People who handle a lot of money loose track of how much that money is actually worth.

e.g. Rich people have no gut-feeling whether the tip they gave is too small, just right or way too big.

e.g. Professional poker-players have a similar problem: They win $20,000, they lose $28,000, they win $15000, they loose $12000... In the end they make a tiny profit, but so much money passes through their hands that it has lost all meaning to them. Losing and winning big sums of money has become something trivial to them because it happens all the time.

I've also heard stories about certain very wealthy people never carrying cash with them, and expecting others to pay for trivial things like a pack of gum. Assholes.

I strongly support Trump to all my repub coworkers. I would love, LOVE! to see him face off against the best the Democrat's have to offer in the general election.
