This is, quite possibly, the most disgusting thing I've read all year

"People who don't have money don't understand the stress," said Alan Dlugash, a partner at accounting firm Marks Paneth & Shron LLP in New York who specializes in financial planning for the wealthy. "Could you imagine what it's like to say I got three kids in private school, I have to think about pulling them out? How do you do that?"

Don't you just weep for these poor rich people?

For all the talk about "class warfare", sometimes I think we don't see nearly enough of it.

If private school matters to you, you prioritize private school, and ditch the housing upgrade and the yacht and the vacation. Like normal people. That's what we did on $25K/year and shitloads of financial aid, living upstate in a city with awful public schools (when I taught in NYC they were so proud of being the best of the "Big Five" cities) and no flexibility to move to the suburbs (or to a house that wasn't falling down around us). And you don't whine about it. Ugh.

It's one thing to whine about it, but to a reporter? For the actual press? Like your petty complaints have merit?

I don't understand this.

For all that public assistance is "entitlement programs", nobody has more of a problem with entitlement than the rich.

They've got a problem with entitlement? I figured they just accepted it as their due, poor dears.
