During the trial, a former housekeeper testified that she had heard Helmsley say: “We don’t pay taxes; only the little people pay taxes”, a quote which was identified with her for the rest of her life.

    Shitty thing to say, but true. The rich don’t pay their share of taxes. That’s left for us “little people” to pay.

      I have much more respect for an honest cunt than I do for a deceitful one.

        That’s like preferring a rabid grizzly bear that mauls the shit out of you over Malaria.

          It’s nothing like that.

          Do you prefer a man that says “as soon as you turn around, I’m going to stab you in the back”, or a man that smiles at you and then stabs you in the back as soon as it is turned?
