I've always said that if you win the short money <$4Million lottery your life will be hell because every one you know will think that you're fuckin rich but your not. The 4 turns into around 2.4 after taxes which will give you about 125K pretax income for that year if invested in a typical relatively safe investment. So $85k or so a year net. Not rich but just fine, and you still have to worry about your investments doing reasonably well over time. Now what in the fuck could be more fun than a room full of hot whores drugged up and cramming their cunts into King Howey's face than if you win 60 and can give half of it away to family and friends and still know pretty much no that no matter what that you're set for fuckin life? I think that with the uber rich it's just a contest to see who can get the most to prove that they're better than the other uber rich fuck. It's an ego thing. Why? I have no idea? I believe it's just a game to them at that point. Hell I'd just sip vodka on the beach and get blow jobs all day but I guess I'm a slacker. I respect the Bill Gates and Warren Buffets of the world who realize that they have everything they possibly need or want and that they can't take it with them so that they just might help the world by using a good part of their wealth to improve life on the planet. What do Carter and Clinton have in common? They spend their retirement days trying to help people. What do the Bush's do? Fuck if I know?
That's what it is... it's the Gordon Gecko Game and they're all playing to top one another because after so many 100's of millions.. what else is there to do?
and you know what.. more power to them. Where would we be without that to dream of when we're laying in bed and can't sleep at night because the power is going to be turned off tomorrow.. the money is not the problem.. it's the fucking 'greed' that distorts them that is.. You mentioned Gates and Buffet, they have BILLIONS! and BILLIONS and dozens more BILLIONS.. and I have no doubt in my mind they have been as dirty and cut throat and 'greedy' as the rest.. but they don't shit on those below them for the pure joy of it.. They don't..(to quote Chuck)
"wanna be feudal lord, pretending the bread he eats and the luxury he enjoys comes with sovereignty over those with less, usurping even their thoughts."
it's
that that makes them the fucking assholes... and since they're already so fucking warped about their 'money' they automatically think that's what we're pissed at or jealous of..
no, it's that you're mr. fucking Burns about it, you fuck!
