How in the world can
a businessman be tough enough to become a multi-billionaire and yet be so
sensitive to general criticism of his profession that he spends millions
because his feels the President is criticizing him. Apparently not being loved, or spoken nicely
to is too much for yet another extremely wealthy person. Tomas Peterffy is worth billions and
agrees with the President on many issues.
Peterffy has maxed out his
donations to Mitt Romney and will vote Republican next month, but he’s hardly a
GOP loyalist. He’s called himself “pro-choice” and “pro-environment.”
So what exactly is
his problem? Well he thinks Mr.
Obama has not been sufficiently nice about billionaires.
Thomas Peterffy Will Mitt Romney Scrape and Bow to Him? - You Betcha |
Peterffy argues that Obama
makes a practice of “bad-mouthing success,” which demoralizes American
entrepreneurs, sapping their drive to succeed and pay the taxes that support
the less fortunate. In its own odd way, the ad argues on behalf of the “47
percent,” not against them.
That’s right, entrepreneurs are so discouraged and
demoralized that they no longer have a drive to succeed and therefore are not
paying more taxes to support those lazy good for nothing deadbeats, the famous
47%.
And who is Mr. Petterffy?
Thomas Peterffy, a 68-year-old
émigré from socialist Hungary
who founded Interactive Brokers (IBKR ),
the world’s largest online broker, and built a fortune of $7.6 billion,
according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
Wow, the United States
lets in an immigrant refugee from Hungary , provides him with the
opportunity to become a billionaire seven times over and he is just furious
that people are not nice to him.
Good Grief!
