    It’s projection. “I’d blow it all on coke and hookers, so obviously everyone else will too!”

      I think it’s also just a side effect of their place in life. If you have disposable income already, a few thousand dollars is more disposable income. You can’t picture what poverty is really like when you’re a few thousand short on bills for the year every year and so you have to give up meals etc to make ends meet.

      Well, if only one person does spend it on hookers and blow, it’ll be the only headline…such is our news media.

        They have the time to call everyone else lazy. We’re all too busy watching each other be busy.

        The people with the most money spend it on hookers and blow. Probably underage, trafficked hookers. You know, like Trump did.
