You don't speak for all of us either, I was obese, I have since managed to (thanks to the wonders of being poor and having a physical job) lose a lot of the weight.

I was not offended by someone calling what was once commonly known as a "Fat cat" (a rich person) financially obese, because it's accurate and easily conveys the meaning and message, that these billionaires actively choose to keep hoarding money despite knowing that they couldn't spend it in their lifetimes without buying countries (or islands ahem North Fox Island / LSJ)
