he DID say "more rich assholes." What I did was parse his sentence to show how it COULD be interpreted the way Jason and I did. "more" only means an increase in the original number. Since there were no other qualifiers (such as "some") it is possible to infer that he believed the entire body of rich people to be assholes.
btw: he later clarified his meaning and thats fine. Again, my original post was regarding Jason's take on Eliud's original statement and I just wanted to say I agreed with Jason at that time.
