QOTD: Jay Z

I guess when you’re worth nearly half a billion your perspective changes:
When you just say that ‘the 1 percent is that,’ that’s not true,” Jay-Z said. “Yeah, the 1 percent that’s robbing people, and deceiving people, these fixed mortgages and all these things, and then taking their home away from them, that’s criminal, that’s bad. Not being an entrepreneur. This is free enterprise. This is what America is built on.”
I’m not sure who it is that’s condemning the entrepreneur. Most people are just asking that they support the broader society that helped them get to where they are today. Not everyone can be a hip-hop superstar.
What is it about vast wealth that gives these people such thin skins?
