Nah, judging by the comments, she has a lot of fans.

It seems like almost everyone that's wealthy wants to take advantage of poor people. Recently, my girlfriend and I had to file lawsuits against employer, motel and insurance. All within 6 months. She felt bad at first but I shared with her, that if we don't stick up for our selves, they'll run all over us. No! Your paying for the car wreck (that someone else caused), you're paying for the bed bugs and you're paying for my girlfriends teeth to get fixed because her work place has unsafe work conditions. It's time for the wealthy to pay up! It's becoming rampant, with these rich pricks taking advantage of others.

SUMMER OF 1992 COCOA FLORIDA
I was 18 and I had an argument (with my then 33 year old stripper) girlfriend. I packed my beat up and rusty 1975 Chrysler Córdoba with furniture and hauled my drunk ass, speeding down U.S. #1 (jamming out to Guns N Roses with my Pioneer tape/radio )from Cocoa to Titusville. I was feeling freedom and great. So great that I waved to a cop that was sitting in the median.
About a mile down the road, I see blue lights flashing. I pulled over and he and he walks up to the side of my car and asks, "Do I know you?" I replied, 'No, why?'
His reply, "Because you waved to me back there. I thought I knew you." Nope! Just happy to be getting out of an abusive relationship.
Officer: "What's all that stuff in the back of your trunk?" Me: "I moved out"
Officer: "You been drinking?" Me: 'Yes sir'
Officer: "About how much?' Me: "About a fifth of Jack Daniels"
Officer: "Wow!" You seem pretty sober for drinking that much alcohol. How much further you gotta go and where you going?" Me: 'My parents house, which is about 3 more miles.'
Officer: "Ok, be safe and slow it down. I'm not going to arrest you because your speech is normal and honest and had the guts to be straight with me. Me: "Ok, thank you" (heart racing, thinking; damn I'm going to the slammer and no one's gonna bail me out.)
Similar incidents happened a few times in my late teens and early 20's. Thankfully never got locked up for it. I finally smartened up and realized it was frikken selfish of me and that I could hurt or kill someone.
