Exactly. I don't personally know, nor do I think I've ever met, anyone
who was so wealthy as to need offshore accounts.
I always hesitate to get into discussions about Trump. But he does
happen to fall into that category when it comes to wealth. I'm not
saying he has offshore accounts, although it certainly wouldn't surprise
me. I do have to wonder how much he could possibly know (or actually
care) about social programs. He's never had to be "on the dole". He's
never had to worry if he could afford to see a doctor. His father was a
successful real estate developer. The Donald came from money and made a
hell of a lot more of it. We all know he doesn't listen to his advisors
(he fires them as fast as he hires them) so I cringe when I hear him
trying to discuss such issues. Mostly I try to avoid listening to him.
