Egypt

[rockslide26]

So you have probably heard about the riots in Egypt. I was thinking, assuming the president in Egypt makes the same salary as Barack Obama makes ($500,000 a year), at the end of Obama's term, he will have made a grand total of $2,000,000. Now let's assume that the Egyptian president makes the same salary. He has been in office for about 30 years. If you do the math, he should have made $15,000,000. But the Egyptian president has an estimated wealth of $80,000,000,000. Where did he get the extra money? Corruption and a few leg a business ventures. Post your thoughts on this.

The fallacy here is that we don't know how much he makes through salary.

Obama only makes $300,000 a year I believe.

He probably makes less than Obama does, which is even stranger. Many Egyptians make $2 an hour. The president should do something to help them instead of being a bitchy selfish man.

I heard it was a pyramid scheme.

I'm going to hell for that.

He was probably super-rich beforehand, and it's not like there aren't ways to grow your money legally. I'm not saying I don't support the Egypt riots though, democracy all the way (I just hope it turns out well).

Worst outcome is that the people overthrow the president and another country takes over in the midst of the political instability.

Oohohoohoho

$80,000,000,000.

Bullstuff. Bill Gates has a net worth of $53 billion.

The Egyptian president has an estimated $80 billion. Nobody actually knows how much money he stole has.

Please tell me you're kidding.

I hate the government, but even I know that it would be loving stupid for DC to help the citizens of Egypt make more money.
