All these people that complain about these billionaires and all these guys, who do you think's keeping this country afloat? How do you think this works, you dummies? Right? Where do you think this government money comes from? You know, one of the things, all you young people watching this right now, you don't want anything from the government. The only thing you want from the government is for them to stay out of your business.
