“All too many people get involved are doing it because they’re saying there’s something in it for numero uno. But there are lots of people who are in it for the right reasons. And if you had to pick someone who symbolizes that it would be Arthur Schwartz,” Schumer said in 2003. “Whenever anyone calls on Arthur to do something good, he’s there and he doesn’t ask what’s in it for him and he doesn’t ask how much money there is. He just does it.”

  1. Yep, just like so many “people’s champions”.
    Say,that 20 million doesn’t put him up there in the one percent,does it?

  2. “that 20 million doesn’t put him up there in the one percent,does it?”
    Buying for $1/2 million and selling for $21 mil puts him in the nose bleed seats.
    Funny thing, if your name is Black you go to jail but if it’s Schwartz(German) you don’t.

  3. I must point out that his house (or the proceeds) are probably not his only assets….His law firm is not a non-profit……
    This probably added to his net worth but he was probably already a multi-millionaire.

    Don……That’s the power of the Swartz………according to Mel Brooks.

  4. The stupid “O” word would have made sure a few of his friends we’re taken care of after the election, if not for his own future endeavours.

  5. Helping the poor stay downtrodden and .. well poor, sure pays good.
    Classic progressive do-gooder, he done real good and helped no one out of poverty, except himself, all his clients are of course still poor, on welfare, unhappy and blaming the republicans.
    A tax on all do-gooder is essential to protect civilization.
    150% of their gross is good with me.
