I made $8k last year, man. He spent more than that on his freaking dog.

[alway]

Scheiner said he spends about $500 a month to park one of his two Audis in a garage and at least $7,500 a year each for memberships at the Trump National Golf Club in Westchester and a gun club in upstate New York. A labradoodle named Zelda and a rescued bichon frise, Duke, cost $17,000 a year, including food, health care, boarding and a daily dog-walker who charges $17 each per outing, he said.
‘Crushing Setback’
Still, he sold two motorcycles he didn’t use and called his Porsche 911 Carrera 4S Cabriolet “the Volkswagen of supercars.”

Oh that pooooor man, what ever will he do to get by? ಠ_ಠ

[Lysabild]

He should put a donate button up, I'd give him a dollar, just for the lulz.

If I can afford a dollar from my bottom of the society here in Denmark, maybe he could afford the same percentage of his income to help other people instead of spending it on expanding his already big home.

Well, for starters, he could start walking his own dogs. Easy $6000 right there. Probably cancel the club memberships, too, or at least one of them. They're important to him, I'm sure, but hey, a luxury is a luxury.

Oh, wait. Probably that was a sarcastic question. >_______>

Wall Street headhunter Daniel Arbeeny said his “income has gone down tremendously.” On a recent Sunday, he drove to Fairway Market in the Red Hook section of Brooklyn to buy discounted salmon for $5.99 a pound.

He had to shop for discount salmon. DISCOUNT!
What is our society coming to, when people who provide the critical service of coaxing people to leave their job for another job have to eat the same kind of fish that the common gutter trash do? He had to drive to Red Hook....RED HOOK! You know who else lived in Red Hook? Hitler. Al Capone. Picture this poor guy having to fend off mafia hoodlums as he bravely foraged through a Fairway to find meat to put on his gold-plated dinner table.


Actually....shit, $5.99 for salmon is pretty damn good. Lucky bastard.

Budgeting is only for poor people so that the rich might laugh and point to their lack of budgeting (i.e. eating every day) as proof that they deserve to be poor. The correct answer to Mr. Scheiner's problems is either lower taxes or use existing loopholes.

Lots and lots of Yazidis?

Yeah, there's really one suitable response to all this, IMHO:

Oh that's just brilliant raeghe.

[RedKing]

It is indeed the front of the New York Stock Exchange.

I'm really enjoying reading ya'lls responses to that article.
When I was reading it I kept thinking, "Wait what?"
It's hard to believe that they seriously think they are being inconvenienced.

There's one part that says that these financial types don't bother to save any money.  I was like     

[Leafsnail]

You sure that article isn't carefully crafted to inspire revolutionary rage in the populus?  Because it's certainly working on me.

On the other end of the spectrum, we have this lovely tidbit in a piece on the NC GOP trying to limit enrollment in public pre-K programs:

The hearing prompted comments from Rep. George Cleveland, R-Onslow, challenging U.S. Census Bureau statistics that show a growing number of North Carolina children live in poverty.

"We have no one in the state of North Carolina living in extreme poverty," Cleveland said, defining the condition as living on $1.50 a day. "Over the years, they keep redefining poverty to make sure we have a poverty class. I have a problem when we say we have an increasing number of children living in extreme poverty. It’s a government agency perpetuating what they want as a poverty level."

So....$2 a day wouldn't be poor to this colossal bag of dicks representative. I'm so glad to know I've never been poor. Hell, most of those starving kids in Africa aren't even poor! It's all just a bunch of liberal fooferall.

[Squanto]

Streamlined IE9 yeah right.

I have to go through the Slowest menus on the crappiest tiny box of my favorites to get to any webistes that I favotited (My favorites bar is full), tabs are in the wrong spot, I CANT UNINSTALL IT, IT WON'T LET ME, I cant move something from favorites bar to favorites box but still keep it on the bar, no more corner search bar (I actually liked that alot), and it just sucks in general.  ALl this for not paying attention to which updates were checked

EDIT: ANd, I cant mousewheel click to open links in new tabs from favorites.  That was the most annoying part of it too.
