5. They will make a public display about the wonderful things
they are doing, but they will continue to do what they have done of late.

There was a story about how many luxury purchases have been done in the past five years and the percentage has gone through the roof. With the tax cuts, they are able to buy another plane or yacht or a couple of Rolls Royces.

The part the really distresses me is the amount of vulgar displys there are in this community. I saw a television the other day offered for 1 million dollars because it was diamond encrusted. I also saw diamond encrusted wheels for a Bentley. It is this kind of display that is new for the very wealthy, I think. They used to not be quite so frivolous and vulgar with expenses - big houses. luxury cars and boats were the order of the day; but this disgusting display of consumerism is over the top.
