Until this celebrity is living on $50k a year (as half of all Americans are) and wondering how the higher taxes and energy/food costs demanded by the Obama regime will affect his standard of living, I invite him to STFU!!

*shrug*

I live on less than that, in Canadian dollars, with a higher tax rate, and I agree with le Bon about keeping perspective. I'm not exactly rich, but I'm well fed and my bills get paid.

*facepalm/sigh*

My point was that a person living the life of a celebrity should not insist that “the little people” keep things in perspective. When I said $50k, I meant “Less than $50k”. If you believe that the standard for living is the third-world African model, then feel free to live that way. But, I get up every morning, drive to a job, and stay there for most of my day and then come home. I do not want to work like that and then live like an African or Indian!

Prosperity encourages Americans to work harder than they have to, and that helps to supply the world with innovation, technology, medical advances, and food. When you and Simon LeBon get your way and we live “in perspective”, who will pick up the torch in this world and work hard to create excess?
