I can’t muster any sympathy for the rich, except that it’s a shame she didn’t spend that wealth she had before she lost it to help those less fortunate.
Why ? It was HER money. She and her husband earned it, and in the process paid taxes, some of which were used to help the “less fortunate”.
What a private person does with their own money is THEIR business, not anyone elses. . .
Just... wow.
It was her money and it was stolen from her. Again, it was her money to do with as she wished and it was stolen from her.
The granite state must grow them different, because I thought conservatives were about respecting private property and not envying others for what they have.
I’ll never have 7 million dollars myself but I can certainly sympathize with someone near retirement age having their entire nest egg stolen from them.
Maybe, her government should have taken all of her money and spent it for her? Yeah, that would be better/sarc. Maybe you should have taken it from her and spent it as you thought best. A thief is a thief is a thief.
Can you tell that I’m peeved?
Shove off then. They could use a bit of your envy politics at DU.
How can you call yourself a conservative when you feel it is your prerogative to decide how others should spend their money?
The article says she spent $400,000 each year. I'd wager the majority of that DID, in fact, go to people less fortuante than she was.
Quit yer bitchin, we live in a capitalist society, where wealth is still spread.
Sounds rather leftist...
