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 dont care. Not about you. Nor the American public. They cant see. Cant 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.
Heres how one savvy insider who knows described this Super-Rich Delusion: The top 1% live privileged lives, arent 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 arent concerned with the underlying deterioration of America or the world, except in the abstract, because they arent directly affected by it. Thats not to say they arent sympathetic, aware, or dont 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.

LibreOuMort is going to the Royal Wedding? Does she also get to go to the beatification of Pope John Paul II?

"LibreOuMort is going to the Royal Wedding? Does she also get to go to the beatification of Pope John Paul II?" Say, who's that guy standing up there next to Mrs. Sionnsar?

Oh.
That wedding.
I wasn’t invited.
Think of the money I’ll save on makeup alone!

To: fanfan
I did that on the previous visit. Agreed!
There's more in the area to see that I haven't seen, though. It's a pity that the day I have free to tour I'm an hour's train ride out of town, whereas my business (and business hotel) is just across the river from the Tower but I'll be busy the whole time.

I wasn’t invited, either. I was going to wear my lavender linen dress with the floral chiffon trim. From the Salvation Army, $4 well spent!

And LoM would have had to finish my new kilt.
Oh well.
Have to go away for a bit.

"I was going to wear my lavender linen dress with the floral chiffon trim. From the Salvation Army, $4 well spent!" You probably would have needed new shoes. I think you might have saved money too.
I would most likely prefer to see someone toss a caber, especially if I were allowed to select targets downrange.

Shoes can be the nemesis of many other wise perfect occasions.

"Shoes can be the nemesis of many otherwise perfect occasions." Except for someone with the uncanny and prescient fashion sense of our illustrious First Lady.

Shoes can be the nemesis of many other wise perfect occasions. So can the lack of same.

For the record, I would prefer to attend the Beatification over the Royal Wedding. I think there’s too much of a fuss being made over it. I guess the Royals have to have something to keep them from being bored to tears. A jolly good show for the public once in a while is preferable, I suppose, to a succession of funerals. No?

I agree. How can you look perfect if your feet are killing you?

The Mountbatten-Windsors haven't had a wedding or a funeral in quite a while. I suppose Prince Phillip can't last too much longer; hopefully he's sufficiently compos mentis to enjoy the spectacle without making one of himself.
