earlier this week we talk to you about new Oxfam report but had some statistics
about global inequality the biggest one being that the richest
eighty-five people in the world have as much wealth as the bottom 3.5
billion now that is I think at best an
ominous figure not everybody agrees with that though let's go to kevin O'Leary he
was on that Canadian television and he thinks it's a great thing
because according to Oxfam on the world 85 richest people
if equal to the three and a half billion poorest
people it's fantastic and this is a great thing because inspired
everybody gets the motivation to look up to the one percent and say I want to
become one of those people I'm gonna fight hard to get up to the top
this is fantastic news and of course I applaud it what I'm doing wrong with
this
really yes really somebody living on I celebrate I had a dollar today in africa
is
getting up in the morning think I'm gonna be bill gay that's the motivation
everybody in the Miata
a rotation I just need a pilot Mike I am NOT don't have thought like don't tell
me that you want to redistribute wealth again that's never going to happen all I
know what you take a symbol that like this which is neither good nor bad it's
just a fact that the seller charges that I'm very excited about nine wonderful to
see it happen
I tell kids every day if you know what's good and what's wrong with this at a
cocktail party or not many what's wrong with this right now possible with God
you and work hard you might be stinking rich Obama people in extreme
abject poverty that's how you get 3901 I and we're just talking that really
matters grateful
no ok write a letter what you should do this
I love it like when you say in 85 rich people 3.5 billion
he doesn't even here the poor like it doesn't even register now we're talking
about the bridge right
you're also talking about the poor so she had a great line about their oh wait
I don't have Sykes
in appetite but you have to go all the way to Africa so in the example I was
there was low in West Virginia cuz I was there about a dozen years ago and its
it's a pretty poor town if you've never been there right
and I like it because it removes all the racial aspects with the white town
in everybody in town this poor according to kevin O'Leary
golly gee they just got a little bit me they didn't know their poll bombs in
that town yeah
on everyone everyone I would like if they were all motivated they would all
be incredibly rich in Logan West Virginia
as it turns out what are we unbelievable question is all the bums the world was I
double dare
yeah that that's not how it works is because they didn't have very good
opportunity in the first place now look
it doesn't mean dead working hard is it to get you somewhere yes oh ok or you
are gored and I think it'd
you can make all the difference in the world but those two things
are not mutually exclusive the you might that it's harder for you logo estrogen
is harder for you in the Bronx certainly harder for you in sub-saharan Africa
rate it does we should give up short course you should work hard
but then the say well those eighty five guys made it so then
I guess you are just as good as of course you don't have as good a chance
by the way they were among those eighty five guys is six Walmart airs
didn't even do anything their dad
okay bless his heart i mean a lot of people will bless his heart
because he lot a questionable things had to get them there
well sam walton but are given to all night but the chairs the six airs
the Walmart old wooden reportedly walked two houses for any more than just
everyone the gene pool lottery
that's all the Koch brothers who actually did increase our world
also inherited four hundred million dollars yeah well
that's not pull your socks up that's why you're making your dad's baby down up
yeah and and I totally agree and we say how it it harder to achieve
and that makes and cyclic way we don't need it harder as in like you pick up
the governing you resist the man it's really hard to resist this company like
its hard like there's no computers in my village nobody has shoes in my village
that is a really hard and we would not have a problem with the $85 million
people it was actually about
you know I economic determinism in these people being motivated and stuff like
that but that's not how it happened
they get there they get to the top of the economic matinee
as you I think use this term earlier and the burn the bridge behind them and they
read the system the rubric the economic system
and then read the political system to give you the small chance possible to
achieve
what they achieved and that so he is in can I do with a reporter was but i wanna
see more per because I love the fact that she called him on his bullshit
yes that's a pep rally mandalay and I like it a lot
a logo or see on this by no one knows that it's possible better than
I do my family does red my father who gropers a
very poor farmer in southeastern Turkey in a tiny little Pow
right and how to get to where he is now he did two things
but you say that guys like Kevin only rule we tell you about 10 but what about
was that he worked his ass off right
they got up at four in the morning to go literally separate the wheat from the
chaff
which turns out to be a real pain in the ass but okay
well and and picking olives grapes et cetera et cetera
any study really hard now to gregg education and then wound up
no sorry his own business and then another business and one upcoming
American living the American dream a given
his kids all doctor in the world for which I'm greatly thankful
right okay but the other part of it is the party don't talk about
that where he scored in the top 15 percent in the exam
in Turkey you get a free education at the best school
okay now that's opportunity that he didn't have that opportunity
by the way government created opportunity okay the government says
I'm gonna give you this education for free if you have that opportunity right
now my ass is big in all those in southeastern Turkey
okay so you need bowls and if the kevin O'Leary the world said hey you know
if it was fair and those eighty five guys are in it and you know there's
debates about that as john pointed out as to how much they really earned it
whether they were heirs is like I said or they rate this system is John says
and I'm sure among the 85 their people would totally did earlier right n
their fair square et cetera but if we all had that option
at least an opportunity to shop for that they would be different question if
kevin O'Leary said
hey you know what the most important thing is I wanna make sure 3.5 million
people
at the same chance that those 85 dead right then that's a conversation worth
having.
but the way he sees it as I knew I couldn't live there also
and if you don't get to where they did your Paul yeah
