Lifestyles of The Rich and Wastful..

I was sent this site the other day and told here is some extra water for you. So I read on and to my astonishment this was so far fetched, I was shocked, then laughed. The reason I laughed is because here is a man that has the resources to live a lifestyle that would set an example for the rest of New York, and the country, instead what does he do? Here is an excerpt from the article: "Drexler’s $6 $10 million property in Bridgehampton used 18.4 million gallons of water in the last year — or 115 times the average for the country, reported the East Hampton Press and the Southampton Press".  Here is the link to read the... rest... of the story, http://blogs.wsj.com/deals/2011/07/07/j-crew-ceo-mickey-drexler-is-a-water-hog/ .

It's amazing to hear the elitist left, talk about how the average Americans need to conserve and reduce our footprint on the planet. I'm just curious how many other millionaires have waterbills that excede 5 to 10 times normal water consumption? How many gallons of jet fuel and gasoline they use above my minuscule 750 gal. a year, of gasoline? (Oh, I don't use jet fuel). It's nice to set these lofty ideas, and stand on a soapbox, and preach to the flock about how the poor commoners, are the burden on resources, when in fact those that preach the hardest are more often the ones that are the high consumers,( Al Gore) ring a bell.

The only way such an assertion could possiblly be true, that the less fortunate, are the wasters, is to add up all there consumption and compare to the total consumption of the elitists. Per capita, it is wrong, there are less millionaries than people that earn between $25,000/yr and $100,000/yr., but their consumption levels are 5-10 times that of a lower and middle class family. So in the end the rich end up being the wasters, along with the government itself. But hey, America, it's not enough to go to work, come home, eat dinner, go to bed get up next morning and do it again, repeat till 65. Lot of waste happening with that routine!

Good luck folks, keep drinking the kool-aid while they continue to live the American Dream.
