Greedy corporatist Russell Simmons is getting rich off the backs of the poor! A recent article on Russell Simmons (here at IHTM) got us thinking . . . what are the chances that Russell Simmons anti-corporate rhetoric is a lot of hokum poised to gain him favor and standing in the estimation of the naive and ill informed? As it turns out the chances are pretty good. But on the bright side we have learned a pretty good lesson here. And we now finally understand how exactly it is that rich people get even richer off the backs of the poor. Russell Simmons does it by using his influence and cache to convince the financially incompetent to eschew the responsible path and choose a fee-laden pre-paid card so that he can get his grubby -but well manicured- fingers on a percentage of their paychecks, tax returns and *ahem* “benefit” checks. But we’re not that surprised. Russell Simmons is just another greedy one-percenter who doesn’t put his money where is mouth is . . . rather he tries to put your money where he figures your mouth should be.

Did he, like Snoop Dog, keep his pimp hand strong?
One thing about rap "moguls". They have no problem with illegal businesses.
Not bad for a bunch of Crack Cocaine dealers. I bet he didn't pay any taxes on it either. Was "Dear leader" one of your regular customers?
I'm sure there is a certain amount of laundering going on here.
didn't they used to call that a loan shark?
Sounds to me that Russell is only doing what his daddy Obama taught him to do, steal fro the poor and give to himself.
I wonder if the original Rush might want to consider filing a "cease and desit" order - someone might wanna forward it over to ElRushbo at EIB....LOL
I think the band Rush might be ahead of El-Rushbo in line on that one.
Rushcards ought to be free.
Was that a parody?
I don't think I have to comment, because y'all know.
Simmons, Buffet, Gates, Kennedy's, Soros, Hollywood assholes, etc, all make a lot of noise about people not paying their fair share, other people's greed, whining about the poor, etc, just to take the focus off themselves as they are way more greedy than the very people they accuse. Typical democrats, for thee but not me of course. They well know the utter stupidity of democrat supporters.
Socialism is the people, NOT the socialist.
He didn't build that empire barry and his peeps did it. That and the backs of those he claims to be a part of. Simmons is just another liberal who is willing to tell others what they need to do, while they are doing just the opposite.
That's called PROJECTION, & that's what the Dems do best.
