Soak the Rich


I know some rich people. Mostly from Palm Beach, Millbrook, and Manhattan. Nobody in Europe dares announce their wealth in feat of the tax man. South Americans could give a shit. When they have money, they like to spend it, however during the current economic crisis no one wants to show their cash and this despite have flourished for 8 years under the GOP regime. Ostentatious spending has been declared off-limit and even the spendthrift Russians have realized that money makes you a target.

This is 2009.

The other night two rich friends of mine were held up at gun point.

A gun to his head as the thieves searched his apartment for the safe. They found it. Plus $90,000. I didn't ask why he had that much money in a safe. Someone else obviously already knew the answer. $$$ is safer in your safe than a bank.

We are entering a time that I never thought I would see again.

1975.

Broke.

All of America but this time is will be worst, so you rich people, when Obama requests more taxes, don't say nothing or else you could end up like the Russian aristocrats in 1919 and that was a tough year for the the rich in that war-torn country.

Give and give often.

I know the rich and they don't deserve the money.

Not unless they spend it more freely to have Cindy Crawford as a 'friend'.
