German Billionaire Investor Kills Self Over Financial Crisis

Hey - here' something the left can cheer about - a rich man who created 100,000 jobs killed himself!

Adolf Merckle, one of Germany’s wealthiest men, committed suicide after weeks of talks with creditors designed to save his businesses from being consumed by disastrous investments and the global financial crisis.

The billionaire, 74, was said by his family to have been “broken” by the sight of his business empire, which ranged from pharmaceuticals to cement, crumbling. He died on Monday evening, apparently hit by a train a few hundred metres from his home in southern Germany.

Serves that stinking capitalist pig right for thinking he had the right to make money.

VIVA LA REVOLUTION!
