Forget the gap between the poor and the rich, what we really should be concerned with the growing gap between the rich and the super-rich. I mean, some people out there can only afford one yacht! The Onion explains:

“[When I grew up,] my pool didn’t even have a waterfall! I had to share tennis courts with other families.” – Author of Personal Jets on a Budget.

    Hilarious! This is an epidemic, I mean, some rich people actually only have…and get this, one $30,000 watch. Thats insane, the government needs to step in and help the rich, this is getting crazy. The other day I was driving and I saw this rich guy driving a 200K Ferrari 360…I mean geez if he worked a bit harder he’d at least have one million dollar Ferrari Enzo. What a lazy rich guy, I guess he’s always going to stay rich and nothing else..I feel so bad for the rich! lol

    Thank you The Onion and Jonathan. Part of me is certain I’ve heard that very conversation with different words on CNN 🙂

    I guess it’s pretty funny but it seems like it just obscures a real issue.

    As a parody site, all the Onion ever does is obscure real issues. 😀

    If you don’t browse the Onion newspaper or website on a regular basis, check it out as it is one of the most humorous things coming out of my hometown of Madison, WI.
