I wonder if there's a point at which they stop and think that they don't need one. more. thing.
I turn the mirror on myself. I have a pretty healthy income (nowhere close to high enough to be affected by a tax hike on 250k plus, though), a 1500sf house, three cars (the newest is 12 years old), and a fair share of gadgets. Spending a couple hundred dollars on something is doable without worrying about paying the mortgage.
All in all, that's awfully wealthy compared to a lot of people in this country alone. I'd still like to have more money to replace one of those cars with something newer and nicer. I wouldn't mind getting a house with even more space. A 50 inch TV instead of a 37 inch TV would be pretty sweet... I imagine it's just like that only scaled up.
I think until you get to a very select group who can basically buy anything they want without worrying about tomorrow, it's pretty easy to think 'it sure wouldn't hurt to have just a little more income'.
For some rich people, the extra income is about keeping score.
Oh, Pope Palpatine... What the fucking fuck.

I've fallen into this site and I can't click out.
Dude, I can't follow that. Is he saying:
1. The Church didn't used to think pedophilia was so bad; and
2. Child pornography is on the rise and society thinks it's okay.
?? Because dude, that makes no sense. Also, way to cast the blame for your child-abuse scandal on society as a whole.
Pope? STFFU!
Jesus is shaking his head at you RIGHT NOW.
Now I feel bad for all the good catholics of the world.
Agreed, tommy. Agreed.
Every time I hear a story of Catholic fuckwaddery, I take a deep breath, think of JZ and her congregation and regain a little POV.
But...he seems to be saying that it's a shitty thing that it appears to be becoming "normal." He talks about child sex trafficking as a tragedy. I mean, I'm not a big pope fan, but it seems as though he clearly thinks these are shitty things.
