Would any normal person run a person down in their SUV and feel nothing; what about a
rich person? That rich person must be infected with affluenza and isn’t to blame. Affluenza
actually isn’t to blame, but it infects an entirely different group of people. It is relatively normal

anyone can have it, and affluenza cause major problems. Affluenza can’t be cured if people only
think the wealthy can have it. Ethan Couch may have affluenza in some way, but affluenza is not
to blame for his murders.
