This trust fund baby has a few screws loose. How would lowering the minimum wage help those low income earners become rich? Is the amount of labour a company will buy a commodity without limits? Yeah right. What a loon.

Re: World's richest woman says poor should work harder

Maybe the 99% should just be anihlated and let the 1% fight amongst themselves as to who will do the farming......


Quite possibly the ugliest beast unleashed from Australia upon the world

Re: World's richest woman says poor should work harder

Rinehart made her money the old-fashioned way:

She inherited it.


Her family iron ore prospecting fortune of $30.1 billion makes her Australia's wealthiest person and the richest woman on the planet.

So? The rich should have to live like the poor for a period of time before they make stupid judgements, too.

Re: World's richest woman says poor should work harder

It's also been pointed out that she is/has been "importing" foreign workers to work in her mines to save money rather than hiring locals. If that is the case, then her statement about supplying jobs for Australians is a bald faced lie.

Re: World's richest woman says poor should work harder

It's a good case for the imposition of Estate Taxes.. at 95%.. let's say beyond $10 million.. to prevent entrenched multi-generational wealth from descending to the inevitable imbeciles that appear in the 3rd of 4th generations under the corrupting influence of unearned lucre.

That'd do in the Koch brothers as well.. who bankroll the Tea Party and other inane libertarian causes.

I always thought that companies that hire more than 3-4 part time workers should pay an additional tax, let's call it the "Abusing labor law when you could properly hire someone," tax. Many of the positions at these large chains are essentially full time anyways, they need people around the clock.

"But then there wouldn't be any jobs for students," is a rubbish argument I've seen as well. My company hires students and gives them proper contracts with salary adjusted to the hours they can work.

Re: World's richest woman says poor should work harder

It matters to the shallow and feeble minded.

Well being you're defending her... I guess you can have her.. she's right up you alley.. ;)

Looks don't have much to do with anything, however if you portray youself as a snob, put down people less fortunate as you are... I guess your imperfections will be pointed out.

She's lucky she is rich because, she only has a face a mother could love.. or gerryh for the right price
