He did not make enough films in the US for him to get bankrupted by medical bills!

Jackie Chan also believes that the chinese people are better off under a communist regime because they can't think for themselves.

I wouldn't say that it is because they can't think for themselves but I sure agree that the chinese are better off with their flavor of communist capitalism. Beats the shit out of Indian "democracy" any day when you've got a billion people to herd around.

Well, it's smart totalitarianism anyway. The prevailing lesson of the last century was that even an enlightened society will surrender anything for prosperity. If the Nazis had just kept building more autobahns and eradicating unemployment instead of invading anyone, there'd be no Jews left and the month of April would be renamed Adolphus.

when rich people say they aren't making their kids trust funds babbies, they don't mean they are leaving their kids penniless. their kids will still have comfortable trust funds that draw down $0.5-5m/year, which is more than enough money to live a normal life if the kid turns out to be a useless fuckwit. what they mean is the bulk of their money is going to charity, so the kid won't have enough money to be able to do truly fucked up Middle Eastern Sheiks level of shit.

think "the kid will be arrested development rich" vs "the kid will be richie rich rich"
