The men who built America

[gn7]

Greed has NOTHING to do with it. The most creative minds in history, specially in this country, did what they did because they seriously, could not help it. It was a burning desire to do what they did. Every successful company has a driven person that DROVE the company. Apple, Microsoft, Ford, Westinghouse, Bell, Standard Oil, U.S. Steel.

The MEN that built America are really simple. Andrew Carnegie, Thomas Edison, Westinghouse, and Henry Ford, and Rockerfeller had by far the biggest impact. Edison died near broke, Carnegie gave almost all of it away, Rockerfeller gave away more than any man in history. Few know he bought most the land that makes up most national parks, and gave it to the federal government. Ford gave the company to a foundation that is still one of the largest foundation in the world. Westinghouse died near broke, but JP Morgan broke him.
Gates has given away and will continue to give away, more than he takes in. He is becoming worth less everyday. His and Buffets wills are written, and the kids get much less than you can imagine. You can win more in the Power Ball easily.

The richer they get, the less it had to do with greed.

NOW, financial people. Don't get me started. Its ALL GREED, and it has been all thru history. They make nothing, and contribute nothing.

The richest most successful people in history, all did it WITHOUT BANKS! JP Morgan was a pariah on the American pubic. But that would open the door to politics, so we won't go there.

Funny, you can talk industrial giants, and their contribution to the growth and power of the nation, and never mention politics. Try that when talking about bankers and empires built on financials.
