Last year Republicans blasted a firehose of hatred + vitriol my way because I treated myself to a $250 cut & lowlights on my birthday.

Millions of people would be saying, "Hey, I paid more income tax than he did. And I know that if I lost money, I wouldn't be able to afford a lavish lifestyle. Something is very wrong here."
