Those sound pretty damning to me. Especially coming from a billionaire.

  > Especially I've only been around a few billionaires, but most of the multi-millionaires I've known pretty much toe the same schtick w/o the veneer of Ideology.

  Which part of his statement is inaccurate?

    I think making the claim that democracy and "freedom" aren't compatible is comedic at best. "Freedom" is an incredibly nebulous concept and it's no secret that we have AND should have laws that restrict behaviors like say murder, or rape. What he really means to say is "democracy is a threat to the things I want to do", and when it's coming from someone who's a member of the ultraelite, well, then... maybe it should threaten what you do. Democracy was created so THAT the masses could overpower the special interests of the elites.

      The fact that freedom is a nebulous concept makes his claim nebulous, not comedic.
