There are countries already owned by billionaires. UAE for starters. And the families that own UAE own LOTS of things all around the world.
send Gates to live in India...right on the Ganges River
Bill Gates should consider buying Robert Mugabe's Zimbabwe. In fact, he could could buy Zimbabwe almost 25 times over. The Southern African country was once Africa's breadbasket.
But now, thanks to Mugabe's violent and corrupt rule, global isolation and especially western sanctions, Zimbabwe's GDP has fallen to $1.9billion.
It's a such a shame that Mr. Obama has renewed the Bush-era sanctions on Zimbabwe and we all applaud ourselves for "punishing the dictator". Sanctions affect only the ordinary people. They're the weapons of cowards!
they've already bought America, or at least most of the politicians.
Maybe he is writing a financial, moralistic...lesson in life book while he is in jail...
RENT...
we do not own the land...
one person should not own the land...
some people live ON a plot of land
that they call theirs...
then its their responsibility to give back
FROM that land
to others...
we don't get time to think...
we buy houses out of fear
to have insurance
or nest eggs...
the we are tied forever to houses
for fear
that we may not get a job
to insure our next rent or mortgage
or a job if we are left alone or alone with children
to pay the rent
it would all be solved if we make
EMPLOYMENT
a sure thing.
GREED IS FEAR.

I'm willing to let Gates buy us. He has to throw in 20 asphalt layers and a million gallons of paint.
All money is loaned into existence.
Dethklok is currently the world's seventh largest economy.
Hey, maybe all those protesters screaming that they want "their" country back should go purchase their own countries!! Oh, they're not rich enough? Then scr.e.w them, just like the repugs say to the rest of us.
Uh, not to state the obvious, but the billionaire clubs already bought the US (legislators, that is)...
STlNKlNG FlLTHY RlCH. Who in their right mind can live with such wealth when others have no food and shelter? Oh yes, I forgot. It's all the poor people's fault that they are poor. Right?
Misleading. You don't base purchase price on earnings, you base it on debt.
