You people lost me a long time ago. I can't imagine any honest person having the kind of money so blithely discuss. Everyone in that league I ever met was a greed scamming thief, liar, cheat or money monger. A racist bigot or a blood sucking deviant living off of other peoples hard earned money. Every time I ever go a bit of wealth someone cheated me out of it. They stole my investments, my 401, my pension or taxed me out of my home and assets. Up north, down south. Didn't matter where. So I'm not sympathetic to whining about depleted stock portfolios or having to get a smaller pool or a 'cheap' thermal scope that cost's more that the car I can't afford to buy my daughter who can't get a scholarship because she isn't among the favored ones. I shamefully hope sometimes that such people gets screwed by the unmentionably favored or richly endowed lawyers. And then forced to live where the special folks dogs will attack them on their side of the street when you try to take a morning neighborhood walk.
What shames me the most is how many times I tried to be and wanted to be a liar and a cheat and a thief and a cold hearted shallow minded bigot because that's how I saw the people around me got wealthy. Still, and even after all these years, and even here in Texas, I still just don't see or imagine how it can be otherwise. And if there was a way no one bothered to share their secret. They just lifted their resculpted nose and sniffed. JMHO YMMV...
