Anyone who believes that money makes the man is either rich or ignorant, or both. I've come across some real assholes in my day...the majority of them have been business owners, beneficiaries, or other rich people with an undeserved sense of self worth...as if the fact that they have money automatically catapults them into some kind of "level" above the rest of us. The only people tolerable that have money are those who have worked their entire lives to earn it. If those SAME people, make their children work just as hard to earn money and respect as they grow, then all the better. I'm not saying that if you're a parent, and you can afford it, that you shouldn't help out your kids or close family or friends when they need help...but just handing them money and spoiling them will just turn them into douchebags...I've seen it countless times.
My real beef is with people, men or women, who have a big time title or even own a company and deal with their employees directly as if they were lesser forms of human. This goes out to these people directly. FUCK YOU! You think because you have more money or a better title then me, that makes you a better man? Nope. In fact, in most cases, it makes you one of the biggest assholes on the planet. And yes, of course I'm speaking from direct experience.
It's a shitty thing that there are people in this country and around the world who literally live in shacks and have to hunt their own food or play soccer with a fucking coconut. I've seen it. It's not cool. In the meantime, we have CEO's of companies who literally have anything and everything they want. It's always the people who work the hardest who make the least amount of money, too. Something's wrong with that. I know it will never change. It's the way it is. There's nothing we can do about it. We can't solve world hunger, we'll never have world peace, and the rich will always get richer before the poor get a meal.
All of the above sounds really preachy, I know, but it doesn't make it not true. I hate being poor. I hate living paycheck to paycheck and not being able to help out my family, who is also poor as fuck. I don't like filing unemployment every week and going to eviction hearings. I don't like getting laid off and having to withdraw my 401(k). I even bought an $8,000 ring from a jewelery store one time on a credit card and sold it for $2,000 at a pawn shop just so I could get some cash. And you know what the fucked up thing is? I'm a LUCKY one! I have my health, for now, and friends and family and wonderful kids who look up to me, no matter how much money I make or don't make. I don't have to worry about my kids getting dysentery because I live in a place where health care is available. It's not a perfect system, I know, but it's better than being in Somalia.
That's what irritates me about these smug fucks who can go out and buy whatever they want and send their kids to the best schools in the world and SAVE money and retire early and travel around the world. They have NO IDEA how lucky they are. They'll never understand. They'll say ignorant shit to poor tour guides like, "Gee, how much would it be to buy up a bunch of this land?" I'm not making that up, I was on a cruise during my honeymoon and some stuck up, cunt of a rich bitch from Manhattan actually asked our tour guide through the most poverty stricken part of the Dominican Republic. It took everything I had, and the begging of my wife at the time, not to wage an all out war against this absolute disease of a woman who had thousands of dollars of jewels but refused to give a dollar bill to any of the kids begging, (yes begging) for a buck from us rich Americans. It made me sick.
These facts make me realize; however, that THEY are the douchebags and the drains on society..not me, and certainly not the people who eat at soup kitchens or live in the streets. We're real people. You know who's fake? The people that pay thousands of dollars to go on cruises to places like the Dominican Republic and take a tour through what is easily the poorest place they've ever seen and instead of being enlightened, they snub their noses at these poor people who live day to day with no supermarket to buy food from, no running water, nothing. Compared to us, they have nothing. I'm ok with it...trust me. Better them than me. I'm not trying to sound cold, but seriously. At the same time, I make enough to barely keep a roof over my head and food on my kids table. At the same time, I'm not going to sit here and shit on people who have less than me.
So anyways, go fuck yourself rich people.
Also, I hate people who take slow right turns in their cars and I am REALLY not a fan of Jimmy Fallon.
