by those jobs?
We will be fighting communists for years folks. Prepare accordingly.
