So sick of inspirational posts from rich celebrities. As if any of this is going to affect them in any meaningful way aside from shifting more of the tax burden onto us.
This particular celebrity spent time in a concentration camp, though. Let him speak truth to power.
If I recall correctly, he was put in a Japanese-American detention camp when a child. So I’d tend to believe him on this.
I know what he experienced, but he's insulated from whatever happens in the next few years, by virtue of being wealthy.
Okay? Do you disagree with him, or are you just whining?
I'm whining.
The rich in this country have nothing to bitch about. The entire government and social apparatus exists to support and promote their existence, and they band together every single election to make sure the poor and middle class don't become a part of it.
So yeah, I'll whine when one of them pretends to be on our side. Yes.
It's easier to start a fire with a lighter than with two sticks.
