I am convinced that Ptooey was born, relative to most, with a silver
spoon in his mouth. I don't necessarily mean he was the offspring of
0.001 percenters, just that his parents were affluent. He has written
that he lives off investments yet is only in his early 60s, but his
description of his working life does not paint a picture of someone who
made a lot of money, invested it well and now has earned the right to
live well in an earlier retirement than most people can imagine. No -
Ptooey definitely gives the impression of someone who is living well off
investments others made. You simply don't live off investments if your
working career was spent dabbling as a tennis instructor, paralegal and
other modestly paid pursuits.

Because Ptooey didn't earn his financial security, he takes it for
granted, as do so many children of privilege. As with the Kennedys, he
has a "I've got mine, now **** the rest of you" outlook.
