Casual Observation

You’d think that rich people, particularly those who were born into their riches, would look around at their riches and think to themselves that life would kind of be hard without all their riches.

You would be wrong.

What they actually think is that it would be totally easy to have no money because they’d just get fat on free government cheese.

We can eat cake. But how about they spend a weekend on the street with no cell phone, credit cards, or cash of any kind?

You know, how about they test out their theory that everyone is on Easy Street?
