Yeah, but I don’t really care what other people think of me, so I don’t feel the need to have to have a ton of money just to impress other people.

I’m sure most of these politicians also don’t care what other people think of them which is why it’s so easy for them to do all this vile shit and stand in front of a national audience telling complete lies with a straight face. They aren’t doing it to gain approval from other people, they’re doing it because they’re following their own concept of what an impressive person does.
