After all, they can afford lawyers and financial advisers, can't they? Aren't most of them heavily invested and diversified, just like the people the Rs hold up as shining examples of what it means to be an American?

3. If I need to explain it to you, then I probably can't.

2. Nah
Compared to the real power players they are small pickins.

Chris Rock said it with humor and accuracy. "There is a difference between rich and wealthy. Shaq is rich. They guy who signs his paychecks is wealthy. 'Here you are Shaq, go buy yourself another bouncy car. Bling Bling!" and "Oprah, for as much as she has, is rich Bill Gates is wealthy. If Bill woke up one morning with Oprah's money, he'd jump our the fucking window...'Oh my God!!!what happened to me!!'.

I am sure the "Hollywood Elite" will be fine, but they are far from being considered anything by the people who are really the Financial Elite in this country.
