All she is saying is that he got a wheel barrow full of money for his accident and now he doesn't want anyone else to be able to do the same thing! That is hypocritical and flat out wrong.

It goes to how he governs...I /we got ours and too bad for you because I'm changing the rules so you can't get/have any!
