My God, I don't know anyone who likes to accumulate their wealth more than the Europeans.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When an American heiress wants to buy a man, she at once crosses the Atlantic. The only really materialistic people I have ever met have been Europeans.
I wish Americans thought more like Europeans when it comes to money and work. They take time off, they do what they love. We think work is the most valued commodity. Really the most valued commodity is time.
You've got the top 400 Americans owning more wealth than the bottom 150 million Americans. Most folks do not think that is right.
I believe wealth should be in the hands of those who know how to create more wealth.
I strongly believe that those of us who are privileged to have wealth should contribute significantly to try and create a better world for the millions who are far less privileged.
We have seen... that, although England is by far the richest nation of Europe, we have already outstripped her in the race after wealth, and we have only begun the development of our vast resources.
The only truly affluent are those who do not want more than they have.
Europeans have it better than the Americans. The Americans work too hard. The balance is out of whack. Europe's hung onto a little bit more of living a life and then working as well.
Our main task is not to see that people of great wealth add to it, but that those without much money have a greater chance to earn some.
There are rich people everywhere, and yet they don't contribute to the growth of their countries.
