A Democratic New York City Council member this week told his constituents that being a rich person was much more difficult than being a poor person.

In a video posted on Twitter by Paste Magazine journalist Walker Bragman, NYC Council Member Fernando Cabrera this week was shown telling a crowd of people that rich people have much more difficult lives than poor people because they have so many more responsibilities.

“Millionaire people, they have a lot of stuff to worry about,” he said. “More stuff to manage… they really got there because of their ability to handle more pressure.”

Cabrera then went on to tell constituents that their own paychecks were a direct reflection of their own capabilities and limitations.

2. I hope he gets run over by a bus...

Here's an idea for those horribly oppressed rich people...put your money where your Ayn Rand worshiping ass is and QUIT....deprive us all of your hard work and greatness...I have a feeling that you and all your glory will not be missed AT ALL you fucking toad.

5. Goes to show you that Democrats are not immune to the pervasive mindset...

Fortunately it is not endemic in the Party, but that mindset is there and this fool is living proof.

It is a poor area.

8. The homeless have no utility bills or mortgages to worry about.

Okay fella, we get it.

9. Place the rich under the genuine pressures of being homeless and watch them crack.
