Absolutely incredible.
“How dare these guys work hard and provide a decent living for their families, and how dare they enjoy the fruits of their labor?!” or better yet “Screw the contracts (that the govt KNEW about); honor means nothing, business ethics are dead - these guys have too much stuff and the govt needs to make them stop!”
On one of the radio shows the other day (I think it was Levin but not sure) he discussed some guy’s article who went on the “bus tour” of AIG homes being run in CT by Acorn. This guy said he was from inner city Hartford and had never seen houses like that before (ie thought the display of wealth was obscene), and that since AIG is 80% owned by the govt, he thinks that the public should have access to all these exec’s toys - their bball courts, their cars, their tennis courts, pools, country clubs etc.
OK, so let’s make sure we have the logic straight. Whoever owns the company should have access to all their exec’s stuff?
People have lost all ability to reason. And they have no idea, really, where they’re asking to be taken. Scary, sobering stuff.
Its very easy to abuse the basic feelings like envy, and direct it into a rage. The experience of Russian revolution and many others was bloody: mobs were killing people, while revolutionary agitators were fueling the fire.
ACORN (the group behind these ‘Bus Tours”) is agitating for an incident.
