I know I'm going to get a lot of flack for saying the other day that rich people are better than poor people, but I'm not going to apologize for speaking the truth. When I co-hosted “Loveline” with Dr. Drew Pinsky in 2003, I never backed down and called Hawaiians stupid. In 2011, I went on a podcast and asked people exactly when they started disrespecting transgender people, and I didn't back down. I've said it before and I'll say it again. I'm a comedian, not a politician. (Some people may think I'm an idiot, but no, I'm actually a comedian.)
My point: Rich people work more. Yeah. So. I know this is probably not a popular idea or something everyone wants to admit, even to themselves, but luckily I'm not afraid to say it like it is. 100 degree sun is so easy. Don't even get me started on fare collectors and the lazy people who serve fast food, take care of children, and clean airport toilets. Listen, if these people want to make money, they should do something more difficult, like being the voice of an animated police officer Eclair in a Disney movie, or being the publicist for TGI Fridays for two years.
and. yes. Rich people are more focused. Poor people – I don't know if you need to hang around them now, but I mean, they're all over the place. How do I earn rent? How do I buy groceries? ” Well, have you ever thought that if you just slowed down and stopped thinking about how poor you were, maybe you wouldn't be so poor? I mean, have you ever thought that? This morning, my wife said, “Which school should we send our kids to?” And I thought, 'Baby, now I have to sit in an air-conditioned room and interview some assholes about being assholes as well. I have to concentrate. ” And she said, “Oh, because you work so hard and we can both live on the huge salary you deserve – because you work so hard and you don’t. It’s different from other people who don’t get huge paychecks.” Better—Why not? I Just worry? ” And I thought, “Great.” Now, let's be honest, how hard is it?
As for the whole frustration thing, a great example of this is when I went to pick up my Lamborghini the other day, I overheard this woman who worked in the showroom complaining about not being able to give her son a penny. I made it. She was too tired to continue working her second job, so she went to college. She was like, “She has to wait for the bus in Lankershim, then she has to wait for the bus in Beverly, then she has to wait for Doheny.” And this is what I wanted to be.lady. Those five minutes you were sitting there complaining to her about could have been spent waiting for the bus. 5 minutes left to university” But what can I do? Hey, if I knew how to show people what's right in front of them, I'd be a millionaire. And probably everyone else will too. Or maybe not.Because they need to be too. BetterAnd that position is already filled.
