      Presumably that’s all from stocks, so when the bubble pops they may be back to where they started.

    A lot of people also don’t see that the Netherlands have been lifted from the Eurasian continent and landed on the Moon.

    In both cases, people don’t see it because it’s not true.

      Yup. Bingo. This is exactly it, and other billionaires think this is the case also.

      They’re going to be really confused and outraged when people start eating them.

    The current US economy is the greatest economy… if you’re a billionaire

    If you’re a landlord collecting rent from 1,000 tenants, you’re rolling in cash right now

    If you own a large amount of stocks, you’re rolling in cash right now

    The economy is great for the rich because they’re able to take all the value generated by the working class

      You can generally replace the word ‘economy’ with ‘rich people’s yachts’ -

      "Trump claims ‘a lot of people don’t see’ that America has ‘the greatest rich people’s yachts right now’ .

      Yep - still works.
