I own enormous penthouses in Paris and Marseille, but I have the conspicuous feeling that there must be more to life than this. There must be more available to me out there.
There is indeed. Given François Hollande's desire to bleed successful people such as myself out of every cent we have, I find that I have to make do with two penthouses, both of which overlook the water (the Seine in the case of Paris and the Vieux Port in the case of Marseille). I am outraged by this! I have done some calculations and I have found that if the government adopted tax rates more to the liking of successful people such as myself, I would be able to afford to buy a château.
This makes me mad and arouses my tea party sentiments. I think that people who are not successful should be left to starve, but with one proviso: - that the government adopt a taxation and spending strategy that encourages people to buy magazines! Obviously, as I'd have to find another income if people couldn't afford to buy them.
Some people would accuse me of being hypocritical at this point and point out that I travel via gold-plated infrastructure (the TGV). I would counter by saying that the TGV recoups 100% of its service costs and 70% of the infrastructure costs by fares alone: - any true tea partyist would travel by train. Also, RFF (Réseau Ferré de France, the railway infrastructure manager) is forbidden from making unprofitable investments. But anyway, I digress.
I don't normally like things in the Anglo-Saxon world, but there is one lady I really admire in the Anglo-Saxon world. She is the Australian mining tycoon named Gina Rinehart (no photo of her on Wikimedia Commons, unfortunately). She is famous for her conspicuous consumption, greed and various other things: - much to my delight. She was at one point rated the richest woman in the world and I believe she still holds the Australian record. One of the things she famously did was calling upon Australians to take a wage cut, given the large number of Africans willing to work for $2 per day. Some people would say, "Now, hang on a minute, you call for us to take wage cuts when you are living a life of affluence". I would say, "You go girl!"
However, if I found a Wikimedia Commons photo of her, I would illustrate how immensely fat she is. She famously said that if people wanted to have more money they should “stop whingeing” and “Do something to make more money yourself - spend less time drinking or smoking and socialising, and more time working”. Yes, some people should smoke less and drink less. I would conversely say to Ms. Rinehart that some people should eat less! Honestly, if you see a picture of her, you will see how she desperately needs to replicate the French lifestyle when it comes to portion sizes. I think it is a shame that somebody as successful as her has no class and looks like a big, fat, ugly pig. If only she could complement her wealth by being classy, daintily thin and stylish!
