ROTFL......seriously funny. I don’t know what you have against rich people. You sound like you would do fabulous over at DU......are you turning liberal. I bet you want income distribution now too.......I have seen rich people getting bashed lately......just a short few years ago that would never have happened. It is sad that jealousy has been taken over by hard work. These rich people worked hard to get where thy are.
Still, they don’t own the beachfront. They didn’t own it when they moved in either.
And as far as the dangers you seem to be concerned about, they’re unfounded. And the homeowners obviously have security guards patrolling the area very closely. Have their homes been broken into?
And if they want a fence, I’m sure they can afford to build one.
I have no objections to one being so called ‘rich’. Many of these persons have worked hard and learned the value of having not just earning ‘money’. However, many of these persons seem to have a difficult struggle to remain part of where they arose from. Perhaps they never intended or felt any obligation for such.
And I don't care if they don't like the hoi polloi wandering around behind their houses. Nobody forced them to purchase property abutting public land. If they don't want to see people, they can build a fence; if you're rich enough to buy beachfront property, you're rich enough to build a fence...And even if they aren't rich enough, well, tough. Not the taxpayers' problem.
You think David Geffen and Robert Redford: “worked hard to get where they(sic) are.”? Redford... for years was a boy toy actor/stud to an old broad who paid his way (guess that IS hard work of a sort). Geffen... major queer, and uh, agents don’t work, they “take” a percentage. Now, Geffen as a manager— maybe so. But remember, he gifted the world with Joni Mitchell, who now resides in a hospital, with “fibers” under her skin and terminal emphysema.
The public, namely the United States, owns and has legal access to the area between the high and low tide waterlines. US citizens anyway. The “rich” should make arrangements on their private property to ensure their safety, and have guards with them if they want to cavort. This ain’t josef goebbels land of the elite. Nothing these people do gives special value to them. And now, this ain’t DU— cause DU believes and says what you say about these “more equal” pigs on the Animal Farm.
