Tax the Super Rich now or face a revolution
Market Watch ^ | March 29, 2011 | Paul B. Farrell

Posted on 03/29/2011 8:57:23 PM PDT by Christus_Rex

Yes, tax the Super Rich. Tax them now. Before the other 99% rise up, trigger a new American Revolution, a meltdown and the Great Depression 2.

We know the Super Rich don’t care. Not about you. Nor the American public. They can’t see. Can’t hear. Stay trapped in their Forbes-400 bubble. An echo chamber that isolates them. They see the public as faceless workers, customers, taxpayers. See GOP power on the ascent. Reaganomics is back. Unions on the run. Clueless masses are easily manipulated.

Even Obama is secretly working with the GOP, will never touch his Super Rich donors. Yes, the Super-Rich Delusion is that powerful, infecting all America.

Here’s how one savvy insider who knows described this Super-Rich Delusion: “The top 1% live privileged lives, aren’t worried about much. Families vacation at the best resorts. Their big concerns are finding the best Pilates teacher, best masseuse, best surgeons, best private schools. They aren’t concerned with the underlying deterioration of America or the world, except in the abstract, because they aren’t directly affected by it. That’s not to say they aren’t sympathetic, aware, or don’t talk about the issues you bring up. They are largely concerned with protecting and enhancing their socio-economic positions, ensuring their families live well. And nothing you write about will change things.”

Good morning, everyone. 44 and clear skies. DP is going sailing with Tom this morning, and I’m taking the small byos to a Scouting project involving environmental-something.

Later I’ll plant pole beans.

I’m back. The byos marked storm drains for Mecklenburg County. Pleasant morning. Now I’m off to water the gardens. Ash has a stomach ache, and Shannon seems to be planning a spew.

I'm pleased that they got away with it, and that they had fun.

Couldn't you have used a dog for that?

Ash is a bit unwell today, and she prefers to go in the grass, anyway.

Morning. Slow going this morning — the Linux box didn’t want to boot. I think it’s dying.

I’m sorry. It’s sad when technology passes away.

Well, it was already an old machine when I built it up. There’s another built up, but it’s even older.

I don’t understand why computer-stuff has to be replaced so often.

If you used all the same old software, it wouldn’t have to be.
The P200 box downstairs (200 MHz Pentium) still runs Win95 just fine. And Office 97. But operating systems and applications tend to get larger and require more memory — of course they do a lot more too.

Doh, I’m sorry. I didn’t realize you were back. I thought you were going to be in London during the wedding.
