As more and more ppl are failing through the cracks, the wealthy ones seem to be oblivious and insensitive to that fact. They are buying and building more stuff than ever for themselves, going on fancy vacations all the while relatives are hitting the skids. They just don’t seem to care. After all, it ain't their problem. How long will this kind of behavior continue?

With all of the talk about the housing collapse and then this, I thought it was interesting that my uncle, who is a contractor in Central to Southern Florida, emailed me a few days ago, wanting to know if I'd like to take his Science magazine subscription off of him. The reason? Not because he couldn't afford it but because he's too busy with orders.

can't remember where he's at, somewhere between Jacksonville and Ft. Lauderdale. Probably half way on the east coast (near Orlando). He works a lot of multi-millionaire dollar homes for the very rich in Florida. I think when he says he could bid all day on contracts, it only reinforces this point of view about the rich. They are going on a spending spree like the rest of the country doesn't exist.

How long will it last? Until their money can't protect them from the SMZ (Starving Mass of Zombies). When they either lose their money or can't protect themselves, then they'll care.

Lets throw this in perspective...

You are wealthy and i am wealthy. In fact everybody able to visit an electronic forum like this is wealthy. So, you can ask the question; why don't I care (enough)? How long do I continue to behave like this?

Question; why is the "i" when referring to ourself always written using a capital "I"? Do we deserve a capital "I"?

Have fun!

Enormous profits are made in every disaster.

This fact is easy to forget in the midst of hard times.

I think it's terribly sad that there are millionaires out there that don't give a crap about their own kin in a time of need. I pray to whatever God is out there to "karma out" these folks in the end.

But yeah, the rich will hang in there to the bitter end, even as the world crumbles around them. I just hope they have to deal with things such as hate-filled insults every time they go shopping at Whole Foods, having their armored SUV's spray-painted and egged wherever they go. And if there comes a time when only 10% or so are even able to drive personal vehicles, I can see the resentful poor laying down spike strips on streets and highways everywhere, just to cause them aggravation and hardship...i.e., "Why should they be able to drive a car, when the rest of us can't?"

I really do foresee a time when the rich will be truly hated by the American people, maligned in the popular media and by left-leaning politicians (which will be just about all of them), facing the kind of contempt African-Americans once did. And when things get really bad....let's just say, I'll be awful glad that I'm not gonna be one of them...LOL

What I'm getting at is, many middle class ppl are failing off a cliff right now while the wealthy are spending like mad on themselves without a care or concern about what's happening below them. I mean $25,000 for a playground in your backyard for two little kids? or a $300,000 garage, but wait, we need another one. Or that $80,000 boat, the $80,000 sport car, the $100,000 theater room. Christ, it never ends. At least they could invite me over for a pool party.
