Yeah. "Let them eat CAKE."
"Let them eat CAKE."I understand and sympathize with what you mean here. I hate tuh-ray-za as much as the next person does.
But the story of this quote is actually so interesting that I must point out that it is consistently misused.
In fact, the bread-makers in Paris at the time had a union-like strangle-hold on the price of bread and were driving it up beyond the means of the average person. Cake-baking wasn't similarly regulated/monopolized and the price of cake was thus far less. The words "let them eat cake" didn't mean "why don't the peasants just live like the rich people", it meant: "break the bread-monopoly with an end-run around the union-bakers".
Interesting, hey?
Now back to tuh-ray-za bashing, which I heartily enjoy.
I think she's a deal-breaker for many Americans.
Too weird. Too strange. Too much of a blatant liar.
