This guy goes on TV and blithely declares that his elderly mother in law wouldn't complain if she didn't get her social security check this month, suggesting the only gripes would come from scammers. He's worth $1.5 billion. I would expect his mother in law lives in the lap of luxury. Eat the rich.
