‘Nobody Works. Nobody Gives A Damn’: Home Depot Co-Founder Says Socialism Killed Americans’ Work Ethic
Home Depot co-founder Bernie Marcus argued Thursday that “socialism” is to blame for America’s waning work ethic.In an interview with the Financial Times, Marcus criticized the ideology, arguing that it makes people lazy. “Nobody works. Nobody gives a damn. ‘Just give it to me. Send me money. I don’t want to work — I’m too lazy, I’m too fat, I’m too stupid,'” he told the outlet.
The 93-year-old billionaire called capitalism the “basis” of Home Depot’s success, stating that the company’s fortunes have rippled across to manufacturers, vendors, distributors and workers. “That’s the success. That’s why capitalism works,” he added.
