every Saturday my procurer procures for me a fresh, nubile young man still flush with the optimism and energy of youth, just so I can watch the thirst for life flicker and die inside of him as he realizes the power of wealth is absolute and the virtue of hard work and social mobility is but a sweet lie the unfortunate use to rock themselves to sleep at night. then I consume his gonads and intestines to prolong my own parasitic existence.

originally I had to pay off or otherwise persuade their families into cooperation to avoid unpleasantness but in this enlightened age of permissive government my family lawyer can simply crush them between the cogs of the judicial system until the will to fight is wrung from them entirely

Hard work is the only solution to poverty, you dumb-dumbs.

My father, whom I address as Mr. Father, gave me a small loan of 2 million dollars upon completion of my schooling at Royal Fart Oaks Academy. I was 18 and, using that small loan of 2 million dollars, purchased a small home with a value of 1 million dollars.

I began working in Mr. Father's bootstrap factory that same year, as an assistant manager. Within 2 weeks I had proven myself capable and became floor manager. With a tidy salary of 300k a year. A pittance compared to Mr. Father, but a good way to learn the value of a dollar.

I work very hard, I'm on that factory floor at least an hour a week. Sometimes during our busy season I'll be there 3 or even 4 hours a week. And do I ask for overtime? No. I don't allow my employees to have overtime so why should I ask for the same?

So don't you DARE speak to me about how the wealthy have things handed to them.

If you invent the better bootstrap, the world will beat a path to your door.

You will create wealth and value in a place where before there was none.

Then the internet will accuse you off hoarding and wish you were in a guillotine.

My sons bf is from his baseball team, traveling team poo poo not high school team, his dad owns a billion dollar company that is in trucking. Another friend took him on several trips to Colorado and Switzerland to snowboard. It’s bizarre how they live. Kids seem normal and mine just shrugs and says dads rich, so what.

The Switzerland mofo took my kid to his first football game when I was out of town tho. It was in club press box poo poo so I can never live up again.

you don't, as the rich go *heavily* out of their way to avoid contact with poor people. poor people are a bummer generally and a reminder that their easy life is made possible by incalculable amounts of human misery specifically


watch the next time an employee or servant tries accidentally "humanizes" themselves to an owner with a personal anecdote about how their life is hard because money isn't just a magic trick for them. the owner's eyes will glaze over and you can see the psychological suppression reaction take over

it's amazing what percent of actual rich people this actually describes. it's all orthodontists and general contractors and commercial real estate people who make $400,000 a year but still live in Castle Rock, Colorado or some poo poo exurb so the only place they have to spend all that money is at Cheesecake Factory and the Escalade dealership and their wives all have $60,000 collections of pandora charms. and everybody else in their lovely exurb thinks they are gonna be like that some day if they keep pulling up their bootstraps. it's why trump won.
