First he says:

"...for many of the rich flaunting is what it’s all about...So it’s largely about display..."

Then he says:

"...the truly rich are so removed from ordinary people’s lives that we never see what they have."

So I guess Krugman thinks that the rich flaunt their wealth for no reason, since ordinary people never see it.

Who cares what the rich see?

Krugman is just a ridiculous hack.
