Hmm.

So, is the problem that he makes enough money to afford a Mercedez, or that 
he chooses to buy that instead of something else?

'Cause last I knew, he wouldn't be buying one on the salary of a member of 
the NC House of Representatives, so it can't be that you object to your tax 
dollars buying him a car they didn't buy him.

At what point do you suppose someone has so much money that they can be 
guaranteed not to look out for the little man? and at what point do you 
suppose one is so poor that they can be guaranteed to look out for the 
little man?

Just curious.

'Cause y'know, one day I'd really like to have the money to buy a nice 
little Mercedes convertible, or maybe a Ferrari, and though I'm fairly sure 
that won't ever happen, I'd like to know whether I'll be off the hook at 
that point about caring for my fellow men.

Cheers y'all!
