(131 posts)Being retired military, I've always been amused by the fact that I could have made a lot more money pretending to do the things that I had to do during my career than I made by really doing them. I should have been an actor. But I digress.
I'm not bothered in the least by Beyonce buying a fancy house. She has talent, she used it to her best advantage, just as anyone would have done if the opportunity presented itself, and she has reaped the rewards. That's fine.
The rich people who bother me are the ones who use their money to afflict the rest of us with their wrongheaded ideas and and to deny us a voice in the national political process.
I find it sort of weird that of the long list of rich people out there, Beyonce, being a woman and a person of color, was singled out for criticism. Surely, there's a huge supply of candidates more worthy of ire?
