Home Depot co-founder lashes out at Warren over jabs at rich: 'What the hell did she do' to earn her millions?
Home Depot co-founder Bernie Marcus blasted Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., over her attacks on wealthy Americans, which Warren continued in Thursday's PBS Democratic debate.
Marcus said Warren, who Forbes reported as having a net worth of around $12 million, likely didn't work up the corporate ladder the same way he did as the son of impoverished immigrants in Newark, N.J.
On "Your World," host Neil Cavuto asked Marcus – who co-founded the home improvement giant with current Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank, philanthropist Ken Langone and others – if Democrats' claims that capitalism has failed Americans are true.
"It's not only made me a wealthy person," Marcus said of capitalism, "We have over 400,000 people [employed] at Home Depot. I would estimate that we’ve had millions [of people] working for the Home Depot since 1979 when we started the company. How many millionaires have we created, forget about myself?"
……
"Elizabeth Warren said that you didn't do that – that there were a lot of people that made that possible – that it wasn't you, it wasn't Ken Langone, you didn't think of that."
Marcus responded by telling Cavuto that he worked 80-hour weeks during Home Depot's early days.
"The government didn’t help me, I must tell you. The government did everything they could to stop me from being successful," he said, turning his attention to Warren.
"You know, to hear this nonsense, look at her: How much money is she worth today and what the hell did she do to get that money?"
