EAT THE RICH
The following is a paragraph from a June 1 article by Christine Haugney in the New York Times.
“One of her clients recently confessed that his net worth had decreased to $8 million from more than $20 million, and he thinks that his wife will leave him. He has hidden their fall in fortune by taking on debt to pay for her extravagant clothes and vacations.”
Eight million bucks and he’s worried his wife might leave him…
Hell, if I had $8 million I bet I could get me a bunch of wives. In fact I could get a bunch of wives who’d be perfectly content that I had another bunch of non-wives.
I know gas is going through the roof and a loaf of bread needs a co-signer, but I’m guessing folks with $8 million haven’t stepped inside a grocery store for years, and the closest they’ve been a gas station is when they were signing the contracts to buy a chain of them.
So when did $8 million become the threshold for “hard times?”
These are hard working folks that President Bevis (or is that Butthead) wants to give permanent tax breaks to.
Then again, considering all that putative Nazi and Saudi cash the Bush family has tucked away, you can’t imagine Laura is sticking around for the snappy patter.
