You owe me so much I no longer need you.

[gulliver]

I'm rich because I have numbers in some accounts. The numbers show clearly that I own a lot and some people somewhere owe me a lot.

I can afford to be much more of a jerk than I was before I became rich. Frankly, the richer I have become, the snottier I am. Who needs people? Some people somewhere owe me so much, I no longer need to be nice to any people anywhere.

Bottom line, everything is basically great with the world. Everyone owns everything, and everyone owes each other so much money that everyone is rich. Pretty soon, we can all retire. And everyone can afford to be snotty to everyone else.

1. I'm practicing real hard

In case I ever get rich, I'll have snotty down to a science! Come onnnnn lottery!

2. I've always wanted to be a Diva n/t

3. Sometimes, I have to wonder whether that is precisely how they think.

:shrug:

"We are ALL owners, now, and that is a GOOD thing."

Obviously, they flunked civics and democracy 101. Ethics/morality was never in their edu-MY-cation.

4. I have to add a thought: what if being greedy and anti-democratic had a minimum sentence of 20 years

What if the greediest power-mongers were faced with the same prison sentence a small-time marijuana distributor faced? Would that change their behavior?
