Nobody Wants to Admit They're Rich
Yglesias HERE points out how wealthy people don't consider themselves wealthy. I know they're aware there's always gonna be someone with MORE $crillah, but I wonder if they really consider themselves to be not wealthy or simply have a hard time admitting it out loud, since as I wrote here, for some reason it's very important for everyone to portray themselves as scrappy underdogs. Of course, if you've gotta have a problem in your life, I'd say having difficulty admitting you're rich as hell is a pretty good one to have, like being addicted to sex.

With 47% owing no federal taxes due to tax credits or too low and income, one would wonder who bears the burden of tax in this country. The wealthy. Bing! Thank them? Nah, let's just criticize their ambition and success.
Who bears the burden of paying off these STIMULUS packages which amount to jackcrap and a a growing deficit. The wealthy, of which are yet to be born. Let's hope they are ready and willing to take crap for having to carry the rest of these blood suckers. Better to hope for a government who recognizes that they produce NOTHING and can only TAKE...and redistribute or REWARD those who are PRODUCING.
Health, wealth and happiness to you! And don't let anyone make you feel guilty about it!
