Never said the man didn't enjoy his wealth. But unlike George, he didn't bitch about or resent his tax bill, the last one he got being pre-Reagan, pre-tax cut process for rich folks like him, that began in the early 80s. I could be a very happy rich person myself, insofar as it means being much more safe, secure, well-fed and confortable, living a life with nice things in a nice place...comfort, security, and freedom from anxiety. I can't bring myself to play the lottery as I see it as a complete waste of precious money, legalized theft of poor people's incomes. But I can sure understand the impulse.
As Sophie Tucker once said, +ACI-I've been poor and I've been rich. Rich is better.+ACI- In this world, anyway.
