Former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz rejects being labeled a "billionaire" during a Senate hearing

So sick the virtue signaling of Sanders and others trying to throw dirt at people who’ve created wealth and thousands of jobs. Their whole lives these politicians have been paid by our taxes, if not by some oil or pharmaceutical lobby trying to corrupt them.

And Schultz has done more for society than anyone on the panel with job creation and taxes paid. All those politicians know how to do is spend other people's money.

Billionaire should be a term of endearment. Coffee was invented 500 years ago and this guy came from nowhere and built a coffee empire by providing better experience. This should be celebrated not vilified.

His net worth is 3.7 billion. I believe that's an appropriate label.

Disrespectful that they wouldn’t let him finish the thought. Just because they don’t like the fact he’s self made. Terrible.

is there anything worse than politics?

Bernie Sanders cut him off because the content doesn't agree with his agenda

Americans: I want to work hard and be rich! Americans Privately: Why the fuck do I have to work so hard, and he's rich! He's living my Dream. Americans Publicly: He stole his wealth, eat the rich! He's stole my American Dream! *While sipping on an $8 Cup of Starbucks Coffee

If you collected a stimulus check, welfare check, took a bus or any form of public transportation, or drove on a street, then thank a millionaire or a billionaire. They paid for it. Not you.

earned it?? you were gifted that money as compensation because system is broken and highly unfair! You compensation is likely 1000x of average workers salary who build the company! Is your productivity 1000 times the average worker??
