I keep seeing this. People with enormous sums of money somehow believe they are suffering. They are. Their egos may explode and kill them.

From Crooks and Liars –
At a town hall earlier this week in Montana, Rep. Denny Rehberg (R-MT) began comparing the plight of every day middle class Americans like those at his town hall with his own economic circumstance. He droned on about how he’s ‘struggling’ as a small businessman. A constituent asked him what his own net worth is and he said he’s “land rich and cash poor”:
REHBERG: I’m a small businessman. My wife is a small businessman. She hasn’t taken a salary in ten years as a result of business. We’re struggling like everyone else. With the ecnoomy.
I don’t usually advocate for violence, but these people should be viciously flogged with a stack of bankruptcy filings.
