House of Cards, I agree, when the bottom fell out last time houses in one neighborhood went from 80k to 25k, now selling at over 100k, we couldn’t get money to take advantage of that. The whole economy suffers together except for the richest who increased their net worth.
I love those rich people they're going to pay me $2,000 to install a carpet runner on a set of stairs.
..... Then 2 years later, pay me $1,600 to do four stairs and fabticate four custom made stair rods.
That same horrible rich person donated close to $400,000 to buy a building for the boys and girls club in town to use as a dance studio. She caught wind at the dance studio was being moved because of new school was being constructed. They use the school as a dance studio. Now they had nowhere to go. She heard they found a new place to rent but this place was soon going to be sold.
She lives 3/4 of a mile away. She drove down and wrote a check and bought the building for them.
All we hear about is the rich people and their yachts and their second and third and fourth homes. We never hear the good things they do with their money because a lot of people like to be silent about that.
Rush Limbaugh did that. He donated money with the promise that they wouldn't mention his name.
I have yet to understand the hatred of rich people. I make my living, they make theirs.
If a filthy rich person by the second home or a third home and buys a yacht and a jet..... Their employing people that are paid very good wages. If they don't build a home if they don't buy the yacht if they don't buy the plane, how is that good for employment and how is that good for the economy? I love rich people. The filthier the better.
Look what Tesla's done to assist NASA. Look what he's done for people that are thrilled with the Green technology in electric cars.
Look at what Branson has done. Bezos is about to employ a crap load of people to build himself a 5 million billion dollar yacht. Look at all those jobs he is creating.
Had all these rich people sat on their butts and gave all of their wealth every year back to their employees, you'd have people's average wage change from 28,000 a year to $32,000 a year.
Now who's going to form a company that builds electric cars?
Who's going to be employed building multi-million dollar yachts?
They certainly won't be building their second third or fourth homes, so that reduces employment in our line of work.
Rich people are horrible horrible people.
......not!
