    I bet most were bought on HP
    Real wealthy people don't do HP
    And invest in vintage steel ;)
    Lets see how many of those people are still comfortable in 10 years time

    So if you're starting a new business today, surely you'd be nuts to aim for clients other than the super rich. The middle class is shrinking and want everything for nothing. The upper class is growing and will pay for high quality/service.

    Some of our best customers are welfare recipients.

    We could attract even more but we don't want to sell Chiko Rolls, seafood sticks, dim sims and kabana. Plus their arses are enough to put anyone off their tucker - which is not good for business.

    ..the easy money - any money that originates from a Government department. Whether that is a direct contract to government, work through a company that gets handouts from the government (eg. Holdens) or welfare/health care. But with all easy money, easy come easy go. It's fine for people like (I assume) yourself that are smart with that easy money and save/invest for a rainy day. Not so good for the majority of the monkeys that cry poverty when the milk stops pouring out of the teat.

    Bought anything from VAG lately? They ain't what they used to be. I thought I was being smart getting something that was assembled in Germany, still didn't make much difference.
