5. Well, it's not surprising that people flock to these megachurches.

After all, America IS filled with frustrated millionaires. Otherwise, the people wouldn't vote against their own economic interests so often so the rich can have more. The pretzel logic behind it is that 'well, if I vote this way now, sure it helps HIM, but WHEN I get rich, it will help me, too!'

That's why the estate (or 'death') tax is so unpopular even though it would help redistribute wealth.

By the way, when you wrote, "I rolled my eyes. Really? You went swimming in the ocean wearing your diamond necklace, you dingbat? Hah! I'm glad-do you hear me?-glad that you lost your fucking diamond necklace because you had to swim in the ocean with it, you stupid cow," it made my night!

I mean, that was really funny!

I'm GLAD, do you HEAR me???
