Let CBS tell the plumber in Pittsburgh, the carpenter in Cleveland, the little old lady in Lauderdale: "It was only $11,952,500.00"

I agree with you that wealth among a few Dems AND Repubs has grown so large that it is dangerous - but to S. Redstone $11MM is just a periodic diversification transaction. He has $1.8 BILLION dollars and an army of lawyers - not a significant ransaction, nor a cause for attention.
In the last 25 years we in the West (including our 401k, we means all of us) have accumulated $10 TRILLION dollars of personal wealth.
That is why Bush wants an ownership society. If we own it we care about it.
