A Wealthy Man's Burden

What to do, when you're only fifteen hundred times* as personally wealthy as the average peon American currently owing undying fealty to your wealthy reign, instead of being sixteen hundred times as wealthy as the common man like your opponent is. Such a problem for a wealthy individual who's also an unelectable miserable failure. It's as if he thinks that because he's obscenely wealthy, he should have his own wealthy rules that let his wealthy @$$ get away with anything and everything. And then, the obscenely wealthy PigBoy , and the obscenely wealthy media whores on Faux News, and the obscenely wealthy media whores at CNN, and the obscenely wealthy media whores at the New York Post (who can't tell who the Democrats are going to be running as Veep in November...), and the obscenely wealthy media whores over at Scaife Smears Inc., and the rest of the obscenely wealthy who mindlessly support more for themselves at the expense of the rest of us, all sit around and talk to us about how obscenely wealthy the Chimperor's opponent is, instead of talking about how the obscenely wealthy Torturer in Chief is becoming even more obscenely wealthy by stealing wasting taxpayer money on George's Excellent Middle Eastern Adventure.

It's all a frustrating mess for those of us who aren't quite as obscenely wealthy as Smirky McWarHardon.

* - No, we don't know if pRezNit Takes Hostages is actually 1500 times as wealthy as the average American. We're pretty sure it's a multiple in the hundreds, if not thousands. The point I was trying to make was that both of the candidates are wealthy compared to the regular person. So it would be really hypocritical if someone who was wealthy (especially if they were obscenely wealthy compared to the rest of us), or his handlers, were to say things about how wealthy their opponent is, without mentioning how wealthy they themselves are.
