Roseanne On Money
Does money buy happiness?
Yes, money does make you happier. I can't lie about it. You are not happy all the time and you are not ecstatic but it makes it so much easier just to walk through your life everyday. This whole world is based on money. So it makes it easier. Is that wrong? Yes. Are the best things in life still free? Yes. But boy! It sure makes it easier, definitely. For the things that it can make easier, it does.
What's wrong with the super-rich?
Now, God-dammit, if you can't live on a hundred million, you need to be destroyed. I'm sorry to say that, and I know my friend Rosie O'Donnel would say, "See, that's why you're so negative and people don't like you because you say they should be destroyed. You should say love, positive." But, I kind of half mean it, and kind of don't. But I think there should be some kind of price to pay for having over one hundred million dollars. That's, you can be the star on a hundred million. You can go around lauding things over everybody at a hundred mil. You don't need a billion. They all had to go to a billion from a million. Everybody wanted to be a millionaire when I was a kid. You know, I got a couple million, but it's not enough. Now you have to have a billion. It's crazy. And everything is being destroyed behind that. It's just crazy and it just drives me crazy too.
Should there be a 'maximum wage'?
There should be a maximum wage. Seriously, I support a maximum. And a minimum wage, too. Because there's enough money and resources on this planet that it should be like Disneyland every single day for everybody- and it could be.
Are rich people really that selfish and stupid?
All these rich people, they really are like booking travel on space ships to take them to other planets. They really are. I know people who is cost $20 million dollars and you will be the pioneer of a new planet. You will be shot there. But they think they are taking all the school funds with them. I think that they should be stopped. I think they should go to the other planet though. They should go there as a worker and should actually have to do work.
Why is it good to share money with others?
The more I share my money the better I feel. The more money I give away, the better it goes for me too.
