Right. They get anything but gratitude in return. As in, literally, anything. Care, planes, yachts, land, stocks, bonds, healthcare and all the political influence money can buy. However, if what they really want is gratitude, I'm sure we can work some sort of, ahem, free trade agreement.

Is there anything more repugnant than these callous, rich bastards for whom being disproportionately wealthy and powerful still isn't enough? When they talk about returning to the values of the past, are they really talking about the values of, say, ancient Egypt? Because they're really starting to sound like Pharoahs.

All hail the shiny golden gods.

Damn. I was hoping that was

Damn. I was hoping that was satire, but it appears to be sincere(ish).

In TeeVee land, rich media executives and pundits say that all the rich are noble people!!

WaPo columnist and general pundit Bernard Goldberg in 2010, in Thank God for Rich People:

I have an idea for a monument in our nation’s capital. I envision a big bronze and granite statue that would honor an entire group of Americans who are true heroes, and unsung heroes at that. It is time — no, make that long past time — to pay tribute to those this nation of ours owes a great debt; to those who give and give and give and in return get anything but our gratitude.

This is an idea whose time has finally come.

Right there, amongst the sacred national structures that honor great Americans, we need to build a shiny monument to …The Rich......

Just watched this abomination

Just watched this abomination on last night's Daily Show. What in the hell is wrong with these people? May CNN be unceremoniously sucked into a wormhole.
