Steve Wynn Epic Anti-Obama Rant Part II - Full Audio And Transcript With Complete #OccupyWallStreet Thoughts
One quarter after going on an epic anti-Obama monologue at the end of his Q2 earnings call, Steve Wynn comes back with a sequel, confirming that when it comes to completely justified anti-presidential rants, he is truly second to none. Topics touched upon include massive government deficits, the business climate, the administration's horrendous handling of the economy, and of course, Occupy Wall Street. His damning conclusion: " I am watching my employees standard of living drop off because of deficits. I think that the American public is beginning to make the connection between deficits and their own loss of the standard... I say right now that the Democratic agenda of spend and bribe the public has bankrupt this country, and until it stops, the citizens of this country are in for more hard times. And fancy speeches aren't going to change that. Only a fundamental realization that citizens are going to have to take real, sophisticated responsibility for how we allocate the resources of this country."
The rant begins 45 minutes into the clip below.

<Q>: Hey, Steve, you know, the topic, at least here in New York is occupy Wall Street, and I was going to ask a wise as question about whether or not you're going to contribute to that cause, but I do think that it -- it raises an interesting political question, and which is, the -- how do you see the landscape of politically now? Is there any reason for optimism given the current slate of candidates to give you hope for the regulatory environment improving for your business?
<A>: We had -- we had the debate here last night. We have a focus group that actually took place last night. You know, it's very interesting about the folks who are occupying Wall Street. That group is quite diverse. There are people in there that think the government should give them more, just because they are alive, regardless. There are people there who are opposing government spending. There are people there that are opposing bailouts. That group is not homogeneous by any means. What you do have on Wall Street is a reflection of the anxiety, insecurity and the fear that is endemic in the United States of America about the way government a has gotten into the business of people's life and the validity of the government, unintelligently, seeing these deficits, and government spending professionally to the point that everybody's financial security. I am watching my employees standard of living drop off because of deficits. I think that the American public is beginning to make the connection between deficits and their own loss of the standard.
People are being paid in dollars on the way to 7 cent dollars, and answer though I have given two cost of living increase toss my employees, I'm upgrading losses in America, plus I've been able to get some money from the cap. I have not been able to keep up with the effect of deficits on the living standard of my employees. The net result of all of this is frustration, anxiety, and anger. You're seeing that on Occupy Wall Street. You can see it taken to the next level in Greece where people are trying to break into a parliament, primarily controlled by the unions. There comes a moment when the population realizes that it has to stop and sometimes it takes a form of tax the rich people which is, you know, a reflection more of a lack of understanding of how the economy works.
Rich people are now being defined by the administration as people who make a million dollars. Well, most of the businesses in America, other than giant corporations, are paying taxes under chapter S, partnerships or individual proprietorships. So somebody shows that they make $3 million or $2 million this year and they pay personal taxes on that money. They subtract their cost of living and then what's left, and that does not show that probably 25 or 30% of their profits are tied up in accounts receivable or inventory, stuff that they can't spend or get their hands on, but to support their business and their employment, and then they take whatever is left, these so-called millionaires, and they open up another shop or another office and that, that is the only known engine of growth of the United States of America, and we have an administration that is fanning the fires that this is somehow undeserved, profligate millionaires, and it is worse than hypocrisy. It is totally dishonest.
It represents by young people who don't know the difference, simple misunderstanding and lack of understanding of how the economy works for what's going on in America, but if it's politician that does it, or a union leader, then it represents something much more pernicious. It represent as deliberate misleading of the public. And I think that Americans are waking up to this. And it's taking the form of anger and dissatisfaction with the government. And I think that's probably just right because until there is a change, until this all stops, it's only going to get worse, no matter what anybody says in some fancy speech, even if it is the president, it is going to get worse. People say we're angry at the government for not compromising both sides. Well, we don't really have a situation that lends itself to what reasonable people would call compromise. We've got a situation that requires a change. That is to say one side is right here and the other side is wrong.
You cannot sustain these deficits, you cannot undercut the people that form the jobs and create the employment in this country.
I'll give you an example of Las Vegas in my own industry. Across the street from me is an piece of property that's 34 acres. It's owned by two Israeli gents that are friends of mine that bought it at a very high price and are sort of in a difficult position now. They even own money against that property. They have come to me on a monthly basis to say, go ahead, Steve, you take it, build something, connect it to Wynn and Encore, you're golf courses and convention facilities and help us get out of this, we're willing to take a very long-term approach and we'll turn the property over to you, even if we have to pay off the loan. Well, that's a very attractive offer, especially since they are willing to pay us for management, design and supervision, as well as the money to invest. But I have to tell both of these men's who are friends of mine, look, I can't give you a reasonable projection of what this return on investment will be even if we spent 2 billion and create 10 thousand direct jobs and another 30 thousand indirect jobs for a total of 40 thousand jobs, that's how many jobs I could create if I broke ground on the Frontier property if I broke ground in the next six months or a year. But I can't tell the men who are willing to sacrifice any short-term benefit in exchange for a long-term opportunity, because I cannot predict what healthcare costs are going to be, what regulatory load they are going to heap on us, what new taxes or other burdens this insatiable governmental appetite for money from the citizens will take us to.
Now, that is simply a statement of fact. It isn't a partisan political pitch.
It's simply a statement of fact from a businessman who has supported probably more Democrats than Republicans. But I say right now that the Democratic agenda of spend and bribe the public has bankrupt this country, and until it stops, the citizens of this country are in for more hard times.
And fancy speeches aren't going to change that.
Only a fundamental realization that citizens are going to have to take real, sophisticated responsibility for how we allocate the resources of this country.

Yes, blame the democrats, moron! Bush Jr. added roughly four trillion to the deficit while he was in office. He also passed the Medicare prescription drug act.
Wake the f*ck up, this isn't about left/right, dem/rep, lib/con, it's about elite v. poor. All politicians are crooks, working for the highest bidder.
Well at least it took Bush eight years. Obummer did that and more in two. But I agree with you on the broader point.
Ever hear of Clinton? How many Bushes does it take? Infinity?
Patence deserves a " VOTE "... A "CUBS' game" Mr. , President?
Dimocrats are Gods!
They sucked you in.
Obama has spent 5 trillion in 3 years. Hellllooooooooo
The point is to FIX the problem NOT quadruple down on it.
And get off Bushs dick already, jesus fucking christ how long are you fucking idiots going to bringing him up? Lets just blame this on Johnson and the Vietnam war.
Wilson did it, ok?
Brian?
The dog from Family Guy?
The volleyball from Castaway?
Bah, Cyrus Griffin didn't do enough to head this off at the pass.
This is all George Washingtons fault.
People are going to stay on Bush's case as long as others try to propagate the myth that Republicans are fiscally conservative. Both parties are profligate spenders.
What myth?
Who here is saying all Republicans are fiscally conservative? I don't think I have EVER heard anyone trying to say Bush was a fiscal conservative.
Shit...Kennedy was a democrat and he is a far right leaning conservative compared to todays standards.
Don't bother trying. They are to blind to understand. To them it's just about defending "their guy". It's a damn shame this place is being taken over by obamanoids. Used to be populated by people who understand they are all the same.
finally.
Stevie boy, shut the F Up and go back to China ... I mean, didn't this fascist move there last year? Anybody who thinks all of this is Obama's work is too stupid to walk around. This course was set decades ago ... we're looking at the leeward shore now, sure - but the captain of this ship of state who set the course did it when Obama was about 9 years old.
Thank you, Thorny Xi, thank you!
As of July 1999, there has been ZERO NET NEW job creation.
They've offshored the production assets (mostly to China and India, plus elsewhere) and they've offshored the capital assets.
Wynn's people did that, and nobody else.
They can't continue to blame the politicians when they own them!
Wynn's a wussy who deserves to meet us in a dark alley some night --- then I'll really give his butt something to whine about!
duplicate removal
The real problem is 99% of the populace are morons, and the other 1% are crooks.
Which one are you?
Me, I 'm 100% moronic, crook.
I always write-in my wife's name for presidential elections.
She doesn't have a chance, but we write-off one hell-of-a post election party.
I wrote in your wife too. Used my 'white ink' pen.
You are invited to the post election party.
Organized crime speaks through it's asshole. Bets he votes for Obama
Dood. The mob moved on from gambling a long time ago. They figured more damage could be done running the banks and the government.
Steve, did you put your elbow through another Picasso?
well, then, don't break ground on the Frontier property, steve...
...we understand...
...listen. i'll call my guys and have them do the tax credits for you guys on the construction & hotel jobs, than maybe some QE III LSAP asap to get some nice hot money flying, and then we'll raise 1/2-a-Bil $ @ 3% for 30 years in the bond market, ok?
anything else, mr whynn?
yay, more useless left/right bullshit.
The sooner we vote out 536 minions of the banks, the better.
537 to be technical, there is a VP.
What about the 500,000 morons hired in the myriad depts?
(Only 500k cuz some are worthwhile.)
Whose the idiot that can't add?
535 CONgress, 1 prez+VP.
Libtards.
100 gratefruits
435 lemons
9 kiwi
1 orange
1 pineapple [topping the pyramid]
= 546 fruit salad du`jour
[leg/cong/?] hmmm
You. The VP is a senator and has been counted twice. -536 for you.
Not so technical. He is the Senate tie-breaker vote. Let's not forget the 9 SC(RO)TUS members.
maybe Steve-O needs to give his employees a raise and not a COLA either...
L.ost Vegas [sic] is doing horrible and he blames someone ele just like the other idiot droned minions...has anyone taken responsibility for the past 20 years of craziness? hell..forget the 20 yrs..how about 100? no.. every friggin moron is a victim all of a sudden.
as of now, anyone critical of steve-0...
...has one junk L0L!!!
For the Wynn?
WTF!
Dude that transcription is a disaster. Wynn made a lot of sense. The transcription doesn't. Somebody needs to fix it. I've started here:
http://www.wcvarones.com/2011/10/steve-wynn-goes-off-again-about-how.html
"I am watching my employees standard of living drop off because of deficits. I think that the American public is beginning to make the connection between deficits and their own loss of the standard."
Can someone please explain this one to me? Where's the direct correlation? Not trying to troll or anything, just want a good answer.
Step 1. The US government runs a deficit.
Step 2. The Treasury issues bonds to raise the needed money.
Step 3. The Fed (the #1 holder of these bonds) and system of "primary dealers" magically create the needed credit to purchase the bonds.
Step 4. The new fiduciary media is spent by US gov and distributed to the early receivers, who proceed to compete for scarce resources and bid up prices.
Step 5. The late receivers of the money (you) face increased prices. The inflation of the money supply devalues the dollar and acts as a hidden tax that harms those who have cash holdings or are on fixed incomes (e.g. pensioners) the most. Also, the economy is structurally distorted toward satisfying the government's desires (e.g. propping up Goverment Motors) and away from what the consumers would have chosen (e.g. GM liquidated).
So easy an anthrapology major with a minor in literature or art in debt up to their eyeballs at OWS might be able to understand it.
If ya gonna have an avatar. Be the " MAN" , behind it! Forever!
Dr. Acula?
From Alan Greenspan in 1966:
But Greenspan was a nutball so what-the-fuck does he know.
All about nut-balls.
Right, I understand the inflation argument. But still, that sounds weak (see link below). Inflation hasn't been the major contributor to the decline of worker's standard of living... jobs and wage stagnation have, no?
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/ezra-klein/post/the-cost-of-living-is-rising-but-were-far-from-runaway-inflation/2011/10/19/gIQAmr7JyL_blog.html?wprss=ezra-klein
And yes, I know the history of Alan, the great hypocrite of our century.
well, it's empirical, mephisto_*8*, and welcome on your #3 post!
it is what he sees; what he is "watching"
i'm sure he knows what he means, aren't you? maybe we just missed something. L0L!!!
Dr_Acula and hans-el both speak to "inflation", but: a) deficit spending didn't cause the RE bubble to collapse or Las Vegas to turn into a depressed area, especially for "employees", and b) i sure wouldn't want to try to speak for mr whynn
maybe he'd feel better if he'd gotten arrested with cornel west. who knows?
He could always pay his people more.
Or tell them to shut the fuck up and work harder or he'll turn them into Immigrations and they'll be sent home.
That's what I did with my golf swing... "Swing Harder"
You know an employee that thinks they are underpaid? Geez, the ones I've met luv Wynn, and hope the Libtards don't screw them up.
not a surprise that you are enjoying the working girls/boys. Wynn does not have much control there.
Meph, look at the costs of things in 2000. Gas, Oil, HHoil, Electricity, Rent, Food, housing, medical insurance, medical care, etc, and look at wages. Compare to today. Then realize that the cost of those things are up as much as they are due to the federal governments debasement of the currency.
Can you cite something to show this? A chart, graph? I'd appreciate it... thanks.
I think government deficits would tend to decrease standard of living when they become sufficiently large, as those in the USA have.
But I think the collapse of the real-estate market in LV probably has a lot more to do with the standard of living of his employees than the deficit spending does.
It would be interesting to see any argument or suggestion that reducing deficit spending would increase the standard of living of Wynn's employees. I mean really, once you dump SS and Medicare, that's a LOT of people who no longer have gum-money to go blow at Wynn's casinos.
I suspect things would get hecka lot worse for him and his workers. Short-term, anyway--like say the next 10-15 years.
But it'd be cool to be able to buy houses for a few thousand bucks in LV, so I'm all for that.
This info below, states, "For sustained growth to occur, Berg and Ostry found, the most important factors are a relatively equal income distribution and trade openness. (See the chart on the right.) Having healthy, democratic political institutions matters quite a bit, too. Conversely, having a lot of foreign investment or keeping debt under control, among other factors, aren’t nearly as crucial. In the end, the most important factor is inequality: “a 10 percentile decrease in inequality... increases the expected length of a growth spell by 50 percent.”
And these articles do take into account the anomoly of the post WWII growth era. I know economic growth and "standard of living" aren't necessarily mutally exclusive, but surely they correllate.

If you are forced to borrow money, that means you don't really have the wealth to support your lifestyle (I believe that is what Wynn meant).
Therefore we are a nation of 99%-ers, unable to participate in the wealth of our nation.
Wealth is an exclusive club restricted to the 1%-ers, who weave an illusion of prosperity by stealing the hard-earned dollars from the 99%-ers (through taxes targeted for the well-being and benefit of the whole nation -- 100%-ers), but diverted to the 1%-ers via bail-outs and fraud.
Simple.
Though I agree with you, I highly doubt that is what Steve Wynn was talking about. Like I said earlier... "deficits" were the number #1 evil... which no one on this board has successfully proven to me yet.
Excellent analysis of Occupy Wall Street.
Rant of the year.
I'm sure Steve Wynn really cares about his employee's...more likely he cares that people aren't vacationing and losing their hard earned $$ at his casino's. Good god, what a tragedy. We all feel your pain Steve.
I wonder of Stevie would have been such a s**t had his numbers not been so bad.
or we can do AFSF - the EFSF is working so well for Europe, why not try our own
Another jerk off ranting and raving about the fact that he's not able to fuck more people out of their money. A real businessman plays the hand he is dealt and makes the best of it. These blowhards sit and complain. Wow this country really is fucked.
I have to agree with Steve Wynn but I'm tired of his "blame it all on the Democrats" bullshit.
Woodrow Wilson, FDR, LBJ, and Obama along with the rest of the US Government sent America down a bad path. A real, bad, ruinous path.
Reagan and both Bushes merely added massive afterburners to the whole shebang via massive military spending. I hate to also add Eisenhower, too... The man did warn about the Miltary Industrial State in his final Presidential address but he did let it happen. Why didn't he stop the Miltary Industrial State from growing ever larger? He knew and warned about it but let it happen. Nixon put us off the gold standard and turned to printing fiat.
Add to this the socialist warped minds of moronic Americans who think they can steal swag from others via votes...
Ladies and Gentlemen, we're fucked. Royally Fucked.
Wynn needs to get over the idiot left/right shit. Waste of time thinking like that, it's just two sides of the same coin. He's old so he's set in his ways, like my dear father or grandmother who constantly blames Democrats and thinks Republicans can do better.
So, sophisticated responsibility for how we allocate the resources of this country would be… building a 34 acre casino in Vegas. Nice rant overall.
Nice to know the Libtards/Rue Paul supporters sleep until dark. It's 7:30 pm.
This calls for the next episode of Ultraviolet.
There are so many stupid Liberals on this board! WTF!!!
btw: WTF stands for WHAT THE FUCK, not WIN THE FUTURE.
It's Wynn the Future! Pay attention.
Don't you have some 4 year olds to diddle? Seriously, that is what conservatards like. Get back to your 'work'.
Wynn could create 40k jobs on the "Frontier Property", but is limited by looming regulation not to mention existing new, onerous regulation.
Why is he not endorsing Ron Paul?
"the oracle of macau speaks such mandarin nonsense it sickens me - afterall,... who is it that got 'our' [?] useless candidate, harry back in the wynning seat - sit`eth at the right hand of the 'manchurian obama', this protean anomaly - indeed,... this eminence`grise, now paradoxically a fait`accompli served cold,... how delicious!"
yep him and Mortie in NY both fawned over the ONE and now they are upset.
Just shows neither should be within a million miles of a board room as they are both too stupid to exist or prosper without the gvt blowjob.
Both useless fucks and dumb to boot.
take away their tax breaks and golden spoon and they would be cleaning the fukin toilets if that.
The point is, there’s something wrong with this picture.
The Left is trying to claim OWS and it isn’t theirs; and the Neocons are trying to push if off on the Left by denying its message. Neither side, the Left's nor the Neocons', admits why these people are in the streets.
When you have leftists in power and it’s a protest against those in power, how can Obama claim that the protesters support his agenda?
On the other hand, when you have college students and libertarians in the protests, how can the neo-conservative critics of OWS, such as Limbaugh, define the movement by picking out selective bites to make their fraudulent case that it’s just a bunch of Obamaville hippies, public union rent-a-mobs, welfare queens and racists with signs that say The Jews Control Wall Street (anti-Semites)?
We don’t need these dishonest people. The movement’s protest is in its name: Occupy Wall Street. Most of these people are suffering because of WS’s unholy alliance to the Congress and the Presidency. And, then, Obama and Pelosi and Soros have the brass to come out on the balcony, nodding and waving to the crowds while they dodge the tomatoes, proclaiming: “These are our people!”
The truth is, their people are the Axelrods and Emanuels and Soroses and corporate media that put them in power.
Tyler's rendition of Wynn’s damning conclusion is second to none but I do take issue with Wynn's statement. “Rich people are now being defined by the administration as people who make a million dollars.” I have a slight correction: Rich people are now being defined by the President as those whose taxable income is $150,000.
Why bring Karl Rove into it? (prime Neocon)
These are the public dependent peoples that are throwing Molotovs in Athens - they have no value outside the Goobermint.
You want flames?
The neocons (former Democrat Trotskyites such as Bill Kristol who took over the Republican Party leadership to solidify a One-Party System in DC that supports Israel, War and Empire, and their principal mouthpieces Limbaugh and Hannity and Rove) are dropping bombs all over the world with their American hardware and lusting for more carnage – the death count and cost to liberty, innocence and resources is considerably more than a few Greek Molotovs… These people are public dependent, too; dependent on Wall Street, the Congress, the taxpayers and the Fed for their war coffers and ill-gotten gains...
JR is on the money.
Most of these people are suffering because of WS’s unholy alliance to the Congress and the Presidency. And, then, Obama and Pelosi and Soros have the brass to come out on the balcony, nodding and waving to the crowds while they dodge the tomatoes, proclaiming: “These are our people!”
Well sure. Look how well that worked with the Tea Party movement.
All the Republicans had to do was show up at some meetings and give some speeches, and the "Tea Party" became conflated with the GOP. That instantly made the group a hated target of about half the country and ensured that it couldn't actually bring together enough people to become a real political force. The Tea Party was originally a bigger threat to Republicans, so they neutralized it.
Now the Dems do the same with the OWS'ers. And you can easily see how well it's working if you read the posts here.
The two-party system isn't easy to shake. Guys on both sides have been protecting that turf for a long time. They have a lot of practice.
Right you are, blunderdog. OWS transcends party and goes to the heart of the problem: creeping totalitarianism under financial dictatorship.
Straight up solid and almost to the point.
THE ROOT OF OUR SOCIAL, ECONOMIC AND MILITARISTIC WOW'S IS AN EVIL MONETARY SYSTEM. EVERYTHING ELSE IS A SYMPTOM OR AN ACTION THAT SUPPORTS IT.

Failure to eliminate the root of the problem and implement a sovereign, honest monetary system may temporarily alleviate the pain but the disease will persist. This is step one in a total reaffirmation of the Constitution; taking power away from the 1/10 th of 1% and a returning it to the 99.9%. Step two: One Human, one vote.
Sure Wall Street waylayed, parlayed and filleted the financial sector, but what is the ultimate driver of these demos, this desperate collective sense of drowning? Debt slavery induced by the Rothschild banking model. David Rockefeller is too old to be crowned emporer, but he may live to realize his dream of a one-world monetary system.
Oh, actually, I think "rich" is lately defined as $250,00 AGI on the 1040.
//Democratic agenda of spend and bribe//
As opposed to the Republican party not spending and bribing?
1/2 way to cutting the deficit :)
Which half?
Oh, well the Republicans will quit spending so that's half. Then we get them to quit bribing everybody, that'll be the other half and them there'll be no fucking gubamint (:) :) :) :) :) :) :)) as long as the Democrats don't get back in because than we got to get them to quit both spending and bribing, so we just do our best without either of 'em. You know, kinda like Belgium.
(Ah hemmm Sound Gregory Peck made in that pirate movie)
(happy days are here again, everybody sing a song of cheer again, al la la la la la la agian.... or something like that?)
Kudos to Wynn; he is spot on target. Obama is nothing more than a fucking pimp for public sector unions and the growth of government. Daffy Duck could be a better POTUS.
I do agree, but labor contributions are small compared to many other big money interests in the political process (see opensecrets).
Also,
"American union membership in the private sector has in recent years fallen under 9% — levels not seen since 1932."

SO, let me get this straight. His casino didn't make the kind of profit he wanted to make, so he owns up to his fabulous leadership and business model by blaming it entirely on Obama? Or, is Wynn worried that the real casinos are losing the lure to the banking casinos, aka hedge funds and blaming Obama for being one of the enablers of that?
If anybody would know redistribution, it is the operators of casinos (include banks)! They are so dyslexic, the get the direction of real redistribution wrong.
What a fucking moron, this guy Wynn is!
Know any Wynn employee clamoring for a union? Just one?

Do not fall into the trap of depending on Corporate, Main Stream Media to tell you what the Occupy (OWS) movement is. Be forewarned:

It is up to you to look further into the situation. OWS may be the most important social movement in America's recent history. To save the Republic and perhaps yourselves, it is time to get on the right side of it. See:

Solyndra was a classic crony inside deal; a quid pro quo. It is no shock, given our captured electoral process, where the candidate with the most money wins 94% of the time. The new twist, is a classic IMF type maneuver that assured the elite private investors realize no losses. When it became apparent the company was going to fail the loan package was renegotiated moving private investors ahead of the public's loan guarantee, leaving the Taxpayer Holding The Bag. You see, as with the $1.2 Billion SunPower scam below, in the NWO Game of Debt Slavery Economics the House Always Wins and You Are The Mark.

Why do all the pictures of Steve Wynn look like bad photoshop jobs with an oversized head?
And where do deficits come from? Hmm...
Could it be that globalization left only $10/hour jobs for the coming generations, who will thus have less taxable income for the govt. yahoos to collect while the baby-boomers will still be expecting govt. services and standards that were a part of being a First World nation, not the Third World nation that we've become?

You are not needed.
What an asshole.
I know that nobody will see this or read it.
So who the fuck is this Mafiosa Cunt?
Steve Wynn.
"I'll give you an example of Las Vegas in my own industry."
What?
This Hero of Enterprise runs a Mafia Casion?
My bad.
So who are the cunt banks sucking his dick?
Steve's employees' standard of living is falling because: 1) Wynn must compete against thousands of new Indian tribal venues, state lotteries and offshore and online gambling sites (not to mention the NYSE); and 2) his workers must therefore price their services so he can still make a profit despite that competition. It has absolutely no frickin' connection to the "deficit", the carrying cost of which is less than it was five years ago when it was half its current size.
This is just a rich dude talking his book.
just to keep this from becoming a slow rant day i will add my own.
obama is lying murdering sack of shit who is not a naturally born us citizen but is still an indonesian citizen....he is a tool of the wall street banksters with his head so far up david rockefeller's ass that rockefeller looks like he has two dicks...

bet that guy didnt expect his wise ass question, would get that answer.......Wynning !
The Chinese chick from Goldman Sachs is boring a sack of rice. Oh wait, she is.
Edit: Vegas wouldn't be anywhere near the gambling mecca it became if it wasn't for a debt fuelled spending binge. That goes back much longer than 20 years. Reason he's not developing the property is because it doesn't make sense to build yet another casino or resort or golf course or whatever in Vegas.
Vegas is dead. Long term outlook for Vegas is shitty. The good days are gone.
So now Tyler's in bed with corporate casino slime ball STEVE WINN in the Obama hate fest... fucking pathetic!
Where do I go to get my ZH donations back?
I get the feeling that before the current monetary and economic crisis, many smart people were willing to go along with the socialist flow of big government. When times were good, and we were living above our means on deficit spending, it was hard to effectively criticize what was happening. Now with the benifit of hindsight, we can see the downside of profligate government growth. The graft, the corruption and the fraud, inherent in big government, have been exposed. It sounds like Steve has seen the light. Perhaps this crisis will start to crystallize a very needed change in perception as to the importance of governmental fiscal restraint and responsible monetary policy. I wish more leaders would speak out as he is doing. People need to hear this.
You are knew.
You have opinion?
What is this doing on ZH?
This Mafia Cunt just described how he fucks governments.
And the banks suck his cock?
left , right, democrat , republican. they are all culpable. hang all of the bastards.............fuck em.......

Wynn ruined Vegas. Ask anyone who lives there. Wynn and the other "CEO"s built using money they obtained through cheap loans from the banks to over build the place. They knew outright that gambling was being diluted across the US and the properties would lose money. Only the very high priced ones supporting the 1% are getting filled. I,E Wynn and Encore.
The real estate people and the banks sold properties to people who you wouldn't let in your house and Vegas as a neighborhood grew exponentially with no visible means of support. There are more empty new properties in Vegas than almost any other city The banks then bundled these subprimes mortgages and sold them to the AIGs.
You see your bailout paid for Wynn to build Encore cheaply and for Vegas property owners to sell off the land. The 99% guaranteed the investments. The banks got saved, the original property owners sold off land they never would have at a huge profit and the American public paid for it... yup Wynn benefited from socialism and not capitalism. What a hypocrite!
truth be told you nailed it.

Disgusting.
Bye Bye USA.
You backed the Mafia Casino.
You lost.
I'm Canadian, so I have no US political bias. I'm a capitalist, so I'm not a money hater. Here it goes:
If Steve Wynn is having a hard time turning basically free premium land in Las Vegas into something viable, what the hell does he think the average working American stiff has been going through for the last 15 years?
Steve is pissed because the shackles that bound ordinary citizens have finally turned on him and his buddies. Uncertainty = no opportunity to grow and prosper.
Welcome to the world Steve.

Dear ZH members, your being set up by a small group of people to destroy the US world currency status. In the past, I have posted BIS, UN, World Bank and IMF crack reports these very fucks write. I believe many of you are beginning to see the light of day. Your central planning fucksticks are forming a new society for you, whether you like it or not. The basis of this post is twofold.
1) Steve Wynn finally gets it. I still remember his new hotel interview on CNBS, his respect was earned that day.
2) Take the time to watch this video. It begins with a fictitious presentation of Obama. Next, it provides economical warnings and then goes into explaining the history of England being the world currency in earlier times. The renewed political mistakes are very evident and the redistribution of superpowers are quite apparent. Worth your time to watch, pass along to others at your will.
THE FOLLOWING IS A FICTIONAL DRAMATIZATION OF A PRESS CONFERENCE BY PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA, ADDRESSING THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, FROM THE EAST ROOM OF THE WHITE HOUSE.

Keep in mind, if they can disrupt Europe, England, Japan and China currency all at once.. your new global currency is a shoe in and so is your (already written) New Global Governance Plan.
3) Their key plan is to demobilize all financial systems at once claiming interdependence amongst one another, which completes full financial system failure.
You can stop this if you wish. :>)
Who benefits from this?
//which completes full financial system failure.//
Cannot tell you names, however you have been warned previously on ZH about people who will appear out of no where talking on national TV.
