That wouldnt even make a downpayment on AirForce1

The U.K. economy wouldn't even make a downpayment on Tampa, either.

than your dads car :-)

Thanks for asking. It is the Aussie equivalent of yank. I.e. like you
are (probably) a pom. AFAIK, it is Aussie rhyming strine (is 'slang')
which goes yank - septic tank - seppo.

Correct.

America by your definition probably has more rich people only because
they are too clueless to figure out how to spend their wad.

Most of them seem to find a use for their money. And if they can't, I
certainly can.

Mike, we should probably ease up on him (yeah, right!). Apparently he
wants to read about the civilzed world (see Newsgroups and then we go
and treat him 'badly'! Shame on us!

No, it's a reply that deliberately uses the same flawed reasoning, for
purposes of illustration.

American's are rich? Really? With all that money, makes you wonder why
they need to KEEP BORROWING SO MUCH!

The government is borrowing a lot. In fact, on a per capita basis, the
major part of every American's debt is his share of the national
government debt.

Permanently having more money and income than you know what to do with.

So Richard Branson doesn't qualify because he knows what to do with
his money like building hot air balloons and speedboats.

M probably thinks Branson is "old money" because of the "Sir" :-)

Right. I didn't realise Oz did a version of Cockney rhyming slang
with an extra bit on the end. Second thing I learned today.

Correct.

so to be rich you have to also be idle by your definition?
(I'm sure Branson has loads of money he is *not* spending on his
many projects).
