1. Brilliant work.

I remember how I agreed with most of what Ross Perot had to say and then I thought about how different we are. How can a man with more money than everyone I ever met combined times 100 relate to a man like me?

I love a good dressage competition as much as any other man who makes minimum wage.

2. The worst thing about

being filthy rich in American hasn't been paying taxes or having to bribe politicians or even not owning everything. It's been feeling obliged to give lip service to egalitarian and democratic ideals (at least in public) while keeping ones true contempt for the lower orders pent up inside. But no more.

3. So what makes the uber wealthy so obnoxious, cruel and nasty?

They have everything they will ever want. No need or desire goes unfulfilled. Why do they think they have to take away what little we do have? What satisfaction do they gain by making the average guy suffer? Why do they then rub it in our faces how we are not as rich and powerful as they are? Why are they such douche bags?

I don't get it.
