I see your point now. That makes sense.

P.S. On a separate note, should we start a conspiracy theory about MI5 luring all of the super-rich elite into one spot with an intention of dealing with the global inequality issue efficiently and quickly when the time is right?

I do believe he has to also pay the hefty 48% federal non-resident surtax as well.

Might as well get A$$HOLE tattooed on your forehead if you are going to drive something like that. You obviously are one, and you want everyone to know it, so it's the sensible thing to do.

Most people would say that just for one having the audacity to drive an exotic car to begin with, which I object to.

Maybe, but when you cover it in gold, it's without doubt.

Well...some exotic cars have some class...come on man those? Those are tacky.

That basically says: "not only can I afford these I can also afford to ruin them."

I actually think the Lambo looks pretty sweet, especially compared to its usual paint job of neon orange. And I don't even like those types of super cars.

But I still know the driver is a dbag without saying a single word or even seeing their face.

You can see their faces in the picture. Probably dbags.

You have probably covered this, but I'm quite surprised taxes could be less in the UK?

Didn't the Stones flee to a tax haven?

Taxes in the UK in the sixties were around 95 percent on the top tax bracket, it has come down since then.

Finance Minister Joe Ceci said the NDP government is not concerned about Murray Edwards’ departure from Alberta and doesn’t think other high-income earners will follow the energy tycoon’s path out of the province.

Did he actually say that?

Oh Joe...poor, poor Joe...

Economy in the tank, no concern.
Huge deficit, no concern.
Losing two by elections, no concern.
Wealthy people leaving the province, no concern.
Popularity drops in poll, no concern.

Knightsbridge gold supercars given parking tickets

Three gold supercars parked in London's Knightsbridge have been given parking tickets.
The Lamborghini Aventador, Mercedes G63 6x6 and Bentley Flying Spur, were parked with a gold Rolls Royce in Cadogan Place and Lowndes Street near the Jumeirah Carlton Tower Hotel.
There are two separate £80 penalty charge notices on the Lamborghini, and one each on the Mercedes and Bentley.

Those £80 parking tickets are sure going to teach him a lesson!

[OMG!WTF!]

I wonder if he is the guy that paid a nominal sum of 14.7 million pounds for the vanity plate "1" in 2008. Also big props to Baghdad Joe. So glad no other rich people are leaving.
