Dave Ramsey Exposes Shaq As A "Greedy Rich Person"

@@aaronbrendel7624 It’s not about Shaq, it’s about Ramsey, because he proclaimed he is a Christian, yet he is praising a freemason. And i will not go into depth about freemasons. But they use philanthropy for their own benefit, and they do it in such matter, that draws attention. So when they give - they receive something out of it.

[@downburst1]

People say Dave is a Christian and indeed Dave says so too. But believe me and the New Testament if it’s revealed to you, Dave has demonstrated through the years many times that he is driven by greed first and foremost and believes his earned rent is mana from heaven. It’s as related to heaven as much as Putins money. Giving a % of this money to his chosen charity matters not one single thing, may as well give it to himself, which is what he is actually doing in a perverse way. He is blind to the injustice in the world and how the pyramid works. He’s not a violent man, nor does he hurt anyone on purpose. He’s a man more desperate for money than the most desperate caller. He wants you to climb that pole even if he knows others must be buried in the foundations. Never mentions the billions suffering or the injustice in the system he loves more than anyone including..he’s aware though of these injustices and has a platform to discuss

[@zddlvl]

Shaq is one of the few celebrities that I actually admire. I saw a clip of him the other day saying that he makes sure he blesses at least one person every time he leaves the house. Amazing guy.

[@lcmichaels7215]

for Christmas my best friend and I bought 200 can openers and he handed them out to victims of Typhoon Odette in the Philippines. Some of these women were crying from "such" generosity. One mother showed my friend her hand with a finger missing. She lost it from opening a can with a machete when the blade slipped when she was 18. Some of these mothers, daughters, women had never even seen a can opener up close. A simple $3 USD item and so many of them never owned one because $3 to them is a full day's earnings (if not more). It bought me to tears and confirmed my decision of permanently moving there in late April.

When they were on the streets of Orlando they saw Shaq about to hop in a car (limo?). The daughter of the dying father ran up to Shaq before he hopped in the vehicle and told him the situation the family and the father were in. Shaq told the driver to wait, ran up to the family and gave them all hugs and posed for pictures. Theres a million stories out there like this about Shaq.

If anything, wealth comes with a responsibility to help people in need all the time and Shaquille embraces it.

This is why I believe there should be a stipulation in sports contracts that athletes earning ove a certain amount or receive huge signing bonuses should be make to put at least 75 percent of that contract into a trust for a period of time to get them over the "lottery" feeling and teach them good sound financial sense.

I agree with what you said on the other video that "there are greedy people on both ends of the spectrum of rich and poor" and to add to that there are gererous people on both ends of that same spectrum it just looks different for someone who's poor and may not look like generosity when they help someone out with buying someone something as small as a coffee or chipping in to help with paying for gas because the other person didn't realize they didn't have the exact amount of money. I've seen generosity from strangers both rich and poor which is heartwarming to say the least. I've seen someone who is a poor old pensioner but living within their means, live on less to be able to help others out when needed and never told anyone. That person reminds me of the widow in the bible who Jesus said she gave more than the others because she gave everything. I love hearing about generosity regardless of wealth being a factor so please keep these coming and I'll keep sharing because I'm tired of people raggin on rich people and saying they're all bad and greedy the same as I'm tired of assuming that all poor people are lazy and don't manage their money.
