I? wish somebody help me, watch my video and donate. But I guess Philanthropist doesn’t really exist.

eastariel says:

What? more could he want?
He has love.

eastariel says:

Wow, I felt so happy listening to this man speak. He has angelic energy. I can tell from his voice that he’s a really good person.
What a wonderful, loving man. I have many heroes, and I just found another one — Paul Navone. It’s great when you find someone who has so little and? yet gives so much.

TheNanakDev says:

There should also be very high taxes for anything made in foreign countries to encourage local spending. Also, any company that sells products from foreign countries to be sold here should have to pay very high taxes to sell them here.?

jeffery19677 says:

LESS SPENDING AND LOWER TAXES FOR EVERYONE. If the government would quit wasting our money on studying the drinking habits of hookers in China, (they granted $100 grand for this), we would have plenty of money? to help poor people..
We have mis-management BIG TIME. 47% of the United States DOESN’T PAY TAXES! Everybody should pay their “fair share”. Earned income credits let people MAKE MONEY. That shouldn’t happen.

TheNanakDev says:

Higher taxes for luxury? items.

jeffery19677 says:

What would? you have the Left-wing American do differently? I am really curious.

jeffery19677 says:

What would you have left-wing Americans? do differently? I am really curious about this.

TheNanakDev says:

Left-wing Americans are way, way too? conservative.

jeffery19677 says:

The interviewer was the typical left-wing idealogue. (ms).? He was concentrating on how BAD it felt to do without instead of how Good it felt to not NEED anything that you couldn’t provide.. The man has PLENTY of money to do with, and go see anything he wants! That, my friends, is FREEDOM!! But to the Left, he is one of those rich guys who needs the shit taxed out of them to provide to the poor….

totallykeet says:

I agree with you 100%. Has the interviewer never met? anyone who isnt materialistic!? Heck he is an older guy as well, My dad id a bit like that too. Makes him seem like a freak :(

stephen geraci says:

You are very misinformed my friend. Your statement makes no sense at all and has nothing? to do with people living below their means. It sounds like the ramblings of someone who has schizophrenia.

Iamgandhiful says:

if everyone lived this way, it would be worse. chinese would be starving if they wouldnt be making our electronics, bill gates wouldnt be able to? donate billions, africa would be even worse. its foreign investment that makes countries rich. after two months I bought a new laptop because the other one wasnt fast enough. thats what makes countries rich, shopping, and of course regular donations to Concern worldwide, Cambodian childrens fund and other NGO’s that keep the poor alive.

carbow says:

True? that.

stephen geraci says:

If you think about it Warren Buffett is the same way.? He loves his work and looks at it as his work of art. He dosen’t spend much on material possession for all his worth.

paypalbid says:

being frugal? is great. Being extreme is sad.

MichaelsPet says:

aww…This dude is cool!
Way to? go..TV will suck your brain out of your ass..make you turn into them :D

stephen geraci says:

If everyone? lived this way, we would not be in the state we are in today.

BlacklitFloater says:

that guy is? cool!

a little weird, but sensible.

BlacklitFloater says:

well at least? he doesn’t mind.

benknefelkamp says:

he was a? mill worker

0410warner says:

cool.
but what was his work?

If must have been pretty fun if he was willing to do 8? hrs overtime

trublgrl says:

I think this? guy is an axample of the saying “If your job is what you enjoy, you’ll never work a day in your life.” He never complained about working, he seems to have loved the work environment he was in, and hey, guess what, since he spent so much time working, he saved a lot of money he’d have otherwise wasted pursuing happiness in other ways. Bravo!

abcmole says:

He lived and is living life the way he wanted, who would? begrudge a man that.

DougieBarclay says:

such? a valuable asset to society.

envilblade says:

oh my? god

niT01 says:

what a waste of your life, what good is all his money now that hes old? he can’t buy back his? youth, and who cares how rich he is when he dies, it does him no good.
