> I have no idea whether Dinesh D'Souza has made millions, but he probably has. This is hardly unusual for immigrants in this country, especially Indians, who rank No. 1 by family income in America among all ethnic groups. Even one of our prominent lefty Goanetters from America, who shall remain nameless, drives a Mercedes Benz, and is probably a millionaire. > However, I am amazed by the persistent efforts by some non-American Goans, who are obviously unfamiliar with American institutions, to denigrate a fellow Goan and cast aspersions on his achievements, which have earned him a place at the highest levels of American intelligentsia. In the meantime these same people have not mentioned even one specific issue where they disagree with Dinesh, which reasonable people can debate or agree to disagree. > In America, superlative achievements are almost always rewarded by financial success. Dinesh D'Souza works at one of the most prestigious think tanks in the US, the Hoover Institute, which is part of one of the top universities in the world, Stanford. He has written many highly acclaimed and successful books and articles and is in demand as a speaker paid well over $10,000 per speech. > Those who want to achieve what Dinesh has achieved, don't do what Goan politicians are alleged to do, don't go to some socialist Utopia where everyone is encouraged to be satisfied with the least common denominator. Come to America and try to do what Dinesh has actually done. Even if you don't come close to his achievements, I guaranty you will do pretty well by any standards.
