berniegoetz is the the man. John Gotti is a piece of trash. He only cared about his family and maybe some other I-talians.

These rich finocchios need to give back to the little guy. They can learn from great men like John Gotti.

These rich bastards should be giving everyone a bit of the pie. They can learn from some of the good people like John Gotti was.

How about some of these rich New Yorkers pour some money into the MTA? Trump would buy one subway station and plate it in gold. "Next Stop: Trump Station at Trump Street and Trump Avenue."

One person possessing so much wealth is needless. By the same token, I reject the idea of dumping money into more "social programs" as that only leads to more entitlement among the poor. I say the money should go to paying people not to have any more damn babies. 1 per couple. Period. White. Black. Brown. Yellow. Pink. Doesn't matter what color your skin is. Overpopulation is the root of most of our major ecological problems and, as with everything else, people won't start paying any attention to it until $$$ is involved. The Mike Bloomberg Use a Condom or Else You Get Cut Off program is what I'd like to see.

Trump doesn't have $3B. He might not even be worth $100MM. He pretends to be a billionaire and flaunts his supposed wealth because his entire business is based on convincing people he's rich and living this super-luxury lifestyle and they should want it too. He owns hardly any real estate. He makes money by licensing his name to put on other folks' projects because gullible rich people are willing to pay extra to associate themselves with his name.

what about moving to russia to escape the UGLIEST city scape? NYC has no public policies on architecture, no green spaces, and poverty is at view with all the postmodern noise possible... NYC is not very rich in living standards...even for the rich.

i would never back as it is obscenely expensive now. And their new President says that inflation came from "outside Russia" i.e. blame the US. All the fashionable dictatorships do it so why not Russia?

i was in moscow in 2001 and there was a restaruant that would give you all the pizza you could eat for a year for 200 dollars. everything was cheap and everything was for sale back then. i would never back as it is obscenely expensive now.

Who needs that kind of money? It's said that multi-billionaires are living only a few miles from one of the poorest census tracts in the country (Brownsville). They should be giving away their money in droves to worthwhile causes, like education and other social programs. Especially Trump, who flaunts his money like no other.

They're also self-made and don't depend on Wall Street. Is using your cronies in the Kremlin to help you scoop up former state assets on the cheap or using the feeble courts to help really self-made?
