The poor whine about having no home at all, or maybe a two-bedroom apartment for a family of six. They should just think for one moment [...] that it's damn expensive to be rich. [...] Consider the costs of maintaining up to five different homes, some of them up to 45,000 square feet in size, most with tennis courts [...] and wine cellars requiring constant supervision. [...] For example, if the boss is in Palm Beach [...] and wants to send his jet to New York to pick up a Chateau LaTour from his South Hampton cellar, the butler makes it happen [...].
A mean-spirited critic [...] might grumble that the rich should simply find a new circle of friends. But [...] if you were in the $100-million-in-assets set, you could hardly consort with the class of people for whom a pittance like $10,000 might be a transformative sum, possibly allowing granny to get her insulin. [...] People of that class could not be trusted not to pocket the silverware [...] in your powder room.

And the rich have to worry about avoiding taxes, while the poor whine about paying them.

Most of the poor I know look forward to their returns.
Something has to pay that electric bill and back rent!
