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.”

I think the big mystery here is that MarketWatch published this incoherent screed in the first place.

... heck, I'd settle for a rich Super Soaker...
The “Super Rich” couldn’t pay off this national debt for one year much less anything else. Even the fortune of Bill Gates is wiped out by federal spending in 6 days flat!
Hi everyone,
Cold One, Regarding the car ride, try to take him with you as often as possible. I always give Rush a treat when we get in the car, which associates “good things” with the car ride.
On the running off thing, I’d keep him on leash until he starts to listen. When we walk Rush at work, he’s always on leash. We usually give him the run of our 1/2 acre at home, but only when we are watching him. Yesterday evening I put him on leash at home because a fox had wandered by the house earlier.
I’m sure Kanawa would be able to give you better tips as his dog is a pit, and Rush is an Aussie. Very different er, dog cultures. ;-)
Welcome back Face!
TC, I’m glad to hear DP’s Mom is doing so well! That’s great.
Thanks for the moving ping Sion.
Agreed.
More lurkers and FReepers will see the replies on this thread.
This line is really funny....
“They are largely concerned with protecting and enhancing their socio-economic positions, ensuring their families live well. “
LOL!
That statement applies to every functional human I have ever met.
