Let me tell you about the very rich.

What a bunch of leftest crackpot crap.

People can do whatever they want with their money.

It's not yours.

Keep your sticky fingers off of other peoples money.

 

the rich are like anyone else, some are deadbeats, some are not....

 

Just a quick "true" story from my days when I lived in South Florida back in the late 90's....

The type of work I did back then was mostly NDT (Non Destructive Testing) work and it put me in a lot of situations where I had to either use an Iridium 192 source to X-Ray concrete slabs looking to avoid "post tension" cables so plumbers could cut holes in floors or doing hull inspections of huge yachts & other vessels using either Radiography, Ultrasonics or Eddy Current.

Doing this type of work put me anywhere from million dollar penthouses, to tens of million dollar homes, to yachts as big as NY......you get the picture.

I have a million what I like to call "Super disgustingly rich people's story's" but I'll only share one so you can get an idea of how much money they truly waste on frivolous things while they store millions in off-shore accounts in order not to pay their fare share of taxes.

Story #1: A guy down at Ft. Lauderdale Marina has his 65" yacht up out of the water because he had the rear saloon extended by roughly ten feet. The ship yard literally cut the rear saloon at the mid-way point - welded in new sheets of aluminum, reinforce everything below with new beams, and extended everything by about ten feet. (you can imagine how much work had to be done)

We were brought in to X-Ray the welds to make sure they were sound with no voids. The owner was there over seeing everything, and he was actually a really nice guy and he invited us on a tour of his vessel when we were done.

I pulled him aside and asked him why he extended the vessel and he looked me straight in the eye - pointed to a similar ship in the yard, and told me how that ship was just purchased by his neighbor on "Millionaire's Row" (if you know Ft Lauderdale you know what I'm talking about)

He went on to say that his neighbors ship had a larger saloon area than his, and he just couldn't have that...........

I explained to him that all of the work he commissioned probably cost few a few million just to extend the saloon, and he corrected me and told me that it was much more than that, but that he didn't care about the cost.

We gave the welding company their results, thanked everyone for being so cooperative and left...............that chit stayed with me for months...

That's just "one" of "hundreds" of other stories ether just like that or worst in terms of money being spent like water.

So whenever I hear people complaining or defending the ubber rich's right to hide money or not pay their fare share of taxes, I always laugh privately to myself, and I call them idiots under my breath because these people truly have no idea just how screwed they're getting on a daily basis.

Here's a 65 foot yacht without any extensions.........seems like enough room to me left alone.

 

No they're not like everyone else. Because you can (maybe) point out an exception or two doesn't change this fact.

 

yes, they are like everyone else, they are just richer.... did you think rich people were super human or something?

just cause someone is rich doesn't mean they are better then everyone else

.

 

I never said they were better. They are different though. They conduct their lives differently.

We're not going to get anywhere with this discussion....the liberal in you won't allow you to believe that any of their success could ever be anything other than dumb luck and because of that, you'll continue to argue that they are just like the average joe, despite ALL the evidence pointing to the contrary.

 

I said rich people are like everyone else, you were the one that said they were not
