(75 posts)24. Who needs a $38 million dollar house
It used to be the rich (like the old industry barons) used some of their money for the common good such as charities and foundations. Now the rich just simply want more money they don't need and will use the government to get them more money. Think of all the good that the Musk and uber rich could have done with their money rather than give it to Trump's campaign. At some point, can you not say I have enough money. Is not someone living in a $38 million dollar home at that point of having enough. Now he will grift the Navy contracts for even more money.
