Not only is it your fault you're poor, but you killed the American dream, too, dammit. As noted economist Milo Yiannopoulos once said, "Stop being poor." Well, he didn't say it. That was written on his t-shirt, and he's broke now. Fox News co-host Charles Payne is probably a fan, and his colleague Sandra Smith is likely one, too. And for fuck's sake, stop your broke ass from buying Louis Vuitton items. Grrr!
"We featured some of these TikTok videos where they cling their Louis Vuitton over the shoulder and say, "I'm living with my parents, I'm deep in credit card debt, I have student loan debt, but I don't care," Smith said for whatever reason. "I deserve this or whatever it is." But at the same time, they are complaining about high prices and the cost of living. So there is this changing psychology as well. "
"There's a psychology, and listen, last year, Bernard Arnault became the richest person in the world," Payne said. "He's the chairman of Louis Vuitton and that's in part because we're spending mindlessly. You walk into a Louis Vuitton store, and you have people who are racking up stuff, and then after that, they go home to a basement somewhere, to a project somewhere, to a trailer park somewhere, you know. And it's just absolutely nuts, and so it's become ironically -- sadly to be quite frank with you -- culture."
