    Even if this was correct (see the comments about how it really isn’t), it wouldn’t matter much since he was still right.

    And $10 million isn’t really that much, it’s still at the level where you have to budget income and expenses and money is tangible. The 1% of the 1% are the ones who are past that and leverage power with their worth, it’s no longer about whether or not they can afford anything.

    The top 1% earn 650,000 a year. George Carlin doing standup for 50 years he would have earned 200,000 a year if you split that up equally over his career, and then there is the 21 years prior to his standup career.

      We have seen a lot of this weird sentiment…

      Brian Thompson is a working class hero

      Luigi is a elite

      Carlin is part of the of the club because he died with boomer type money…

      He was rich but he didn’t control the capital nor did he shill the ruling class propaganda
