That, and they advocate for others to live more austere and spartan lives.
From within the contradictory confines of their sprawling mansions.
It’d be great if they practiced what they preached.
I do so love when the liberal glitterati tell me how to live an ecologically friendly life from within their by-their-own-definition-ecologically-unfriendly compounds with their gates and armed security.

If you took all the money and wealth from the rich and gave it to the poor....
The rich would have it all back in five years.

Using that criterion, a guy with a $200,000 IRA has more wealth than 10,000,000 folks with underwater mortgages. But that's true.

Look at what Icelanders did to the bankers who screwed them over? They had them arrested, jailed, and taken to court!
This is what they are afraid of!

the super rich have already converted much of their US dollars and other currencies to hard assets and precious metals. These people are not stupid. They control it all and know by their creative scam that the fiat US dollar and other currencies are worthless on their face. When the oligarchs collapse the world’s monetary system they will be able to hide because most everyone else in the world will be concentrating on trying to survive day to day. The world’s oligarchs are counting on that. Beside, they’ll have the country’s military protecting them in what ever country they decide to hide in.

Just going all John Galt.
But they have not the least idea of WHY John Galt chose to vacate his place in the world. These people are running in fear, for their property, or their lives, or perhaps just something at ephemeral as their reputations.
The Galts of the world are simply disgusted and have given up on the vast majority of the human race and their petty avarice.

But that's true.
Exactly, but it doesn't mean he can lord it over those 10,000,000 people, or that the 10,000,000 people are living in unbearable poverty. I didn't say it wasn't true, I said it was misleading. Wealth does not equal standard of living.

I don’t think this is really anything new or even news at this point in time.
If you ain’t preppin’ and live where it makes more sense to ‘bug out’.... you lay out an escape path.
People know there is a violent revolt coming, what do you all think those FEMA camps are for? Celebrities?

I have my own plane and landing strip. If I wanted to be anonymous and go undetected, that's the last place I would come and go from.
Stupid article.

that sir, is one of the funniest, pithiest, best comments in the history of FR....very well done!
To: SamAdams76
But that's true. If you're talking about net worth, perhaps.
But if you're talking about baseline standard of living, it's not.

I think things will be OK for the time being. If Hitlery becomes next POTUS, Ok then it's time to jump ship. The Titanic is currently sinking. Hitlery winning would be like nuking it.
