PA budget

[glatt]

I think of super rich. People who are so rich, you have no idea. They didn't "work" for their money. Their money worked for them. Look at the chart at this wikipedia link.
I'll put it in a low quality jpg below.

Most of us are on that little green line way down near the bottom. Flint is talking about the "rich" guy on the red line a bit higher up. Here on the Cellar, that guy is Merc. Holds a few jobs and has a lot of toys. Way above that are all the people on the blue line who are so fucking high up there, you can't even see them. They look down at us ants walking around and they think we really are ants. They respect us as much. They don't pay taxes. They own the politicians. They run the world. You talk about class warfare like it's a bad thing. These guys know nothing but class warfare and they are so good at it they have all of us lines down here at the bottom fighting each other over table scraps, and we don't even realize they are up there.

Be that as it may, I'll be goddamned if Spex and his ilk are going to give away MY table scraps.

Oh, they're table scraps now? I thought it was

working two jobs to support his family, but instead opted to cut some expenses and find a way to go to night school to get a degree, get a better job, and maybe, through years of applying good work ethic, save up enough money to make a few investments beyond college and retirement savings, and aquire some wealth. Nobody handed him that wealth, he fought for it tooth and nail. Maybe he looks now to the financial security of the future generations of his family.

Which is it?
