... they would riot
That word you keep using ...hypothetical poor person said:"this is food, and it's free"
Good point. It's not like trappings of great wealth were some sort of secret before Chris Rock and Cenk Uygur enlightened us all.Wow, let's hope there are never any TV shows about the lifestyles of rich people or magazine articles saying how much money the top 400 people have and stuff.
Yeah... just work harder. I worked myself so hard last year, nearly to the breaking point. I came up approximately $1 million short of making $1 million. I can't imagine how hard millionaires like Rush Limbaugh work, especially on a program where he speaks about 20 to 23 minutes an hour... for three full hours.What is about poor people rioting as a way to express their displeasure with something? Especially in their own community. It's like me saying, "Dang... I didn't get that promotion. Think I'll go vandalize the kids' playground down the street". Wouldn't it be better and more productive if I just worked harder instead so maybe I'l get it next time? Or try to get a new job?
The joke's on them since caviar is kind of nasty anyway.I guess I could kinda see why the poor people would riot in a rich people's neighborhood because they're jealous that the rich people have nice cars and Xbox's and eat caviar and stuff, but it still seems wrong overall.

That's because he's on the top of his business (political talk radio) and has been for decades. Still, he doesn't even come close to people like Oprah. TV >> radio.I can't imagine how hard millionaires like Rush Limbaugh work, especially on a program where he speaks about 20 to 23 minutes an hour... for three full hours.
No. Most Americans don't work in a field that allows a Million dollar a year payoff, no matter how hard they work. From accountants to engineers to people manning the registers at stores to construction workers (who actually work real hard)... none of them really have a shot at a Million. They can get promoted, move up, even become VPs and still not see a million a year.Wrong like of work?
The claim made was that people should "work harder." I dispelled that garbage claim. Millions of Americans bust their asses and won't see a quarter of a million.That's because he's on the top of his business (political talk radio) and has been for decades.I can't imagine how hard millionaires like Rush Limbaugh work, especially on a program where he speaks about 20 to 23 minutes an hour... for three full hours.
Ssh! Don't tell the poor!The joke's on them since caviar is kind of nasty anyway.I guess I could kinda see why the poor people would riot in a rich people's neighborhood because they're jealous that the rich people have nice cars and Xbox's and eat caviar and stuff, but it still seems wrong overall.
Maybe Jimmy isn't a sociopath and that's why he didn't do the things you suggest.I worked myself so hard last year, nearly to the breaking point. I came up approximately $1 million short of making $1 million.
Why didn't you just speculate on oil price?
Or start a business that exploits a lot of workers or pollutes a river?
I mean, honestly, the easy ways to get rich are very well documented here. If you arent doing them you have no one to blame but yourself.
Today, I hate flying. The lines are long, no one is friendly and traveling outfits? what are they?

I remember my first flight as well. I wasn't 21 so I didn't get treats, but the seats were roomy. I described it as a living room that just happened to fly. It was an evening flight so dinner was served. I believe I had the fish (insert Airplane! joke here).
This year, as I have done in the past, I'm flying home for the holidays in 1st class. Not because I'm rich, but because I can afford a couple hundred extra bucks once a year.
The seats aren't quite as big as they were back in 1986, but the food is good, the special lines at the terminal are short, and though I am not rich, I get treated like I am. The people are nice and friendly. The thing is, being nice and friendly doesn't cost the airline anything extra. Is customer service now a luxury item? How much extra is that smile gonna cost?
You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Nexus again.Maybe Jimmy isn't a sociopath and that's why he didn't do the things you suggest.Why didn't you just speculate on oil price?
