World's Richest Woman's Advice to the Poor: Drink Less and Work More!
Are you poor? It's your fault - you should
work harder and drink less, then you, too, can become a millionaire! That's the
advice from the world's richest woman, Australian mining tycoon Gina
Rinehart.
"If you're jealous of those with more money, don't just sit there and
complain," she said in a magazine piece. "Do something to make more money
yourself -- spend less time drinking or smoking and socialising, and more time
working." [...]
Why are people poor? Rinehart blamed what she described as "socialist,"
anti-business government policies, and urged Australian officials to lower the
minimum wage and cut taxes.
"The millionaires and billionaires who choose to invest in Australia are
actually those who most help the poor and our young," she said. "This secret
needs to be spread widely."
Gina, of course, made her money the
old-fashioned way: she inherited it.
