Welfare For Rich, Famous People
You canít visit David Geffenís Malibu beach house. Itís private property -- and off-limits to all hoi polloi -- unless it gets flooded. Thatís where the hoi polloi come in. Make no mistake: we polloi still donít get to visit. We just get to pick up the cost of rebuilding after the flood. Sweet, huh? Just like Bill Clintonís deal for his new offices -- those four times the size of his digs in The White House. Donít you worry that heíll be cracking into the $12 million he got from his recent book deal to pay the rent. Itís you and me whoíll be picking up the tab -- as we do for all ex-presidents -- rich, obscenely rich, or poor. The same goes for all the rich old people sucking off Medicare. At what point do we say, ìYo, moneybags, pick up your own damn tab?î
