People that stack money covet money!
Well, let's say i borrowed 10,000 to buy Microsoft stock around 1990. Do you know how much that much money, invested then, is worth today? Now supposing I did that, would you call taking 10,000.00 and letting it sit around for 12 years, when it became worth over 25 million "worth nothing"?
You see, companies that carry a balance of cash are making money as it just sits there. That is their choice as it would be your choice if you were ambitious and talented enough to own your own business.
I keep a balance as well, for unforseen emergencies and for future purchases and developement. If I were not in need of anything in my company at any given time, yet went out and spent every dime of my reserves, I would have done nothing but bought a bunch of junk I don't need, now wouldn't have I? That would be absurbly ignorant.
I give a good share of money to charity, but I do it because I want to, not because my way of government forces me to.
About your stereotyping of Americans. Are you always that much of an ignorant person?
Are you European? Do you bathe more than once a month? Do you still have all of your teeth and how far along is the rotting? Do you lie around like a bum and make your living from other people's toil?
Are those the types of questions I should be asking you?
YOu see the inappropriate and asinine nature of your comment now?
