“I could care less about this woman’s supposed plight!  A majority of the uber-wealthy are selfish, greedy people who play a big role in why the ‘playing field’ is not level!” a reader argued.

“Are we supposed to feel sorry for her?” another one asked. “My supply of empathy and sympathy for her situation is empty. She has $15M plus some funds from the sale of the house and a bevy of friends in the 1% tax bracket who are funding her lifestyle.”

“She enjoyed riding the pony until she couldn’t. Screw her,” wrote a reader.

“Not quite sure I can feel sorry for her.  My husband and I worked hard for our money and to put our sons through college. We had real jobs. We didn’t influence anyone,” another said.

“Maybe she should try working a real job.”
