28. 6 Things Rich People Need to Stop Saying

http://www.cracked.com/blog/6-things-rich-people-need-to-stop-saying/

All of a sudden, it's like you can't make huge amounts of money without people getting all pissed off about it. And it's only going to get worse -- with the election coming up and the weather getting warmer, this whole "Occupy" movement is probably going to come back strong. The 1 percent will feel even more besieged than before.

"What the hell?" you're probably thinking, if you're somehow both rich and reading an article with this title, "I didn't crash the economy!" You might even be tempted to take to a microphone, to defend yourself and your wealthy friends. But before you do, I want you to stop and ask yourself, "Will this make me sound like an out-of-touch douchebag?"

#6. "Well, $500,000 a Year Might Sound Like a Lot, but I'm Hardly Rich."

#5. "Hey, I Worked Hard to Get What I Have!"

#4. "If I Can Do It, So Can You!"

#3. "You're Just Jealous Because I Made It and You Didn't!"

#2. "You Shouldn't Be Punishing the Very People Who Make This Country Work!"

#1. "Stop Asking for Handouts! I Never Got Help from Anybody!"
