A Fat Cat
|
«They're the fat cats in our town. They've got tons of money.» «I like to watch the fat cats go by in their BMWs. I'm no fat cat. I can't even pay my normal bills!» «The fat cat who runs the local bank is a greedy jerk who enjoys taking advantage of people. Even though he has so much money, he tries to cheat other people in business, even over the most trivial things! He won't even tip waiters at restaurants properly.»

Poverty often deprives a man of all spirit and virtue; it is hard for an empty bag to stand upright.
Бедность часто лишает человека всех душевных сил и доброго начала. Трудно поставить прямо пустой мешок.
