>> There can never be enough super-rich Americans to power a great economy. I earn about 1,000 times the median American annually, but I don’t buy thousands of times more stuff. My family purchased three cars over the past few years, not 3,000. I buy a few pairs of pants and a few shirts a year, just like most American men. I bought two pairs of the fancy wool pants I am wearing as I write, what my partner Mike calls my “manager pants.” I guess I could have bought 1,000 pairs. But why would I? Instead, I sock my extra money away in savings, where it doesn’t do the country much good.<<

LOL!! Hey, but earlier he said....

........ And also like you, I have been rewarded obscenely for my success, with a life that the other 99.99 percent of Americans can’t even imagine. Multiple homes, my own plane, etc., etc.

Amazon did somewhat better. Now I own a very large yacht.......

So that's three cars, a few pair of pants and a few shirts, Multiple Homes, a Plane, and a large Yacht. Doesn't like he spends money just like the pitch-fork cry babies.

When the "pitch forks come" the wealthy will just sail out of the harbor in their "Large Yachts" and take all their investment income with them. Set anchor in Singapore, or Dubai while the Pitch-Fork Cry Babies whine.. The masses will stand on the piers demanding their Yachts too!!

He explains something that what divides the pitch-fork wielding masses and the large yacht owners.

He SAVES a disproportionate amount of his earnings. This is WHY HE IS WEALTHY!! If he spent all his money, in the name of "helping the country", then he would no longer be WEALTHY. He would become a pitch-fork carrying member of the Democratic Party.

The Liberals want everyone to spend every nickel they make and every nickel they can borrow, leaving people trapped in poverty for eternity. The Conservatives SAVE THIER MONEY, and therefore on their way to building wealth and the purchase of that large yacht.

After the Liberals spend all their money, they turn to the Conservatives and demand a redistribution of the wealth the Conservatives SAVED because the Liberals Blew All their money on trinkets that end up in a Yard Sale in a year of two.
