    But giving someone at the bare minimum support from the state is apparently setting the wrong incentive. They say free money for doing nothing is communism and makes people lazy while giving a billinaire billlions for doing nothing is late capitalist doublespeak. I hope he suffocates on it.

      This is free money in the way that it’s a return on his investment. This has nothing to do with the state other than they will collect tax revenue on this distribution annually.

      This should be a motivational post to get people investing. heck of a retirement payout this guy’s getting.

          What risk? Market goes up, the Rich ain’t gonna let that stop so you may as well catch on the coat tails.
