Matt Lauer Give Back Your Money

Matt Lauer has never been known for his intellectual ability or thought-provoking analysis, however today he did show that he is a typical hypocritical celebrity. In pitching a report about widening gap between rich and poor here, Matt said, "Do you feel like you're working harder and harder these days just to stay financially afloat while fat cats get richer and richer?"

Matt Lauer should know about the gap between the rich and poor, he is paid $13 million a year to sit on a couch and yak it up and laugh. Once a year he does the "Where in the world is Matt Lauer" schtick, but he is an over-paid lump.

I don't see Matt lining up to give his money away or agree to a pay cut to help employ more people. No, Matt thinks he is worth $13 million a year. However, Matt isn't creating jobs for other people but he criticizes those that do.

When rich people complain about other rich people making more money it seems more related to envy than anything else.

The continually getting richer Matt Lauer could probably use some of that money for hair plugs, but again it is just on him.
