Billionaire tells the rest of us "You don't need that!" - Granite Grok

Billionaire tells the rest of us “You don’t need that!”

Again, the “tells” that someone is a Progressive:

  1. You don’t need that
  2. I don’t know of anyone who says they need that
  3. It’s about the quality of life“
  4. It is the cost of civilization

Jeff GreeneRight. Jeff Greene, who owns 5 mansions and flies a private jet (family + nannies) to the elitist Davos meeting, has the temerity to tell US we have too much (and fulfills #1 above)?

America’s lifestyle expectations are far too high and need to be adjusted so we have less things and a smaller, better existence,” Greene said in an interview today at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. “We need to reinvent our whole system of life.”

You first, you overgrown self-important know it all.  Yes, you made the right bet on subprime mortgages and you can afford your luxurious lifestyle – seriously, good for you.  But what right does that give you to demand the rest of us be reduced to hovels?  What drives you to believe you have the high moral ground to say “just this much and not one jottle more”?

Hypocrisy – you abound in it.  Like all of your ilk who makes such proclamations without living such high and condescending talk, you’re just a snot.
