really...is that article some kind of a joke? is Rand still alive and a reporter for yahoo? I really, really REALLY hope it's subtle sarcasm...

he makes $350,000 a year, by anybody other than the UBER rich's standards hes LOADED. I mean "couldn't fly to New Orleans for a wet tee shirt contest"? Boo F-ing hoo...some people have to choose between eating or staying warm, and this man sobs cuz he can't go on some luxury horndog south tour? If this was an article about some poor family who bought a cruise or a vacation and couldn't pay for it people would be calling them stupid, or say things like "well everybody has to make cuts". But were supposed to take the oppositte stand when some rich jerk can't spend more than many people's yearly incomes on his dogs? Where was their brain? 21 year old linda in the mail room had to take a pay cut to ohh lets say 20,000 a year instead of 25, or the guy who works in janitorial had to do the same...and they honestly they can just plan on being scott free? NOPE. Stupid rich people who whine when they need to cut back on their play money.

The rich are so disconnected with the plight of the poor or middle class that they almost sound like a badly written joke
