8. It's like the story I heard many years back

about Lee Majors (I think it was him... 6 million dollar man)... getting royally p'o'd because he'd been cited for using more than the allotted amount of water during a dire water shortage, and because he was endlessly watering his lawn. His words were basically, I made the money... it's my house and my yard... as long as I pay for it, screw it. It's mine.

I DETEST the entitlement of these rich people to use resources as tho they are the only ones on earth that need or want them. $110 million could buy a lot of small homes for the homeless people in the streets right now... and they could buy a heck of a lot of meals for people who have no idea where their next meal is coming from. Not to mention, paying down medical debt for those who are under water with our great healthcare system.

With these people, it's always "me, me, me"... it's never "us"... unless they're looking to take something away from us!
