What a little pathetic bitch. Eat the rich
Just got a weird Clayton Bigsby feel from your comment, only instead of him saying 'white power' quietly at the end of his shouting, I thought of someone ranting about the harm rich people do continually ending their bellowing with a short, fast, calm, "Eat the rich" as a contrast at the end of any sentence. For example:
"BILLIONAIRES COULD BUILD A DOZEN STRAY ANIMAL SHELTERS FOR THE COST OF ONE OF THEIR YACHTS, BUT THEY'RE TOO SELFISH! THE ONLY ANIMAL THEY CARE ABOUT ... IS THEMSELVES! Eat the rich".
"NINE DOLLARS FOR A CUP OF COFFEE?! NINE DOLLARS COULD PAY FOR A STUDENT'S BREAKFAST AND LUNCH! Eat the rich".
"OW! I STUBBED MY GODDAMN TOE! Eat the rich".
The examples give a vibe of radio advertising, with a sped up text in the end telling you ‘we are not responsible for anything, terms and limitations ~~will~~ may apply, consult your therapist, your lawyer, your neighbour, and your dog’
