I seriously doubt that if Michaele was indeed a socialite she’d be employed as a
receptionist, department store clerk or makeup artist… Paris Hilton she is not….
These two are posers who don’t pay their bills and are taking this reality/celebrity train
for all its worth…They are both idiots.

I don’t know if there is anywhere we can find how much he gave away, but let’s assume it’s north of $3 billion.
$60 - $90 billion per year worth of “simple mistakes”?
Hi,
Most Medicare payment errors are simple mistakes and are not the result of physicians, providers,or suppliers trying to take advantage of the Medicare system.The vast majority of physicians,providers,and suppliers who serve people with Medicare are committed to providing high quality care to their patients and to billing the program only for the payments they have earned.
The article is just devastating. It seems that the United States is becoming a giant version of .... a GCC state like Kuwait, Qatar, the UAE or Saudi Arabia.
Definitely worth reading. Thanks for posting it.
wonderful post of great help for my dessertation. book markde. thans so much for sharing this.
That is crazy that is started in 2002 and they were able to go on for so long without getting caught. It’s amazing to think that they were able to hide that volume from auditors. Or maybe not so amazing when you hear of other similar stories that happened as well. Shows you how great the auditing process and standards were.

Yeah, i recently came across your blog and have been reading along..
Really informative post. Hoping you will share more updates like this.
It’s great to read many different opinions on the topic of bill and melinda gate’s philanthropy efforts. I personally think Bill is helping the world tremendously. He is going to be able to save and improve the lives of potentially millions of people. His philanthropic efforts could be unmatched compared to anyone throughout history. This is just my opinion, I enjoy reading everyone else’s as well.
All the best,
Mark

Bill Gates has given around 10 Billion to charity, and almost all of it to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation… Which he controls.
I ask you, what kind of charity is it if you give money away but still control it.
Some how he gave it away and didn’t.
Thats special.
Shame on B.of A. and Wachovia
You can post in french and I am anti capitalist
I found your site while looking for info on the Gates Foundation. I am so tired of hearing how charitable they are. When they aren’t, really.
Thanks for making such good points.
I love how some people reflexively have issues with certain descriptive words. Gay, Jewish, whatever. Never mind that the words may appropriately describe the individual.
Since when is it wrong to describe an Italian as an Italian or a Mormon as a Mormon or Christian as a loony-tune? Same goes for gay men or women. You are what you are. We aren’t making any judgements about your sexuality or religion, except for Evangelicals.
Nevertheless, perhaps you should ask that question of the author who wrote the article we referenced ... which came from a gay-themed web site called towleroad.com. Maybe, just maybe, the word “gay” was used because the “gay” community doesn’t approve of “gays” who make the “gay” community look bad.
In other words, it’s not our headline. And, even if it was, we wouldn’t have a problem with it.
what does being gay have to do with any of this?
Thank you Alexander. We are happy to accept your gracious compliment for our part in researching and compiling these articles. We can’t take credit for most of the writing, only our Original Content.
I really enjoy reading your articles. I greatly appreciate the hard nose reporting you are providing in this age of decadence and self aggrandizement. Thanks for all your hard work in exposing the vile plutocrat !
You’ve stated in clear terms what I believe is the biggest problem our country faces: The belief that education is “a luxury”. Studies show that the U.S. is falling behind in virtually every sphere of education. My wife is a collegiate educator and I can say without any shade of obnoxiousness that the essay tests I read are nothing to be proud of. Her exams clearly show that our general “under-education” is not relegated to a specific class of society.
You suggest that the best hope for the poor is to make it in entertainment and sports. I fail to see how this statement is any less obnoxious than your assertion that education is a luxury? Poor people have the same capacity to learn as rich people. This is why expanding access to education is so important.
The point of this article was to highlight conspicuous consumption. That much I agree with, but I’m taking it a step further and arguing that conspicuous consumption is one consequence of an incomplete education. Being “educated” is not simply about having “knowledge”.
Many of the rich do not possess money, but rather, are possessed by it. The most extreme case was that of the late Adolf Merkle - a billionaire who committed suicide after some financial losses.
Even more aggravating is Perry’s refusal of education grants for the “Race to the Top” program. The man infuriates me so. Damn. Much.

Getting an education is a luxury item many cannot afford, so I’m not really buying into ever bringing it up as evidence against someone’s character. Especially when educated people use their knowledge as a weapon to humiliate and insult people who weren’t as fortunate. That is the obnoxiousness of the middle class. Denigrating the taste and grammar of the poor. It’s disgusting. For poor people, making it as an athlete or entertainer may be the best hope - and I think it’s a slippery slope to say artists aren’t as valuable, less valuable, more valuable than any other occupation. Really what it comes down to is taste and having a problem with conspicuous consumption, which I also have a problem with. So stick to that.
My use of the descriptive term “under-educated” is an indisputable truth that describes more than a few of the entertainers and athletes our society worships. If you equate being “under-educated” with derision, that’s on you. I didn’t use the term “stupid”.
Neither Mrs. Carey nor Mr. Cannon are college educated. They are both, in my opinion, under-educated. You can argue all you want about whether college is a necessary component in “success” and complain that higher education is an “elitist” proposition, but I will heartily disagree because I place a tremendous value on education. Your perspective depends on what your definition of success is ... and, I don’t automatically equate “success” in life with “gobs of money”.
Educating oneself should be a perpetual lifetime pursuit. For those of our readers who don’t know, Bourgeoisie is defined as “middle class”.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts Mr. McGinnis!
