^ See, DownInFlames, perfect example, if I was rich, then I could be all like "Oh yeah? Eat this" and then pull an X-Pac circa 1998.

Spoiler!

Swordfish existing solely so we could see Halle Berry's tits will always be hilarious.

The great thing about hating on the rich is it’s a sentiment everyone gets to enjoy. To someone working at a license registry, it means hating on the people who dine at Model Milk. To the average person dining at Model Milk, it means hating people who drive Land Rovers and own vacation property on Vancouver Island. To people who drive Land Rovers and own vacation property on Vancouver Island, it means hating on Jeff Bezos.

Torque and Corsi are two different people.

I was going to start asking when the hell I got vacation property on Vancouver Island.

Also, there is WAY more daylight between some weird TorqueDog/Corsi combo person and Jeff Bezos. I mean, ANY of the Kardashians for starters are a far more suitable target for someone to hate, although we can go even lower than that on the net worth scale. There have got to be some annoying D-list celebrities that somehow have a good amount of money for no justifiable reason. How about Grant Cardone? My Instagram feed has started showing ads for this clown and I want to drown him in a lake.

I can see how it would be confusing given that the misconception is that one should be bankrupt as a result of owning pre-owned Land Rover products and therefore since I'm not bankrupt I must be rich, but I'm just a savvy vehicle buyer who maintains their vehicles and has the technical background to know how buy something from that brand that isn't going to blow up.

If I ever get to 'fuсk you'-money, you'll know, because I am going to have a field day on LinkedIn.

If I needed to do to get rich was to show my genitals, I would've.

This isn’t information you need to share with the group.

Rogers people are just like Jehova’s Witnesses. If I needed your service I know how to find you. You don’t need to come to my door like it’s 1935.

Who’s Jehova anyway, and what was so special that they witnessed him doing that they need to interrupt everyone’s evening?

That was the Telus door-to-door people a few years back. Even had one win me over before Shaw was like "We'll save you another $50 a month if you tell Telus to piss off".

OMG I need to update. They've returned for the third time today. Rogers, not the JWs.

Let’s define rich.

I don’t think I want a billion dollars.

I think anything say more than about 20 million I think I’d be happier with less. Perhaps I lack imagination but I don’t think I could spend 50k a month on a continuous basis.

So for me saying anyone over say 100 million in wealth should be taxed out of existence seem fairly reasonable.

Do you think the hate on rich people has gotten worse over time or about the same it’s always been?

It peaked when they executed Louis XVI.

Buy a boat. You can not comprehend how expensive it is to keep a million dollar boat in usable form, so a 5 million dollar one should easily eat away at it and you wouldn't know where it all went.
