Crazed Libertarian Billionaire plans real-life Bioshock-Rapture

Essentially a mobile Somalia.

Some of the rich probably got tired of stealing through legal means and decided to try real piracy for a change.

More power to them.

It sounds like a bad "Waterworld" gag. Billionaires becoming pirates of the sea's

Pirate-All hail our trusty captain Rupert Murdoch!
 
Buffet seems political naive and they all can't be George Soros. Buffet is personally conservative and that's fine with me since he doesn't add to the problem. At least he's not the Koch brothers. __________________

He did not know that Obama was full of Wall Street money when running?

Why is he superrich and not me or you if he is so dumb.

He was a fan of Hillary Clinton.


I bet that the good milionare image is nonsense just like it was with Madoff.

To be brutally honest NO ONE knew about the Wall Street money. Everybody though it was all micro-contributions.

Wealth is based totally on dumb luck. In Buffet's defense though he's very disciplined focusing on market fundamental. He's proof that tortoises win races.

Probably, but I won't pre-judge anyone. I'm putting him on the good guy column for now because honestly we don't have that many to begin with.

I think it was a couple months into his rise when i found out, but of course MSNBC would not report on it.

I dont think its jus dumb luck, he was already investing when he was about 13.

And the few guys that are good guys are well concealed or not in politics.
 
Seeing as they're Libertarians, doesn't this sound an awful lot like John Galt's retreat? Will all the "producers" end up here after the government regulates and taxes them to the point of frustration? Hmmmmm
 
If it wasn't citing the name of a known person and Facebook I'd almost think this was some viral promotion for a movie. Looks cool to me - the world needs more places like Blofeld's volcano!

Sign me up! I know something about oil rigs--not the floating kind, but I'm a quick learner and a free spirit.

What do you mean "like" ? The idiot probably got the idea from Bioshock

Yes, I'm curious how the "producers" will get things done without "parasites".

Yes. Because we all know what happens when oil rigs are built with insufficient safety precautions in a market that is completely deregulated.
 
I'll just leave these here.

Oh, and btw. Giving up government restrictions also means giving up government protection.

Good luck.

... Yeah, we get Splicers. I'll pack a chainsaw and a gun. Where does one buys guns, Wal-mart?
 
Didn't Steve Forbes start a country in the middle of the Ukraine back in '96 with a completely flat tax?

I wonder how that is going...
