How hypocritical can Rich DeVos get?

 

November 1, 2010|By Mike Thomas, COMMENTARY
A mixed bag today, featuring Rich DeVos, Harry Potter and reader payback …
Does Rich DeVos have no shame? The billionaire Magic owner blackmailed Central Florida into building him a new $480 million arena, with him kicking in a measly 12 percent. The rest of the money came from taxpayers, who will be paying off the building for the next 30 years.
And now we see a commentary from DeVos in Sunday's paper trumpeting his free-market principles and decrying deficit government spending. Is he actually serious?
"The recipe is almost always the same: Spending money they don't have for projects they don't need,'' he wrote about government spending.
Gee, ya think!
DeVos is so rich, so entitled and so detached from reality that he can't even see the hypocrisy flowing out of his own keyboard. I bet even Alex Martins cringed.
This is like Tiger Woods lecturing us on monogamy.
