Elementary, my dear Watson.

If he faces the consequences for his actions, he is poor. If he has people to do that for him, he is rich.

Wealth is measured in power and sway in capitalist society, not cash. If you can write a check to a lobbyist to get them to change a bill for you that you never voted on or participated in congress to enact, you are rich.

When you owe hundreds of dollars you have a problem.

When you owe millions of dollars your creditors have a problem.

When you owe billions of dollars, society has a problem.

his relationship to capital makes him a different class and therefore able to exploit the working class. bottom line is, if he’s cash poor it doesn’t matter; he’s a piece of trash.

Well, it would be his company in debt and not him

Does he live like he's in debt?

I know he's a bigger asshole than most of us.

Hmm. I wonder if he's richer than us.

Richer, the answer is richer. You can't become billions of dollars in debt without spending someone else's money, right? Otherwise what even is the debt?
