9. The very wealthy feel entitled.

If taxpayers are subsidizing the city bus, the very wealthy think the taxpayer should be subsidizing their private jet.

If the taxpayer funds food stamps, the very wealthy think the taxpayer should fund their meals at the country club.

If the taxpayer builds a basketball court in a poor neighborhood, the very wealthy think the taxpayer should build them a marina for their yachts.

If the taxpayer funds a short list of generic drugs, the very wealthy think the taxpayer should pay for their plastic surgeries.

It's only fair...
